This camp is now confirmed. The dates are Oct 13th / 14th. Follow up blog post here
Following the lead from our friends at Ubercart with Ubercamp, we figured having CiviCamp might not be a bad idea. We suspect that doing it around BADCamp will give folks the opportunity who are traveling to combine two unconferences in one visit.
Proposed Dates
BADCamp is schedule for Oct 11/12, CiviCamp will be held on Oct 13/14.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMWe've been getting a few favorable reviews recently. Some of the ones that we've found are:

By shot Filed under Internationalization and LocalizationAs my Google Summer of Code project went past its midterm evaluations, I’m happy to report that the core of the multilingualisation mechanism will be a part of the upcoming CiviCRM 2.1 release.
For CiviCRM 2.1, the multilingual support will be rather basic, but still quite usable. You’ll be able to add language switching to you CiviCRM install, and once you switch from one language to another, certain fields will be able to have different values.

By michaelmcandrew Filed under CiviCRMYesterday afternoon the CiviCRM UK usergroup got together for their first proper meeting in Bristol. It was a great chance to meet other users in the UK and be involved in interesting discussion about how we use - and want to use - CiviCRM. It was also nice to go to the dockside afterwards, catch the last of the sun, and watch hot air balloons flying over the city (though at that point, the discussion did move on from constituent relation management).

By Dave Greenberg Filed under Drupal, JoomlaThe 2.1 release hits code freeze this week - and we're really excited about all the cool new features and improvements. For folks who haven't been following progress on the release with "baited breath" - some highlights:
Joomla 1.5 and Drupal 6 compatibility
Contribution Pledges (back-office and self-service)
Multi-language / single site support (with thanks to Google Summer of Code and the Joomla team)

By lobo Filed under Architecture, CiviCRMIntegrating CiviCRM with an email client (specifically Outlook) has been a long requested feature. Unfortunately we dont really have any internal windows expertise to make this happen (for now). For now, we've built some code for the HRD project that attaches incoming email as an activity to the contact record of emails that are in the from / to / cc / bcc fields (we create a contact record if not found)

By shotFiled under One of the issues to solve when implementing the view-based approach described in my previous post on the topic is how to make the current codebase be aware of when to use a view and when to keep operating on a table.

By Dave GreenbergFiled under I'm excited to report that a pretty full-featured 'phase 1' set of Pledge functionality is well on it's way to being completed and will be a part of the 2.1 release. This will fill in a significant hole in the overall CiviCRM feature-set.
Phase 1 will include the following functionality:
Record pledges received from contributors. This includes pledges for a one-time gift and pledges with regular payments spread out over a period of time.
Send pledge acknowledgments with payment schedules.
Generate payment schedules for multi-payment pledges.

By michaelmcandrew Filed under CiviCRMNext meet up for the UK usergroup will be at the Create Centre in Bristol on Tuesday 22nd July, 4-6pm. Thanks to Dave Moreton, Circle Interactive, and and Sean Kenny, VOSCUR, for kindly organising and donating the venue. We're keeping the agenda open and attendee led so it is of maximum use: we'll start with introductions and a couple of short presentations (volunteers, anyone?), and then follow with an open discussion/round table.

By speleo Filed under JoomlaIf you’re running a site using Joomla you’re no doubt aware that some things which appear to be straight forward with a Drupal base aren’t so easy. Both Joomla and Drupal have their strengths and weaknesses, I just happen to be a long way down the Joomla path.
A big issue for me was how do I restrict access to my site depending on memberships to a real world (non internet) organisation. All my members have an entry in the CiviCRM database but many will not have a CMS login. Out of the box there was no real way of achieving this without getting into LDAP territory.
