A NEW COMMUNITY FOR OLD DOCEBO USERS AND NEW FORMA.LMS USERS

As you may know, since February 2012 the LMS Platform "Docebo" changed from free open source to a commercial business model. Our team created a new supporto community to give the users of this great LMS a place to share knowledge and mods.


Check it out under http://www.elearningcommunity.net.



Now it has become Forma Lms reference community.


More than 250 very active users, more than 300 topics, more than 1750 messages.


Support, patches, fixes and mods can be found there and other new features will be released soon.


Among the other open source LMS out there, Docebo is one of the most complete and "modern", in particular considering the latest version 4 released just a few moths ago.

This platform features a few unique features such as customizable user fields, powerful and customizable reporting system, a solid and flexible administration system allowing the management of multi-client and multi-template environments, native certificate management, and much more, making it really interesting especially for corporate training.


Many companies all around the world are using DoceboLMS, but not all are ready or want to shift to the new commercial license: some are just happy with the latest versions, for some other ones the migration to a new platform would just be too difficult and expensive.


Many others could still be interested in using the latest open source releases for their e-learning projects. This new "self support" community is hosted and maintained by Elearnit and a group of docebo users, developers and consultants, in order to provide all these people a meeting point and an option to keep alive the open sourcebranch of the software. The previous versions of the software until the latest 4.0.5 are still under the open source license, so they are still free to use and distribute.


The old official community is still available for read-only (http://www.docebo.com/community), with some explanations for the business model change that happened in Docebo, while the new pricelist can be found here: http://www.docebo.com.

If you have projects already running on Docebo until version 405, or want to keep using it for your projects under the open source model, www.elearningcommunity.net is the new place to go.
