As one of buro9's users, I have to say I was very happy to hear that the software was going to be Open Sourced, however I was dreading having to migrate it all to my server. In the end I'm much happier that buro9 found a way to keep it ticking over. Given the choice of continued service vs. Open Source I definitely would have chosen continued service - but it's even better to have both! |

It's worth noting for people that don't know, that I ate my own dogfood. The communities and forums I run are now hosted on Microcosm.
So when we were facing the "What next?" moment, I knew I had to install and setup my own instance of the platform just to give my users an uninterrupted service.
What I did, was for every customer already on the platform who had stuck with us, loved what we'd done... I offered them space on my instance.
I never wanted to leave even a single customer in the lurch. I think it sucks that startups do, especially if a way can be found.
