Drupal 8 Webform CiviCRM beta3 was released on October 12, 2020 - Webform CiviCRM is a powerful, flexible, user-friendly form builder for CiviCRM.

This is an open invitation for everyone in the Asia/Pacific region to join other Australians, New Zealanders etc. on-line to catch-up and discuss all things CiviCRM. If you are a CiviCRM user, developer or casual user with questions, then you are most welcome to join us.

Have you ever wanted to know how someone discovered your event registration or contribution page? Or have you wanted to give our special links to certain referral partners, board members, or fundraisers to track their efforts? CiviCRM partners Joinery HQ and Korlon have teamed up to release two extensions that help do just that.

Thanks to all the positive feedback on our first online MeetUp / Webinar - in Dutch - this month, we were encouraged to organise another Virtual MeetUp, this time in English. We hereby like to invite all CiviCRM users in NW Europe and people who are interested in CiviCRM, to our Webinar on 9 November. Join in, ask questions. share and discuss!

CiviCRM is available in over 25 languages, thanks for the many efforts of hundreds of translators around the world, but also from CiviCRM developers who have made sure that the texts in the software can be translated and adapted to differents regions.

Occasionally, a feature or a piece of text might not be in the correct language, usually because of a bug in how the code was written.

Important announcements and reminders:

Usually we organise meetups on a nice location to see and meet people, who are interested in CiviCRM, in real life. But thanks to Corona that was not possible this time. So we organised our first Webinar: one for Dutch speaking people from the Netherlands and Belgium. Over 30 people signed up! More than we expected, and more than we usually welcome at our ‘normal’ meetups.

For the past few weeks I have been sending a dev digest to the dev-civicrm mailing list at the end of each week (subscribe here). The dev digest is a mix of what's being worked on, what proposals people are looking for input on, what we need review or help with, or just whatever bubbles to the top.

In my previous blogpost on the Community Council and Sociocracy 3.0 (S3) I told you that we are studying and applying S3 to our community processes. In today’s little story I will focus on two important concepts in S3: driver and domain. And we are dying to get your feedback!

First of all, let me explain one aspect of our growing appreciation of S3 for our community:

On 5 October we have planned a CiviCRM Webinar for current users and interested parties. The rest of this blog is in Dutch, since the meetup / webinar is aimed at organisations in Belgium/Flanders and The Netherlands. For English speaking users: we will plan another webinar in November.

Does your professional association or non-profit organization have trouble with member retention?

If you are a business leader at a professional association or member-based organization, then our upcoming webinar is just for you!

SPF, DKIM, DMARC are all tools and various techniques use my email servers such as Google, Yahoo and others to determine the validity of an email that is sent to it. These have evolved over the course of the last few decades as the internet has evolved as well.

Skvare is the maintainer of International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA)’s Drupal 8 / CiviCRM website. IMBA is a network of local chapters, that provides resources to find local trails as well as information on building and protecting trails. The website utilizes CiviCRM integrated with Drupal 8 to allow local chapters to see membership reports, send emails to their members, and much much more. 

We had such plans for 2020 with a UK-based summit in wonderful Devon. Then the world turned upside down and we've all struggled to maintain the energy we had and drive that energy into some kind of virtual event that would give the community the same experience as our Summit/Sprint events do every October.

The mindshare we received following CiviMobile recent release of Agenda and Payment functionality, not only makes us feel grateful and committed to the app, but also anxious to keep up.
