Hello,  
Does [https://discuss.openedx.org](https://discuss.openedx.org) a native open source forum module from Open edX, or there is a third party provides it to Open edX?

@Maky This forum is built on [Discourse](https://www.discourse.org/), which is a software not related to Open edX. I don’t know the hosting arrangements for this particular instance though.

@Maky Also, if what you are interested in is embedding Discourse within an Open edX instance, there are discussions about this in this thread: [Discourse integration plugin for Open edX](https://discuss.openedx.org/t/discourse-integration-plugin-for-open-edx/508)
