Open Social is a purpose-built community engagement platform. Developed on top of a powerful open-source Drupal technology framework, Open Social allows organizations to create a central online hub for their members. Open Social allows easy communication, group formation, content collaboration, event creation, social interaction and seamless sharing of ideas, experiences, expertise and more. A community is much more than just a group of people in the same place or space. A community is made up of members who connect and come together around a shared identity, interest, passion, project or purpose. Open Social specializes in creating highly engaging online community platforms. We tailor every platform to the unique needs of each organization, making sure we help you serve your member needs and reach your shared goals. Those needs and goals are different for each organization. It all depends on what type of community you are!

bbPress is forum software, made by the WordPress community. Have you ever been frustrated with forum or bulletin board software that was slow, or full of features you don’t need? bbPress is focused on simplicity, flexibility, a deep integration with WordPress, web standards, and speed. We’re keeping things as small and light as possible while still allowing for great add-on features through WordPress’s extensive plugin system. What does all that mean? bbPress is lean, mean, and ready to take on any job you throw at it. Every line of code is written with these principles in mind, and if that sounds good to you get involved! bbPress is a GPL licensed open-source project made possible by thousands of contributors and believers around the world. Patches and RFC’s are helpful and encouraged, and props are given and gathered for each contribution.
