Community
Societies using SocietyPress, helping each other out.
What "Open Source" Means Here
SocietyPress is released under the GPL v2 license. That means you get full access to every line of code. You can see exactly what the software does, how it handles your data, and how it works under the hood.
If your society has a developer who wants to tweak something — change a layout, add a field, adjust how a feature works — they're free to do that. The code is yours to modify.
This isn't a call for contributors or pull requests. SocietyPress is developed and maintained by a small team. Open source, to us, means transparency and freedom — not crowdsourced development.
