Just added the ContactSegment extension to the extensions directory. It has been created for a specific problem but we tried to keep the base generic. The development was done by CiviCooP and funded by PUM Senior Experts for CiviCRM 4.4.

An Interview with emPower Central Coast

EmPower Central Coast is an organization that was created to help homeowners in the County of Santa Barbara make energy saving improvements to their homes. The emPower program facilitates home upgrade projects by making them more affordable through incentives, financing, qualified contractors and expert energy advice through visits from an “energy coach”. The organization recently partnered with the counties of Ventura and San Luis Obispo in Northern California to expand and serve homeowners in the tri-county region. EmPower chose to work with Cividesk as their service provider to implement and configure CiviCRM and provide training and continued technical support.

The team is super excited to announce that CiviCRM 4.6.11 is now available for downloading AND you can try it out on the 4.6 demo site.

The team is super excited to announce that the sixth beta release of CiviCRM 4.7 is now available for downloading AND you can try it out on the 4.7 sandbox site!

It’s amazing that we’re talking about CiviCRM in 2016. First, because it’s 2016… how time flies! And second, because we’re still pushing CiviCRM forward after 11 years! This year does mark a big change for CiviCRM, however.

The Core Team is very happy to announce that CiviCRM version 4.7 will be released on January 27th. Packed with both fixes and new improvements, 4.7 is the culmination of a lot of hard work and dedication from the community. If you’ve not demo’d it yet, check it out.
