Just a brief note to let you know that we will host CiviCooP's Coffee Corner coming Thursday,

For the first time in 2021 we are organizing a Virtual Meet Up in English. We hereby like to invite all CiviCRM users and people who are interested in CiviCRM, to our Webinar on 1 March.

For new users: * An introduction to CiviCRM with Demo* What does an implementation involve? * Current users share their experiences

We have some new CiviCRM videos you might want to check out.

Thanks to some work by MGlaman and KarinG and others, some integration with the Mink/Behat front-end testing framework is now available for you to use to write automated tests. Does it replace regular phpunit? No, you should still write regular tests too. But let's take a look at what it can add.

CiviCRM version 5.34.0 is now out and ready to download. This is a regular monthly release, and is the last one that will support php 7.1.

Upgrade now for the most stable CiviCRM experience: https://civicrm.org/download

During the Dutch/Flemish webinar we had a session in which we shared the extensions people used and what is useful about them. We enjoyed sharing this with each other and we thought this might be useful for the wider community so here is the list of extensions in no particular order:

I would like to organize a digital sprint in the week of 12 April 2021 to update the Developer Guide!

The Developer Guide is a really important information source for new contributors to our community, but also to experienced contributors when information changes. For newbies it is important that they can find information quickly, the documentation is understandable, there are some FAQ's or how-to guides.....I am sure most of us can think of some kind of improvement.

For WordPress sites using CiviCRM, the Caldera Forms plugin provides an excellent form builder which has been extensively integrated with CiviCRM functionality. Enabling you to build sites that go far beyond the "out of the box" form features of CiviCRM like: Make a Donation, Register for an Event, Sign-up to Mailing List.

Coleman Watts will lead a presentation on February 2nd at 4pm UTC (11am US Eastern Time) and provide an update on the latest developments on SearchKit. The presentation will touch on how Form Builder is being used in SearchKit and what the next steps are for both initiatives.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for the January 8 Campfire Chat to discuss successes from 2020, and plans for 2021. Special thanks to Corey Burger with the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition, and Neil Planchon with the CiviCRM Community Council for helping to organize the event.

Still going door-to-door with printed walk lists or waiting until petitions on your website receive public attention? So much for inefficient data collection.

On February 1st 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 March.

Skvare is pleased to announce a beta2 release of CiviCRM Entity 3.0. 

New in this release is support for Drupal 9! If you are considering a new website or upgrading your Drupal 7 site, the time is right to build with Drupal 9. We are building websites with CiviCRM, CiviCRM Entity and Drupal 9 now. 

With a bridge between Yootheme Pro and CiviCRM, publishing CiviCRM content on the front end of your Joomla! or WordPress website just got a lot easier!

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.

Come along if you are a new CiviCRM user, CivICRM developer, seasoned whinger or curious and armed with questions, then you are most welcome to join us.

This is a CiviCRM extension that enables a single Contribution page to have options for multiple recurring Contributions, each with different recurring payment schedules (frequency). Such that you can provide donation frequency options or membership renewal of daily, weekly, monthly or yearly with varying intervals.

Gift Aid is important for UK charities, and means millions of pounds extra go to the charity sector. Each time an eligible tax payer donates and forgets to tick the Gift Aid box, the charity misses out.

Over the years the GiftAid extension for CiviCRM has evolved and we are now reviewing it to ensure the process is easy for donors to make a declaration and to ensure that administrators can process GiftAid claims easily and with confidence.

A new Demo in Spanish is now available! Ixiam's team has been working hard to bring online a brand new CiviCRM Demo in Spanish.

Just a brief blog to let you know that we will host our second Coffee Corner coming Thursday,7th January from 09.30 - 10.30 hrs CET. 

Happy 2021! Join us for a virtual campfire chat to talk about successes from 2020, and plans for 2021.
