As most of you are aware, we are doing a CiviCRM developer training in Melbourne. We are keen to do a meetup with CiviCRM users in Melbourne on April 21st at 6:00 pm on the second day of the training.
Continuing the database cleanup that we started with v2.0, we are planning to drop some of the unused fields from civicrm_address table.
CiviCRM v2.0 ERD
List of fields that will be dropped.
1. street_number 2. street_number_suffix 3. street_number_predirectional 4. street_name 5. street_type 6. street_number_postdirectional 7. street_unit 8. supplemental_address_3
To side-step the issue of users switching our demo installation to non-English languages and as a proof-of-concept for a possible future CiviCRM feature, we’ve implemented a ‘dynamic’ language switching – after logging in, check the demo’s dashboard (i.e., the ‘CiviCRM Home’ page) and look for the ‘Choose Language’ box in the top right.
UPDATE: We have discontinued our use of UserVoice as of 12/11/2008
We've been trying to figure out a good structured and fair way of getting user input. We were pointed to UserVoice.com by Greg Heller at NTEN. UserVoice seems a fairly simple Web 2.0 site which does exactly that. Hopefully it has a decent search / sort / categoization system to handle an expanding list of features.
It feels like 2008 is the year of CiviCRM training. Following in the heels of our Melbourne bootcamp is the CiviCRM webinar bought to you by Michelle Murrain and the good folks from NTEN.
Earlier today we pushed out v2.0.2 of CiviCRM. You can download it here. We have fixed approx 67 issues between 2.0.1 and 2.0.2 (this involved approx 170 commits). This brings us to a grand total of 504 issues resolved for the 2.0 series. We suspect (and hope) that the rate of bugs filed / issues fixed will slow down significantly for future 2.0.x releases.
Notes from the NTEN Nonprofit Technology Conference, New Orleans, March 19-21, 2008
Notes from the CiviCRM affinity group meeting and the CiviCRM lunch table discussion have links on the bottom of the page http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Presentations. Both meetings were very productive.
