Ask Slashdot: Is There Space For Open Hardware In Networking?

New submitter beda writes: Open hardware has got much attention with the advent of Raspberry Pi, Arduino and their respective clones.

However, there is not much happening in other areas such as home routers where openness might help improve security and drive progress. Our company (non-profit) is trying to change this with Turris Omnia but we still wander if there is in fact demand for such devices. Is the market large enough and the area cool enough? Are there enough people who would value open hardware running open software even with a higher price tag? Any feedback would be most valued.
