Almost 10 days have passed since the Melbourne Developer Boot Camp, but the feeling of being part of an enthusiastic and growing community of CiviCRMers "down under" is still strong.

Lobo and I woke up at 5:30am (ouch) today to conduct the CiviCRM Webinar. A dark and stormy morning in New Zealand - but evidently a good time for the Webinar (11am PDT) - as we had an awesome turnout (40+ folks registered).
The session was billed as in introduction to CiviCRM - so we spent most of the time describing the key features and components (contributions, memberships, event registration, etc.). In order to give folks a better idea of CiviCRM in Action - I created a separate slide-show with screenshots of CiviCRM pages from a variety of live sites...
User registration with CiviCRM profiles - from Amnesty International
Multiple online contribution pages (campaign-specific) - from The Conservation Fund
Membership signup - from NYAMA
Event listing and registration - from The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research
Searchable South African NGO eirectory - from SangoNet

By loboFiled under A few members of the CiviCRM core team (dave, yashodha, michal and kurund) are visiting us in Nelson, NZ. We get together a couple of times a year which is quite helpful when we all return to various parts of the globe. This also gives the team a chance to visit and explore new places.

By shot Filed under CiviCRMAs hinted previously, I’ve been working on dedupe improvements for CiviCRM 2.1. The first thing I wanted to handle is to move as much of the dedupe search from the PHP code to the database side.
I created a wiki page describing the plan; it would be great if any interested parties gave it a read and commented. Thanks!

By shot Filed under Internationalization and LocalizationCiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management system used by NGOs and advocacy groups (like Amnesty International, Wikimedia Foundation or the Joomla! and Drupal projects) all over the world. Judging by the number of community-contributed and -maintained translations and civicrm.org statistics, CiviCRM installations exist in over twenty languages using various alphabets (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, Chinese).
