If we don't use it directly, I can always borrow any interface ideas that people find compelling. I'll be looking at it but let me know if you have favorite features.

Yeah, they've got a set of really good graphic and interaction designers. Everything I've ever seen from them has been slick.
But I agree with Dario.
- We're not looking for an end-to-end solution at this point (no matter
how often we might get calls and emails pitching them). 2. They didn't open source the dashboard, only their datastore. This isn't surprising, as that's a large portion of the value they add. Plus, we absolutely cannot use SaaS for most analytic purposes because of privacy concerns.
If it were fully open and we could host the application ourselves, we definitely would have considered it six months ago. While that ship has sailed, I would still love to pursue other ways of working together, as I have a lot of respect for the MetaMX guys.

Jessie: I don't think so, we've now invested a significant amount of effort in building a dedicated infrastructure. It would have been awesome to have an off-the-shelf solution at that time, but the timing of the announcement is unfortunate and I suspect incompatible with our roadmap. Diederik should be able to expand on this.
The metamx dashboard remains one of the best examples of how a usable dashboard should look like that doesn't require analysts to operate, but it also requires significant hardware to run (MetaMX use 800+ cores on EC2).

Does this re-open the door for us to potentially work with them?

You may remember that one of the reasons not to consider a potential
partnership/collaboration with MetaMarkets was that part of their analytics stack was proprietary. Today they announced that they are open sourcing Druid, the distributed data store that powers their dashboards:
