CiviCRM is an solid and feature rich web based CRM that supports an organization or non-profit's ability to service its members. In a recent implementation for client they are using CiviCRM as an association management tool for memberships and event registrations. Associations are a huge area for growth in the CiviCRM market, and the ability for an organization to own and control their own data via an open source platform is a liberating experience. Coupled with Drupal and/or Wordpress makes CiviCRM and ideal combination for ANY non-profit or association.

City Bible Forum is an Australian not-for-profit Christian organisation. We need to communicate effectively with our constituents, and CiviCRM gives us a comprehensive set of tools for managing relationships. Interestingly, we often find that new features are being added just as our need for those features is becoming apparent. It's the right fit for us.

We help many not for profits implement CiviCRM through consultancy, training, configuration and custom development. Many of them come from a painful world of old Access databases, multiple spreadsheets and even paper. It's really satisfying to
help people move on with a system that's so much in tune with their own ethics of sharing and collaboration. We also 'eat our own dog food' and use Civi in-house for our client records because we love the flexibility and control it gives us.

For us it's important to share code and advice with other members of the community when we can because we know we get it back in help at other times. The community really is awesome and one of the friendliest and undaunting I've come across. We appreciate the huge value of the software to us and our clients so we try to contribute back and make it even better.

Still thinking of a deep deep quote. Basically:

It is super important for non-profits, advocacy and related groups to take charge of their destiny. Having control of your data is a good start. The crowd-sourced nature of an open source project in so in line with the co-operation and principles of most non-profits

CiviCRM is a project that strives to make the above possible. It is FREE as in kittens.

Announcing CiviCRM 4.3 beta2!!!

Submitted by yashodha on March 6, 2013 - 23:06

The team is super excited to announce the second beta release for 4.3 with support for Drupal 7.x, Joomla 2.5.x and WordPress.

Please remember this is a BETA release and it should NOT be used on production sites - however, we  strongly encourage everyone to upgrade a copy of your current site(s) on a test server and let us know about any bugs or problems. Join the Community Release Testing initiative to help ensure an awesome stable release!


What's new?

Here are the "Top 10 Reasons to Get Excited for CiviCRM 4.3". In addition to this 1100+ issues have been fixed which are part of 4.3

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

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

  • CiviCRM 4.3 on Drupal 7
  • CiviCRM 4.3 on Joomla 2.5
  • CiviCRM 4.3 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.
 

Step up and help out!

The moment of releasing CiviCRM 4.3.beta2 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 4.3 - 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 4.3 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 4.3.beta2 labels, e.g. civicrm-4.3.beta2-drupal.tar.gz or civicrm-4.3.beta2-joomla.tar.gz or civicrm-4.3.beta2-wordpress.tar.gz. Make sure you're downloading the correct version: for Drupal or Joomla or Wordpress.

 

New Installations

If you are installing CiviCRM 4.3.beta2 from scratch, please use the corresponding automated installer instructions:

  • Install CiviCRM 4.3 on Drupal 7
  • Install CiviCRM 4.3 on Joomla 2.5
  • Install CiviCRM 4.3 on Wordpress

 

Upgrading to 4.3.beta2

The procedure for upgrading is described in following documents:

  • Upgrade Drupal 7 / CiviCRM 4.0 Sites to 4.3
  • Upgrade Joomla Sites to 4.3
  • Upgrade WordPress Sites to 4.3

We will continue to include automated upgrades for subsequent beta releases of 4.3 - so you should be able to upgrade your test site easily over the course of the release cycle.
