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

I’ve decided to volunteer 20-25 hours of my time over the course of a month (January 04 - 31, 2021) to help a non-profit organization with website/database work (specifically Drupal/CiviCRM). I’m fluent in English and French and speak some Spanish and Dutch!

This is the first major, most requested and most anticipated release of CiviMobile app for all organizations that run CiviCRM on a Drupal 8 site. You asked for Drupal 8 compatible CiviMobile app — and we did it!

Before Corona was in our midst we communicated with our customers and community members in the old fashioned way: we organized small onsite meetups once or twice a year in the Netherlands where 15 to 20 people (mainly Dutch) turned up and we had an enjoyable time together exchanging knowledge and experience.

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.

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.

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:
