CiviDay 2014 in Denver was for sure a resounding success!
With more than 55 registrants and a packed full-day program, everyone whether newcomer or experienced user learned a great deal about CiviCRM, networked with their peers, and got all their questions answered!
“CiviDay 2014” Meetup Hosted by Electronic Frontier Foundation San Francisco, CA 2014.01.29
With over 25 attendees, Portland, Oregon’s CiviDay event maxed out Free Geek's seating, creating a truly standing-room only event.
The CiviDay meetup in Berlin was organised by "Software für Engagierte e.V.", a german association of CiviCRM using organisations, who want to join forces in order to improve the localisation. And the event was a pretty good success: 12 participants representing 9 different organisations, most of them new to CiviCRM, showed up.
Last week we had a really inspiring meeting about fundraising Donor Journeys and CiviCRM in London. Or I should say we had an unconference (check …..) . It took me a while to get to writing this blogpost as times are a bit busy but here we are!
I think I’m safe in saying that CiviDay pretty much kicked of in Melbourne Australia (hopefully we just beat Sydney) and we had a small crowd, but mainly composed of new users which was great.
CiviDay is today, January 29th!
Welcome to the 2nd annual worldwide event for sharing this powerful community-driven platform. CiviCRM is relied on by thousands of organizations working to make a positive difference in the world.
Be a part of it.If there is a meetup in your local area, join in the fun. Never been to a meetup before? Even better - these events will be especially welcoming of first-timers.
Did that get your attention?
Unfortunately it's not as simple as just coming up with ideas and waiting for a check from Google. As a community, CiviCRM has to apply to even be part of the program. We are still looking for both more project ideas and more mentors to include in CiviCRM's application to be a mentoring organization in Google Summer of Code 2014.
Every new install of CiviCRM starts out fresh and clean, with only the built-in data fields. However, as every organisation has its own data needs, we often find ourselves adding more and more custom fields to this. This can easily start to clutter your contact views. An important way to avoid this and manage your custom data fields is to create relevant contact subtypes and assigning your custom data fields to those subtypes.
