DNN Blogs

When you’re running an open-source platform like DNN, security is never “done.” It’s an ongoing process. The same openness that makes open source powerful—shared code, community collaboration, peer review—also means that vulnerabilities can be easier to find and exploit. That’s why the DNN Community takes security so seriously.

For a next minor release (e.g. 10.2) we are planning to move DNN Platform off a project called Client Dependency Framework (CDF in short). We need you to help us test the proposed alternative.

In our previous blog post, we introduced the idea of creating a true MVC pipeline for DNN. From the very beginning, we want to be open and transparent about how this project evolves. That’s why we are sharing updates as we go, instead of only publishing results at the end

In this meeting of the Southern Fried DNN User Group, we all hangout and have an exciting time catching up with each other and sharing projects we've been working on with DNN recently.

My last post talked about a new community effort to bring an MVC pipeline to DNN Platform.  As you may know, that could really open a door to a transition to .NET, as sites may no longer need to have any dependency on .NET Framework.  For this to happen, we have a LOT of things that we need to discuss, and this post is just one of my first posts, sharing some of the ideas, questions, and thoughts that I have of how we might be able to make this transition a reality.

It has been just about 5 years since my last overall update blog post was shared regarding DNN Platform, high-level technology needs, and future roadmap items. A lot has happened over these years, both for DNN itself, our community, and technology as a whole.  We have accomplished many of the goals that were outlined at that time, and we have some great new efforts by various DNN Community members that we need to revisit, embrace, and see where they will take the DNN Platform in the coming years.

About four weeks ago, we held our annual DNN Connect event in Girona, Spain. A new venue, but not a new destination. We have been to this region a number of times, and Catalonia has never disappointed. The food and wine are delicious, the climate is friendly, and the people are welcoming. This year was no different.

During an Open Content meeting, Sacha Trauwaen (the developer of Open Content) shared an intriguing idea. He created the concept of a secondary DNN rendering pipeline based on MVC 5 without WebForms.

It might have been the most exciting Connect ever!
