Thanks for cc'ing me and letting me know about the mailing list. I have subscribed and am trying to catch up with understanding the goals, but it seems promising.

I first want to define what we mean by IoT
Heh.
IoT technically means (my understanding) a way of accessing edge devices over the internet or allowing edge devices access to the Internet.
The self-describing bits of greybus and the ability to create standard Linux devices without caring about the actual hardware bus is the interesting part. Unlike say USB - which is a self-describing network but, is tightly coupled to a wire-level bus, greybus (can be made to be) hardware agnostic.
I think self-describing, pluggable network is what makes it a candidate for people to rehash the abused and unloved IoT term.
If it helps I will never type the TLA IoT again in a greybus email... :)
