ABSTRACT
The massive access to the Internet has changed the way we interact and relate. Social networks registered a massive adoption. Free and open source software (FOSS) eases the diffusion of social networks. Moreover, FOSS content management systems (CMS) allow the development and customization without requiring high technical knowledge. WordPress, the most used CMS, is widely used in the proliferation of social networks. This CMS disposes a social network plugin, the BuddyPress. In this paper the authors describe the architecture and functionalities of the BuddyPress. It's also presented a SWOT analysis on BuddyPress.
