I had the privilege of joining a spirited and diverse group of about 100 Joomla! users and developers from places near and far at last weekend's JoomlaDays West "un-conference". The conference was held at Google's "campus" in Mountain View - and was a "sold-out" event with all available spaces taken shortly after the conference was announced.

By Dave Greenberg Filed under CiviCRMAn excellent question was posted on the forum yesterday about how to modify a CiviCRM Profile screen. This prompted me to finally put together some documentation on the cool "customized templates" feature that was added in 1.7.

By Dave Greenberg Filed under CiviCRMThose of you who've been using CiviCRM for a while and/or following the progress of the project already know that there's never a dull moment around here. It's only a few days after the release of 1.7 stable - and we're well into work on the NEXT release (1.8).

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMCiviCRM v1.7 has been in beta for quite some time. We've had 1000+ downloads and hence a fair number of installs and upgrades. The rate of issues being filed has dropped significantly and we will push out a final release next week. As with other CiviCRM releases, we will periodically update the final release with critical bug fixes and security updates. We hope a longer beta period results in far fewer revisions.

By shot Filed under Architecture, Internationalization and LocalizationCiviCRM is localised into several languages and used by non-English communities around the world. Before it could be localised, though, it had to be internationalised – i.e., it had to be modified to make the localisation possible. My first assignment when working on CiviCRM was to take the English-only application, internationalise it and localise it to Polish.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMCiviCRM seems to be growing at a fairly nice pace with a good adoption rate in the community. In the run up to the presidential elections, quite a few of the democratic grassroots political campaigns have used Drupal / CiviCRM as their organizing and fund-raising platform.
