DotNetNuke (DNN) is web content management software. The software comes in several versions: a free open-source Community Edition as well as fee-based commercial Professional and Enterprise Editions.
Product history
DotNetNuke originally evolved from another project called IBuySpy Workshop, created by developer Shaun Walker in 2002.[2] Early versions of DotNetNuke were released by Walker's company, Perpetual Motion Interactive Systems Inc., while later development was expanded by the open source community.[3] By March 2003, the first stable open-source release arrived as version 1.00.05.[1]
In September 2006, four members of the project's board of directors formed a corporation to oversee the development of the project. The new DotNetNuke (DNN) Corporation was co-founded by Shaun Walker, Joe Brinkman, Nik Kalyani, and Scott Willhite[4] and replaced Perpetual Motion Interactive Systems Inc. as the corporate entity behind the project.[5]
On November 25, 2008, DotNetNuke announced it had acquired Series A financing from Sierra Ventures and August Capital in order to accelerate product development.[6] The project eventually moved to the Microsoft CodePlex in January 2009.[7]
In October 2009, the 2009 Open Source CMS Market Share Report concluded DotNetNuke was the leading .NET-based open-source web content management system available.[8]
In February 2010, DotNetNuke announced it had acquired Series B financing from Sierra Ventures, August Capital, and Pelion Venture Partners.[9]
In the summer of 2013, DotNetNuke Corporation announced it had changed its name to DNN Corporation.[10]
In 2016, DNN began migrating to GitHub from Codeplex.
In August 2017, DNN Corporation was acquired by ESW Capital, with former Director of Corporate Strategy at Intel Andy Tryba taking over as CEO.[11] Three months later DNN announced its Ecosystem Advisory Groups as a means to "revitalize the community."[12]
