On the third and last day of the Berlin sprint we had a little bit for everyone!
For all Implementers / DevOps / CiviCRM-Nerds, Björn and Thomas introduced and demonstrated an extension that facilitates both the initial import and continous updates of data from external sources e.g. csv-files.
Something that many of us love and appreciate about CiviCRM is that diversity and inclusion has a very high value for us as a community. That's why from time to time we deliberate how the language in and around CiviCRM can be made more inclusive and gender-sensitive. And sometimes there are very practical results, too – such as the gender self-identify extension, for example.
We get questions about importing contributions fairly often, so we thought we’d walk you through the steps we typically follow to ensure that the contributions are a) imported correctly and b) attached to the correct contacts. Does it take a bit longer? Perhaps – but we believe accuracy is well worth the few extra steps.
Yesterday the first CiviCAMP in Berlin finally came true after two Covid-related postponements. In spite of the camp's announcement being somewhat on short notice, some 75 peope showed up. We enjoyed 15 great sessions, met old and new friends and were all every excited to finally meet face to face again.

civix is a development tool. It generates code for extensions, providing a baseline for developers and hackers who want to improve and add onto CiviCRM.
This week we had a Form Builder and Search Kit sprint in Otterlo, The Netherlands. The aim of this sprint was about sharing knowledge and ideas around search kit and form builder.
Sharing, Sharing and Sharing...
We started with sharing use cases from clients from CiviCooP and civiservice.de. Christophe shared how CiviCRM is used at Mediwe. Coleman from the Core Team shared the story behind Search Kit and Form Builder.
