Is webOS open source? Presumably not yet, or I would have seen it ported to more devices by now? Its fans would be insane to pour effort into saving a platform which is controlled by some completely-disinterested corporate entity. Any platform with significant closed-source components requires caution and compromise, but signing on to webOS is like a death wish at this point unless you own the thing. Instead, make sure that enthusiastic users can spread your apps by themselves — directly from phone to phone without any centralised system. I hear they invite kids to Defcon now. Maybe one of the third graders can give a talk about the problems with this idea.
