People create _Spaces_ in a _Neighborhood_, and fill those _Spaces_\nwith _Furniture_ to meet their collective digital needs. For example:\n\n- A Regional Co-operative network could provide their members with shared payments and video communication infrastructure.\n- A Farmer's Market could provide professionally designed websites and social media presences for their vendors.\n- A Co-operative Startup Incubator could keep capitalization tables, Patronage Records and other logistical records.\n\nNote: `Furniture` has been renamed to `Gizmo/Gizmos`.\n\nYou can see more in the [Zinc neighborhood](https://convene.zinc.coop).\n\nWe have two milestones we are working towards:\n\n- Product Milestone:\n  [1.0 Andromeda](https://github.com/zinc-collective/convene/milestone/1)\n- Engineering Milestone:\n  [Cleanup!](https://github.com/zinc-collective/convene/milestone/3)\n\n## Using Convene\n\n[Zinc] maintains a Convene Neighborhood at https://convene.zinc.coop. For people\nwho want to run their own Neighborhood of Spaces, consider purchasing a Convene\nOperator License.\n\n[zinc]: https://www.zinc.coop/\n\n### Purchasing a Convene Operator License.\n\nIndividuals and non-commercial organizations may run their own Convene\ndeployment however they see fit without requiring payment.\n\nHowever, if the person or organization engages in commerce, defined as taking\ncurrency in exchange for goods or services, then the organization must purchase\na license to use Convene.\n\nPricing is determined on a case-by-case basis. Please reach out to\n[`hello@zinc.coop`](mailto:hello@zinc.coop) for licensing information.\n\n### Help and Support\n\nOrganizations and individuals who are comfortable relying on free Community\nSupport are encouraged to [start a discussion][discussions].
