Generally I think that the CiviCRM community works together in a very positive way. Whether on the forums, IRC or during the precious (but a bit too rare) occasions that we gather in the flesh - folks seem to treat each other with respect and patience.
However, as the community grows - it seems like it would be useful to follow the lead of several other successful open source communities and adopt a "Code of Conduct" which we can refer to and use to help maintain a supportive and collaborative atmosphere.

CiviCRM India team had an opportunity to attend the OWASP-conference, New Delhi. It was a two day conference but we - Kurund, Sunil & I decided to attend the second day training/workshops just to stay away from theoretical lectures. We landed in Delhi on day-1 evening to avoid any last minute rush. And we realized the temperature in Mumbai was much better and Delhi being a bit hot.

By mchapman2000 Filed under CiviCRM, DrupalMy self-appointed job is to hangout around here and complain about how CiviCRM could be more like Drupal or better implemented with Drupal. Instead of banning me from the forums and IRC for being annoying, Lobo gave me blogging access. So I'm writing to share about my latest campaign to Druplify CiviCRM.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMMost of you are aware that CiviCRM collects version, CMS and an MD5 hash of the base url from a CiviCRM install. We discussed this feature in the blog post: Extending the Version Check Mechanism in CiviCRM 2.0. The CiviCRM admin can decide not to participate in the ping back mechanism.
Here are some useful stats that we've collected using this feature: We've got close to 4000 installs running CiviCRM v2.0. Approx 66% are Drupal, 34% are Joomla. We have 133 installs testing various versions of 2.1 alpha, 98 Drupal / 35 Joomla.

By loboFiled under David Geilhufe (full disclosure: he is on the board of Social Source Foundation, the non-profit behind CiviCRM) has written a good article on What is Donor Management Software. The article discusses some of the potential reasons on the exclusion of CiviCRM from the list of software products.
