Convore Shutting Down

Convore was a pretty big hit at PyCon 2011. It was useful because it allowed people to create different rooms for each event going on at the conference. It worked really, really well.

Too bad it wasn't a product that could be sold. The technology and site were cool and worked well.

I really enjoyed Convore on PyCon last year. Much more than Twitter for example. I remember there were rooms on just about anything, and among other things I met some guys to grab beers with on Convore. Too bad it didn't work out.

I wonder if they'd be willing to release it as open source?

The code would need a little bit of cleaning up before it could be released, but this sounds like a good idea to me. I left the company quite a while ago, so my say no longer counts, but I would be supportive if Leah and Jori decided to go down this route.

Looks like it's a no-go, I just got this back from Leah:

Hi Chris,

Sorry, we aren't planning on releasing the Convore source code.

Leah

Boo! Oh well.
