You've probably heard by now that Blackbaud has announced it intends to acquire Convio in a roughly $240 million deal. The biggest impact will be felt by Convio clients and the partner vendors and consultants in the Convio ecosystem – and there's lots of speculation about that already. That's the interesting story here.
