I am one of the SimpleCV Developers. We are overjoyed at all this feedback. We have a few really exciting things coming up that we would like to share:
1) We will probably release the SimpleCV 1.2 super packs next week. There are a ton of sweet new features. We could really use some beta testers. Please let us know if you are interested.
2) We just signed a book deal with O'Reilly Media to make a SimpleCV guide. We are soliciting input from the community about what CV problems they need solved, or cool projects they would like us to do.
With respect to our business model, right now we are focused on quickly and cheaply delivering open-source machine vision solutions for manufacturing. If you have a manufacturing contact that has a machine vision problem and is looking for a solution we would love to talk to them. In the next month we will have a development scrum that will focus on our Seer product. Seer will the framework for deploying your computer vision projects in a cloud context. This means being able to remotely deploy and manage a vision system (i.e. CV as a service). Also along these lines we are actively looking for partners for the DARPA iFAB BAA that will be released soon (see: https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id...). If you are going to submit a proposal for this contract we would love to talk to you.
Since we're open source we welcome and encourage community participation and feedback. If you have a cool project or a pony request shoot us a message via twitter (@Simple_CV or @IngenuitasInc) and we can chat and perhaps help you with your project.
