[hackerspaces] Convore shutting down

[Richard Frankum]

So the dominant theme for my browsing today seems to be link rot.
I found this forum-like site from the hackerspaces.org links, and it
looks to have good information in it, shame it's been largely
abandoned.
Convore's information will be disappearing in a couple weeks, so if
you want to save any of it, now is a good time to do so.

I think it was a great way to compare and contrast the "business" of
different hackerspaces, something which takes a lot of research time.
I suppose now I'll have to switch to browsing reddit's
/r/hackerspaces?

My only problem is... who shuts down on April 1st? That is the one
day of the year you *do not* make announcements for. March 31st?
sure. April 2nd? of course. but April 1st? really?

I'm not sure if the post is an April Fools joke or not... but if it's
scheduled for April 1st, don't count on it.

I guess I'm inured to that - Japan's fiscal year (and school year)
traditionally goes from April 1 - March 31, so we get changes to
*everything* on April Fool's Day.
Of course, when you mention April Fool's to anyone here, they'll
immediately classify it as "oh that strange not-holiday Americans do,"
so it's of no use generally to warn against it.

Having said that, backed-up data is always prefereable to
about-to-disappear data, so I'll be checking the archives this week.
