DNN Blogs

There are a lot of blog entries and articles in the Web about that topic, and it has been discussed a million times in the last years - esp. since Let's Encrypt entered the market and Google announced that using (or not using) HTTPS will affect site ranking. But still I find sites in the community that don't use it, so here I want to work out reasons for doing a change.

If you are not a coder by nature, Github is created by aliens. It first it makes no sense whatsoever. At a second glance it does not get better.
But I am Dutch, stubborn and determined to get involved. So, here is the Github for non-devs. No command lines. No power shell!

Since the launch of the website at DNN-Connect in Champery, there has been made quite some progress. More in detail will follow in seperate blogs. Today we had a meeting about what has been  done and what is on the plate for next months. Replay of the meeting is on: ​https://fccdl.in/VhewA3UL3S

We held our monthly Awareness DNN Ecosystem Advisory Group meeting today. This month, we had a lot of activity around the new .org website initiative and documentation. There is so much to be "aware" this month. Don't miss out...

What’s that you say…?  You don’t know that there is an open source, for-the-community, by-the-community effort underway to build and launch a community website for the DNN ecosystem?  Well, now you know.  And if you weren’t aware of that, you also may not be aware that YOU can help us.  We need help of all types.

Hello folks! Today I’m happy to announce the release of a new auth provider for DNN Platform, that leverages all the power of Azure Active Directory B2C to any DNN based website. In short, this allows you to use a common and centralized identity service across all your customer facing applications, including the integration of your DNN website. And is Open Source and available on GitHub! 

Last year the DNN MVP program was refreshed, turned over to the community, and a new batch of MVPs were nominated, voted on, and inducted into the community. Well, it’s that time again and the nominations for 2019 MVP are open. Get the details on how to nominate individuals for MVP in this blog!

Today we launched the new DNN Summit website!!! 

The look and feel changed slightly but the site is still very much in line with the DNN Summit brand.  The beauty, though, is honestly "under the hood".

A few of us are discussing whether to move away from Slack as a collaboration tool in favor of the forums on the new community website. The two main drawbacks with Slack are (1) that it is "yet another tool" and therefore not immediately available to someone who wishes to join a conversation and (2) that old discussions fade away in time (and also not searchable etc).

The DNN Technology Ecosystem Advisory Group continues to meet on a weekly basis mapping out the future of DNN. The meeting agenda and minutes are shared here in blog entries so that everyone can see the progress being made and conversations occurring in the group.

This May 11th meeting we discussed about the 9.4.0 feedback, release planning, the Dnn upgrade service and more.
