A few members of the CiviCRM core team (dave, yashodha, michal and kurund) are visiting us in Nelson, NZ. We get together a couple of times a year which is quite helpful when we all return to various parts of the globe. This also gives the team a chance to visit and explore new places.

The next NOSI/NTEN webinar will be on CiviCRM. The event is scheduled for April 29th, 11:00 am Pacific time. We'll be up bright and early and host this event from Nelson, NZ. We will give an overview of CiviCRM, examples of its use, and have lots of time for questions. Register on the NTEN Site. More details about the agenda can be found here.

As hinted previously, I’ve been working on dedupe improvements for CiviCRM 2.1. The first thing I wanted to handle is to move as much of the dedupe search from the PHP code to the database side.

I created a wiki page describing the plan; it would be great if any interested parties gave it a read and commented. Thanks!

CiviCRM is an open source constituent relationship management system used by NGOs and advocacy groups (like Amnesty International, Wikimedia Foundation or the Joomla! and Drupal projects) all over the world. Judging by the number of community-contributed and -maintained translations and civicrm.org statistics, CiviCRM installations exist in over twenty languages using various alphabets (Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic, Devanagari, Chinese).

Sunday 20th and Monday 21st April was CiviCRM Bootcamp in Melbourne - an excellent couple of days of training, discussion, and discovery.

Thanks to the wonderful people from Joomla! who took us under their Google Summer of Code umbrella and personal commitment from Wes Morgan, of Environment America (who will be mentoring on CiviCRM’s behalf), we’re very, very happy to announce that we have two student projects funded by Google this year!
