+![Discourse 3.0 is an Amazing Release With Much-Needed Feature Additions][1]
+
+Discourse is an open-source forum platform known for its vast features and third-party integrations.

+
+The **[It's FOSS Community][3]** forum is **also****powered by Discourse**. If you have any questions or want to join in discussing Linux/Open-Source stuff with like-minded people, feel free to sign up on our community forum.
+
+Now, moving on to Discourse's latest release.
+
+**Discourse 3.0 is finally here**.
+
+This comes almost **five years** after the release of [Discourse 2.0.][4]
+
+This release is packed with plenty of new features and improvements; let me take you through them.
+

+
+Discourse's **Product Manager**, _Rishabh Nambiar,_mentions:
+
+> Our goal is to empower communities with an integrated experience as conversations shift between faster-paced chat and slower-paced discussions.When ideas are sparked that belong in a more discoverable place, chat messages can be quoted in topics where the discussion can continue over time and allow people in different times and places to join in later.
+
+#### User Tips
+
+![discourse 3.0 user tips][11]
