The next phase of the CiviSchool project is collecting and maintaining all parent / student information online. This avoids the annual filling out forms work by the parents, and also the stuffing of envelopes by school staff during the summer and reentering all the information in the SIS when school starts.

We(NET Tuesday Taiwan) have a CiviCRM workshop since last August and had meetups for about 6-7 times. After Jimmy Huang came from CiviCon/Translation Sprint, we had a review meetup at 5/15 and gathered about 40 people from local NGOs.
What's the next? Due to limited resource, I think we need have 2~3 successful local case studies and empower ourselves to better support local NGOS.

At CiviCon SF 2010, we met the folks from Emotive LLC (chang and matthew b) who expressed an interest in helping scale CiviCRM and in specific help with building an import system that can handle large data sets.
I started discussing this with chang on the forums and IRC. You can read our forum thread here: http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/topic,13630.0.html
About 25 folks gathered at the Wikimedia Foundation offices last night for our May SF meetup. We had a good mix of new and experienced folks, representing both organizations and consultants.
We are excited to announce that CiviCRM 3.1.5 has been released, and is now available for download. You can also try it out on our demo site. This release includes 40 bug fixes/improvements to existing functionality. We recommend that sites currently running v3.1.4 or earlier upgrade to this version as soon as possible.

The first Toronto CiviCRM Meetup held at the RNAO headquarters near King St and University Ave last night was a great success.
There were 29 registrants and about that many attended. (It seems like the small number of regrets and no-shows were canceled out by non-registered people showing up!)
The past few weeks have been just an amazing ride through the CiviCRM universe. We've had some excellent training sessions, an awesome CiviCon and then the sprints which produced a nice new book and some major improvements to our translation process. We've also been spending a lot of time thinking about what we want to accomplish with CiviCRM 4.0.
Come to St Ethelburga's Centre for Peace and Reconciliation this Tuesday 1st of June for a real-life CiviCRM case study and to find out more about CiviCRM and how it can benefit your non profit organisation.
I am working on an import guide to help organizations match fields to CiviCRM's standard fieldsets. I noticed that the existing ERDs are pretty outdated. The new database schema is pretty large for one map so I decided to create a map for contacts.
