Last week, another one of excellent events organised by Aspiration happened in Zagreb. It was Open Translation Tools 2007 and it covered a variety of topics, starting from cultural aspects of both content and software localisation, through managing open communities, mapping translation and localisation tools and resources, also including machine translation mechanics. Detailed agenda and notes from sessions are ...
Read moreWe’re happy to announce that CiviCRM 2 will be licensed under the freshly-released GNU Affero General Public License Version 3.
The reasons why we went with the Affero GPL license since the beginning of CiviCRM are detailed on our License FAQs page, but the short of it is that the GNU GPL 2 license does not treat software distributed as a service the same way as it treats software distributed in other forms (notably, in binary). If CiviCRM was distributed under GNU GPL 2, anyone...
Read moreWe have slipped the code freeze release date by a week for CiviCRM 2.0 to Dec 10, 2007. At this point, we have not changed the other dates on the schedule. We are hoping to meet those dates, but this being the holidays and given our travel / consulting / camp schedule, we might slip the other dates by a week or two.
With regard to CMS requirements, we were hoping to see a final release of Drupal 6.0 and Joomla 1.5 by end of this year. At this time we do not expect to see a final release of either Drupal (which is in beta 3) or Joomla (which is in RC3). Based on our prior experiences...
Read moreA while ago, I gave a brief
preview of new CiviCRM's functionality in 2.0 on this blog. "Two-point-oh"
was a bit of a "wild dreams" back than - but it didn't really lasted
long when we got into the stage where this milestone version is behind
the door.
There we go, code freeze for CiviCRM 2.0 is scheduled in two weeks, and
it will contain some exciting new things. One of...
And it all began like normal Barcamp (like any other non-conference). As we all know, most of the developers are nocturnal, yet again CodeCampMumbai was no exception and started off schedule.
I am here with one of my colleagues(Deepak) to work on Facebook plugin for CiviCRM. Some initial specs on this feature:
Facebook Integration
Other interesting projects include lighting up bulb using web interface(PHP), Mapping and Adding Events on Google Map.
At around 12.00 pm we kicked off...
Read moreAs some of you are aware, we have an excellent development team in Mumbai, India (managed by Web Access). Open source in india is starting to get more traction and we'd like to play our part in moving this along at a faster rate :)
CodeCamp Mumbai is happening this weekend. They were looking for sponsors and a couple of our developers were attending, so it made sense for us to step up and help pay for the event. You can read more about it here
... Read moreWe (dave greenberg and lobo) will be running a two day Developer's Bootcamp in San Francisco on December 10-11. This will be a working session, during which we will work through one or more actual client projects with defined requirements and workflow - and design (and implement - if time) a solution. We will also be reviewing CiviCRM architecture from the point of view of component developers - using specifications for a potential new component as a springboard. We'll take this opportunity to make improve CiviCRM from an extension / plugin perspective
The Chicago Technology...
Read moreWe just updated the CiviCRM 2.0 wiki page with the release schedule. The wiki page has details on the features and changes coming in v2.0. v2.0 will ONLY support PHP5.2+, MySQL 5.0.x+ (later releases only), Drupal 6+ and Joomla 1.5+.
Here is the planned schedule:
The Conservation Fund is the nation's foremost environmental nonprofit dedicated to protecting America's most important landscapes and waterways for future generations. My company, Phase2 Technology, architected a robust online fundraising solution for the Fund that included Drupal and CiviCRM. Special attention was made to implementing the Drupal CMS from a...
Read moreThe CiviCRM developer team will be getting together in Mumbai, India from Jan 14 - Jan 28. If there are developers working on CiviCRM in that part of the world, interested in getting more involved and/or some code sprints, please get in touch with us via email.
We are still in the early stages of the planning process, and hence are quite flexible at this stage. We expect to be working on 2.1 at that stage. We'd love to meet and interact with developers in Mumbai and India working on open source technologies.
