CiviCRM is one of the core offerings of our company. Remaining close to the CiviCRM community is important to us, as it keeps us close to new developments in the tool, and allows us to offer our feedback for new releases.

The community around CiviCRM is international, multicultural, friendly, sometime opinionated but always respectful and welcoming new ideas. It is a real pleasure to interact with these people - but see for yourself: dive in and ask your first question on the forums!

We thoroughly appreciate CiviCRM as a software and this community, and when helping our customers implement and make the best of CiviCRM we are always looking for ways to contribute back.

Civi has been an amazing tool for CMJ (and for other organizations I work with) to keep our most important data all in one place in a user friendly way.

At the Wikimedia Foundation, we leverage CiviCRM to maintain millions of records of donors and their contributions. Working with the product and particularly with the community has been a terrific experience. There's nothing quite like two open source organizations working together to meet their respective goals while ultimately strengthening the open source community as a whole.

Being part of the CiviCRM community is really something to shout about! Not only is CiviCRM an amazing software package, its designed for organisations that make a difference in the world. We help non-profits across the UK gain control of their data through the power of CiviCRM.

It is without a doubt the best piece of software I've ever worked with, and I'm constantly discovering cool new features. More recently I've been working on CiviMobile as part of a project for my course at University. I'm really looking forward to seeing this being used by organisations across the globe.

AustLII is the leader in the free access to law movement and has a philospophical bias towards open source systems. After investigating all the other possible major alternatives it seemed logical to turn to CiviCRM. We have software developer resources, and though it is not core business, we may be able to direct some of these resources towards improving CiviCRM for the community.

Announcing CiviCRM 4.1 beta 2!!!

Submitted by yashodha on January 9, 2012 - 01:11

The team is excited to announce the second beta release for 4.1 with support for Drupal 7, Drupal 6, Joomla 1.7/1.6, and the integration with Wordpress 3.3 (wohoooo!!!).

 

Please remember this is a BETA release and it should NOT be used on production sites - however, we  strongly encourage everyone upgrade a copy of your current site(s) on a test server and let us know about any bugs or problems.
 

You can also test drive the release on each platform using the public sandboxes:

  • CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 7
  • CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 6
  • CiviCRM 4.1 on Joomla 1.7
  • CiviCRM 4.1 on Wordpress

Please spend some time running through your critical workflows on these sandboxes, and report any bugs or issues on the release testing forum board.

 

What's new?

Here's a quick list of some of the cool new features and improvements in this release:

  • Personal Campaign Pages for events - CRM-8534
  • Scheduled Reminders for Events - CRM-8669
  • Social networking plugins (Facebook "like", Tweet ...) for event and contribution pages - CRM-8737
  • Support for case custom fields - CRM-8508
  • Simplified Administrator menus - CRM-9059
  • Assign multiple contact subtypes and change subtypes  - CRM-8357
  • Consolidate CiviCRM Cron to provide a single interface for configuring the automated scripts- CRM-8358

Want to learn more? Check out the complete list of new and improved functionality on the issue tracker.

 

Step up and help out!

The moment of releasing CiviCRM 4.1beta2 is a great occasion to get involved in CiviCRM community. There are many ways you can help make this release better and bug free.
 

  • Log in to the one of the sandboxes and try out the features you or your clients use regularly. If you find a problem, first check the open issues list on the issue tracker to see if it's already been reported. If not, please report it on the appropriate forum board. Remember that sandbox data is periodically reset.
  • Download the tarball and upgrade a copy of your site to 4.1 - let us know if you encounter any problems. This is an especially valuable contribution since we need to have the upgrade process tested on different sets of data. After you've done this, play around with your favorite features, with your local data. Problems appearing? Use the CiviCRM 4.1 release testing board on the forums to discuss problems and find answers!
     
  • If you're a developer and have PHP skills, we strongly encourage you to develop and attach a code patch AND a unit test along with any bug you report through our issue tracker. Ping us on IRC if you need help figuring out how to do this.

 

Downloads

You can download the release from SourceForge - select from the civicrm-latest section. The filenames include the 4.1beta2 labels, e.g. civicrm-4.1beta2-drupal.tar.gz or civicrm-4.1.beta2-joomla.tar.gz or civicrm-4.1.beta2-wordpress.tar.gz. Make sure you're downloading the correct version: for Drupal or Joomla or Wordpress.

  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 7
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 6
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Joomla 1.7
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Wordpress

 

Upgrading to 4.1.beta2

  • Upgrade Drupal 7 / CiviCRM 4.0 Sites to 4.1
  • Upgrade Drupal 6 / CiviCRM 3.x sites to 4.1
  • Upgrade Joomla Sites to 4.1

We will continue to include automated upgrades for subsequent beta releases of 4.1 - so you should be able to upgrade your test site easily over the course of the release cycle.
