If you were thinking of participating in the proposed Philadelphia Boot Camp, tomorrow is your last day to let us know (by sending an email to me - dave at civicrm dot org). We are still a few folks short of the number we need to run the camp - so if we don't hear from you tomorrow - we'll have to cancel this session. We're still planning to hold another camp in the fall on the West Coast - details to follow - but feel free to drop me an email if you're interested in that session.

par lobo sujet CiviCRM, JoomlaWe've had the ability to add one/more CiviCRM Profiles to the drupal registration page since the first release (thanx to the flexibility of Drupal hooks). This was not possible in Joomla 1.0.x and we hoped the 1.5.x series might help solve this issue and be more open. While Joomla 1.5 is a major step forward in multiple aspects, it did not address this issue. So to some extent we were stuck. I was hoping for someone in the community to step up and do the needful.

With Blackbaud's acquisition of Kintera, there has been some talk of what this means for the nonprofit sector. This along with Convio's acquistion of GetActive last year reduces the options available for the medium-large size NPO's. This is not a bad thing for us, since it makes open source software like Joomla, Drupal and CiviCRM a more attractive option.
On that line, I started thinking about some of the big holes in the CiviCRM feature set / ecosystem. Here's my current list:

So while doing the custom data hook, CRM-1594, I also implemented a hook for setting the default values of a 'Form' in CiviCRM, CRM-3176. So now we have a defaults and validate hook for the form object. The two missing hooks are for buildQuickForm and postProcess, which I'm planning to implement in the next couple of days. This coupled with template customization will allow developers to inject form elements and save them to the database (similar to drupal hook_form_alter). I'm also planning to implement the ACL improvements as an ACL related hook (along with a sample implementation). These new features should give CiviCRM developers more power and flexibility in tailoring CiviCRM to their specific needs without hacking core.

par michaelmcandrew sujet CiviCRMThe next meet up for the UK usergroup will be at Drupal for NGOs, an event organised by Rob Purdie of Important Projects on Tuesday 10 June from 6pm-8pm. It's a Drupal as opposed to CiviCRM focused event, but there should be lots of overlap.

par lobo sujet Architecture, CiviCRMWith the new custom data model in 2.0, it seemed a good time to allow developers to add columns to a custom group that are computed rather than entered. Some examples of this is computing the GPA of a student given the student's individual grades, computing the age of a contact given his/her birthday. This has been an outstanding issue, CRM-1594, for quite some time.

par rat79 sujet CiviCRMGreetings everyone,
My name is Jon and you'll be seeing quite a bit of me this summer. I was accepted into Google's Summer of Code and I'll be working with CiviCRM. My proposal, titled "CiviCRM: Aesthetics and Usability" is available at the above link (on the CiviCRM wiki).
Who am I? I am 29 years old and live in the Seattle, WA area. I am finishing coursework in Software Testing currently. I am very excited to be part of the CiviCRM team.

par Andrew Clarke sujet CiviCaseHere's a description I first wrote a few months ago when I was tossing back and forth ideas to build this kind of system in a different context. I've adapted it a bit to suit the current terminology. I originally posted it in the forum, which is where I'd invite you to put your comments.
A case management system is basically a big table of activities, which come from various sources. The sources might include:
humans entering them into a web form
