The team is super excited to announce that the second alpha release of CiviCRM 4.5 is now available for downloading AND you can try it out on the 4.5 sandbox site!

Has your constituency base increased more at the start of last year or this year? Is your organisation receiving more contributions on weekends or weekdays? Does your event has more participants than it had last year? I am pretty sure all of you must come across these questions and with the number of features CiviCRM offers the number of such question is very big.

This year we are hosting the CiviCRM User Summit (formerly known as CiviCamp) on Friday, September 12th in Washington, DC. This event is an excellent way to meet with fellow association and nonprofit users of CiviCRM and strengthen the nonprofit and CiviCRM communities. This one-day conference is filled with informational sessions from current nonprofit and association users as well as developers and implementers of CiviCRM.

Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research are recruiting a new CRM & Database manager. This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants a role which is more than managing data quality and flows. This role will be a key ambassador for our CiviCRM, and work with the Insight team to ensure our CiviCRM delivers the maximum benefit across the organisation.

I was accepted into the Google Summer of Code program this year to write the Drupal 8 integration modules for CiviCRM and work has progressed well so far. Drupal 8 is on track for a release this year and hopefully CiviCRM will be Drupal 8 ready about the time it goes final. In the course of this work I’ve taken up some strong opinions with how CiviCRM should orient itself in the future with regards to the CMSs it supports.
