It's 11pm in beautiful Truckee, CA, and the CiviCRM Book Sprint crew of twelve dedicated souls is still hard at work after a 10am start. We've come from across the US and around the globe to help update and improve the existing book, making it more useful for CiviCRM users, developers, implementers, and administrators.

By michal Filed under CiviCon, CiviCRMThis Thursday, the first ever CiviCon took place. After five years of constant development of the CiviCRM project, we felt it was definitely time to have an in-person gathering of CiviCRM community members, talk about past, plan the future and enjoy being together. It was really a great day.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRM, DrupalWe had another super awesome day at DrupalCon SF 2010 today. Was great to watch and hear Cricket from Jane Goodall Institude proclaim: "I love CiviCRM!" to the audience :) To keep the momentum going, we've scheduled two BoF sessions for today. Please check the BoF notice board for the rooms.

I recently had to modify CiviCRM to support a specific use case for a client. In this project I needed to allow the user to enter anything in the Individual Prefix field, rather than choosing from a list of options. The client in this case was very sensitive about presenting the individual's honorific precisely as the individual wants, so that "Dr.," "Rev. Dr.," and "Most Rt. Rev. Dr." should all be possible, along with anything else the user might want to enter.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRM, Drupal, JoomlaThe FSF just put out a press release recommending CiviCRM for non-profits. We've been working with the FSF very closely over the past 4 months to ensure that CiviCRM is licensing compliant (i.e. all the packages that we use and ship within CiviCRM are all compatible). This is an important milestone and a great endorsement for the project.

By hershel Filed under CiviEvent, CiviCRM, DrupalOverview
This is a brief introduction to how CiviCRM can be used for ticketing and attendance purposes, via custom Drupal modules. The concept is to provide printable tickets for event registrants, and to put a unique UPC code on each ticket; then at the event itself, to provide a way for the event management staff to scan the UPC codes and easily take attendance using those codes. Such a system is in place on one site and has been used successfully.

By yashodhaFiled under We are excited to announce that CiviCRM 3.1.4 has been released, and is now available for download. You can also try it out on our demo site. This release includes ~100 bug fixes/improvements to existing functionality. We recommend that sites currently running v3.1.3 or earlier upgrade to this version as soon as possible.
Notice for Sites Using Moneris Payment Processor
We were unable to obtain an appropriate GPL license for the Moneris plugin code, and therefore that file has been removed from our downloads. If your site uses Moneris for payment processing, you will need follow these directions to download the required code after upgrading your site to 3.1.4.

By Dave Greenberg Filed under CiviCRM, Meetups, TrainingHeading back from NTEN's national conference in Atlanta Saturday evening - both tired and stimulated. I was one of 1,500 non-profit "tech" folks (they come in all shapes and sizes btw). CiviCRM (and open source in generally) are clearly more on the radar at NTC each year - despite the bombardment of logos, banners and booths by the large commercial closed source vendors.
