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.

The sexual revolution in the Arab World is changing rapidly. The Middle East has become a place where women are more accepted, and they are allowed to express their sexuality. This is especially true of young Muslim women who are educated and who are not under pressure from family or community to be submissive. This is a welcome development in an otherwise conservative society that values traditional gender roles, especially for wives.
When the United States military invaded Afghanistan, the first place they sent was the Arab world, especially Saudi Arabia. What happened there? It was as easy as ABC: the young, educated Saudi Arab women (Arabian قصص سكس ) saw this as an opportunity to be liberated and to be proud of themselves, and to be more assertive. They opened up to their husbands about the new freedoms they were experiencing in their relationship with the man they love. They were liberated to explore the sexuality and relationships they were opening up to.
The Islamic religious culture of the Middle East is also changing, in ways that affect women's sexuality and relationships. A woman in Saudi Arabia is expected to stay quiet, obedient, and submissive for her entire marriage. A young girl growing up in a conservative environment would be expected to live like this, but now, in a country where the religious beliefs of the past are being replaced by new ones, women are being allowed to take control of their own sexuality on this website. They are taking responsibility for their own body and are making decisions about how to create, share, and enjoy sexual experiences.
The Arab world, which is also becoming more liberal on other issues, is seeing the changes in relationships between women and men. Women in Saudi Arabia have the same rights as women in many other countries, and it is now common for women to be seen outside of the home, walking along the streets or on the beach. A woman will not feel as though she is restricted by her dress or her behavior, because she is free to go where she pleases.
But what is happening in the Middle East is no longer simply a change in attitudes toward women in the west. It is now an extension of a new revolution in the history of human sexuality - a revolution that has been called the Arab Renaissance - and this time it is changing the very nature of women's sexuality and relationships, and marriage in the Arab world.
If you were to look at the history of the Middle East, you would see the emergence of many cultures, each with its own unique form of sexuality, and the development of different concepts about sex. Even in areas like Egypt, Rome and Egypt, there were a great shift in the concept of marriage and sexuality, as well as a shift in the role of women within the household. One of the most important aspects of these changes is the evolution of the role of women in the family.
In the early Islamic religion, a woman's role within the household was to be a mother. She was not to be the sole provider and had to be the breadwinner of her family. However, with time the roles began to shift, and she became the breadwinner, as a teacher, or even doctor. This shift was not only from her position within the family to a position outside it - she became a homemaker. Women in the Muslim world are now becoming more confident in their own sexual identities and relationships with their husbands, as well as with their husbands and partners.
There are still obstacles to overcome when it comes to the acceptance of women in the Arab world, but it is changing quickly. As the Middle East becomes a more open and progressive region, and the new openness about sexuality is becoming more accepted in the Muslim world as well, we will see these changes continue. As more people recognize the importance of marriage and family, more couples will realize that they need not be confined by their religion to remain unmarried.
