Will you develop any code for CONGO that won’t be part of the AGPL codebase? You betcha! CONGO will be deployed at for any event that needs hosted, maintained, supported environments. All bug tracking tickets will move as well. I will be moving the entire code base from the existing Cloudforge account to Github. Thank you everyone who has used CONGO, contributed bug reports and feature requests, or just worn a badge that has been printed by this system… I’m very proud of it, and I’m looking forward to new users and contributors. This is not a code fork – I will continue to update and publish changes to the source code, and anyone can download the new versions as soon as they are committed.īy doing this, I hope to get wider adoption of the system, and bring more users, developers, and implementers on board. Stonekeep will retain the copyright and license as documented on the website, but any organization or individual interested in using CONGO for free, under the terms of the A-GPL, will be able to do so. To that end, on February 1st, 2014, I will be releasing the CONGO source code, making it available to be downloaded under the Affero GPL license. I am only a single developer, and it’s increasingly hard to make time to both develop CONGO and promote and market it sucessfully. However, I’ve come to realize that my continuing hold on the software has limited its adoption. I’ve wanted to make it easy for people to use, allowing event managers to bring sanity, organization, and accountability to their registration processes. It has always been my wish to make CONGO as widely available as possible. Several events now rely heavily on CONGO for year-to-year attendee tracking, allowing online registration, keeping up-to-date history, managing thousands of attendees, as well as the relationship CONGO has to Zambia, the scheduling system. There have been many successes and a few bumps, but all in all it’s been a great adventure. Since 2002, CONGO has been used for many events of all sizes, registering and printing badges for tens of thousands of attendees. Over the last 12 years I’ve been working hard to develop CONGO into the best convention registration system I can manage. (This announcement is also being posted on )
