I really appreciate the thinking behind the post & convox itself. What's the business model for you guys? Just commercial support?

First we're focusing on making the open-source foundation awesome. Take a look at our GitHub for our current work making the installation easy, builds fast, and supporting all the AWS services and regions that everyone wants:
The next phase will be commercial support and managed hosting. Reach out to support@convox.com if this is something you or your team are interested in.
Past that, we are carefully studying other successful open-source technology companies. Something like the nginx "open core" could work great for "enterprise" features like role based access control or auditing.
