Tech to the People

http://techtothepeople.com

Over the past 15 years I've been involved in several open source communities.
CiviCRM is without any doubt the one that has the strongest focus in welcoming "newbies" and letting everyone feel at home here. Another impressive feature is the focus on shipping. No matter what you think of CiviCRM today, you are almost sure that there will be a newer and better version in a few months.

I've been working with CiviCRM since 2006 or thereabouts. The community is outstanding in providing support and sharing expertise, which combines with a strong product to enable me in turn to deliver better results for the organisations that I work with. I only hope that over time I will be able to repay the debt by supporting other newcomers to CiviCRM.

The community around CiviCRM is both welcoming and vibrant. CiviCRM as a software solution is a powerful and flexible data management solution for a vast array of nonprofit organizations ranging from the startup NGO to the established multi-million dollar foundation. In our daily work we are seeing more and more NPOs moving away from proprietary systems and single vendor SaaS solutions and embracing the open source community around CiviCRM. Organizations using CiviCRM love the extensibility and the freedoms that come with open source, freedom to choose hosting, freedom to choose project partners, and the freedom to re-use, re-purpose and re-deploy without paying extra.

MongoDB as civicrm cache with new config

Submitted by Deepak.Srivastava on March 16, 2013 - 23:00

After my previous blog post, i have been working on making progress on working model w.r.t NoSQL and config. Starting with civicrm cache was a good idea. Keeping in mind NoSQL, new config system and what Eileen has already done with settings, here is what i planned and accomplished  :

Gitty-up! CiviCRM moves to Github

Submitted by totten on March 1, 2013 - 18:22

As of March 1st, the official source-code repository of CiviCRM has switched from Subversion to Github. Git and Github provide a number of advantages:

  • Popular among FOSS projects and web developers.
  • Free as in beer and (mostly) free as in speech.
  • Supports off-line development.
  • Supports lightweight branching, merging, and code-review.
  • Supports open teams – anyone can jump-in, make changes, and share changes.

For instructions on converting an existing installation (based on SVN or tarball) to a git checkout, see:

Taking Config Management To Next Level

Submitted by Deepak.Srivastava on February 10, 2013 - 04:38

As part of my course i have been doing research on what would it require plug an external storage engine into CiviCRM, and how other open source systems doing it. Answer lies in a better config system which allows doing it in a scalable pluggable manner. As i make progress i'll be showing more reasons to get excited and curious about building a better config system. Drupal 8 has spent a fair bit of time on configuration management to make things easier. And we shouldn't shy learning from them and others.

ERD for CiviCase version 3.3

Submitted by ErikHommel on November 20, 2012 - 00:50

Just created a quick ERD for CiviCase, and shared it on this page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC42/CiviCRM+ERD+3.3.

It is version 3.3, so not the latest and greatest. But I am sure I will have to check the same ERD for version 4 at a near point in the future and update the ERD too. And I do not think there are major differences in the data model......

I have also attached the ERD to this blog post.

Translations for Extensions

Submitted by Joe Murray on September 26, 2012 - 09:15

Extensions are a growing part of the CiviCRM way of doing things. We need to develop a process and toolset to facilitate getting them translated and making those translations easily installable. This post is intended to lay out some issues and a potential approach in order to generate discussion.

Here are some assumptions and suggestions I have:

Simultaneous Editing

Submitted by totten on July 22, 2012 - 18:01

Brian Shaughnessy (lcdweb), who has been working with the New York State Senate's CiviCRM project, recently raised the issue of simultaneous editing: What happens when two users simultaneously make changes to same contact record?  We've held a few discussions on IRC to examine the issue and draft some solutions.  We would appreciate further feedback and ideas on how to address the issue.

Native Module Development

Submitted by totten on March 27, 2012 - 08:59

Many CiviCRM customizations have been packaged and distributed as Drupal modules. This can be desirable when a customization delves into both the CMS and CRM functionality, but -- when a customization focuses only on CiviCRM -- Drupal modules are a drag: they need to be patched for CMS upgrades (D6/D7) as well as CRM upgrades (Civi 2.x/Civi 3.x), and they don't work with CiviCRM's other CMS's (Joomla and WordPress). This article introduces a proof-of-concept solution.

Can you help with the dishes?

Submitted by Eileen on March 26, 2012 - 00:04

Last week I wrote a blog about technical debt (comparing it to keeping a kitchen in order). I got a lot of feedback - most of it constructive. I'm going to resist belabouring the whole metaphor & limit this blog to a quick summary of some of the discussion that came out of it.

You owe me 3 tests, a function & a kitchen sink

Submitted by Eileen on March 19, 2012 - 03:03

Do you like to whinge about CiviCRM code? Have you sat through others doing having a rant? I've certainly done both. Being in the drupal world people often like to compare CiviCRM code with drupal & CiviCRM usually comes up a bit short. I think that's like comparing my kitchen with Bill Gate's kitchen. There are a few good reasons why my kitchen is not as nice as his. However, should I look at his kitchen (in a magazine) then I might glean a few good ideas that I could use in designing my own. (Copying the colour scheme would be in my budget :-))

Usability focus at the code sprint: an API with mustache edits in place and html fragments!

Submitted by xavier on March 3, 2012 - 01:41

Hi,

The code sprint in London has finished yesterday. It's always a pleasure to see old civi friends and meet new ones. Thanks to Michael and Katy to have organized it. Time for a quick update of what I've been working on with the most obscure title I could find. My focus has been on usuability to make civicrm easier and faster to use.
