DEVELOPER AND IMPLEMENTER
Developer, Implementor
Réseau Koumbit
As non-profit consultants working for non-profit organizations, we found CiviCRM to be particularly well suited to answer the common needs of activist associations, charities and other medium-sized groups. Based in Montréal, we've helped local and international organizations migrate to CiviCRM to manage their memberships, events, communications and fundraising campaigns. We empower our clients and assist them when they need us.

CiviCRM provides a vital tool whereby nonprofits and other social projects can implement strong contact-relationship management capabilities without high monthly fees. It also provides the integration and customization capabilities necessary to make such software useful in the complex, lived reality of doing social engagement work. Plus it continues to build the open source toolset made available to the Commons and grow the common good.

As developers for various OpenSource CRM applications, we learned a lot from CiviCRM on its scalability and ease of customization.
CiviCRM community is truly organic cultivating growth for users and developers.
We wish to continue learning with CiviCRM and to tackle future challenges with CiviCRM.

Administrator and End-user
CiviCRM is a powerful tool that could be really useful for many non-profits in Mexico.
Unfortunately the community is very small in my country. I hope that in the next years the community expands around Latin America.

AustLII
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.

Electronic Frontier Foundation
I work for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. We switched to CiviCRM so that we could be sure that our membership data stays safe, secure, and private. Now we have control over our CRM and can customize it to work for our needs.

Oh, here's the answer to a question that came up about profiles
So the question about how can you have a page that people can click to go through from the mail you send allowing them to control which mailing lists they are on.
Here is the answer.
1. Create a profile.
2. Make sure to include at least the Contact/Email field and the Contact/Mailing Lists field. You may include other contact fields like First Name/Last Name if you'd like them to be able to edit that too.
3. After saving the contact it will have an "id". You'll need that.
4. Now construct a URL as follows:
http://example.org/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=15&id={contact.contact_id}&{contact.checksum}
where 15 is the id of your profile. The last bits with the curly braces can be gotten from the token popup I showed you. When you send your mailing it will tag the email to each recipient separately giving them access to edit their profile, but only using that URL (and I think only for a limited time, but not sure on that).
5. Finally put that URL into your email. Putting it into a standard footer works nicely! Remember for text just put it as is, for html put it in as a normal <a> tag (so the above URL becomes the href):
Have fun!
