Dave Burke is a freelance Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer with an excellent track-record as a CommunityServer MVP, CS Developer and evangelist for .NET based Open Source software development.
Dave Burke’s CommunityServer technical writings would occasionally include CS Nuglets or “Sueeties”. These are really neat features that help the developer do things quickly, logically or remove a heap of additional work. I’m fairly sure this was the origin of the name for his open source software concept “Sueetie”.
Sueetie is a collection of Microsoft .NET based Open Source Social Networking applications which are truly free, open, without limit. Its collection of applications today includes:
These great open source product ingredients work as practical alternative for customers currently based on CommunityServer who for commercial licensing reasons, need a migration to open source products.
To be a contender to replace CommunityServer of course the core applications alternatives must be robust, configurable and provide close alternative functionality to the ones offered in CS. However, the real issue is all about membership;
Because Sueetie and all the products detailed above (or others which could enter the platform) are all based around Microsoft.NET Membership, an existing member database from CommunityServer can be migrated without losing (or resetting) member credentials.
Many CommunityServer sites we work with have looked with interest at Joomla, DotNetNuke, vBulletin, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server and some that have appeared and disappeared as quickly. Because Sueetie is designed especially for the CommunityServer customer it provides the cleanest migration route.
Ambay Software are fully signed-up supporters of the Sueetie community and able to offer CommunityServer migration support.
