There has been a security release for CiviCRM. Upgrades are available for:

Duplicate contacts in your CRM are a source of trouble.

CiviCRM 5.79, which will be released around November 7 2024, will include a slightly different experience for administrators who wish to install extensions.

CiviCRM is designed especially for NGOs and non-profits' needs and doesn't let poor planning hold organizations back. With a new extension, CiviAppointment, CiviCRM users can easily create various types of meetings and book them for required contacts hassle-free.

With only three weeks to go, time is running out to book your place on the UK Sprint or Developer Training!

As always, our sprints are friendly and welcoming events that provide an opportunity for you to get to know the rest of the CiviCRM community and contribute back to the project at the same time. They are ideal for working on your pet project, learning about the latest developments in CiviCRM and building up your CiviCRM network.

CiviCRM Form Builder is a powerful and rapidly-evolving CiviCRM feature which has seen major advancements in each of the past several versions. This extension allows site builders to create custom forms to filter custom SearchKit searches, create simple contact creation forms, and much more.

and is that really a thing? 

I’ve noticed an increase in questions about security over the past year. While I would say that you can’t be too secure, I’m not as convinced that you can’t have too much “security”. The difference is that “being secure” is not the same as doing things in the name of “more security”.

Next year, CiviCRM will celebrate 20 years of existence! And while some things have changed dramatically in both the community and software, our mission has remained the same: to ensure that all organizations, regardless of size, budget or focus, can access a world-class CRM.

We are thrilled to announce the release of a new CiviCRM extension : the integration of the HelloAsso Checkout payment system.

In 10 weeks, an amazing/varied/mega-talented selection of the CiviCRM community will be enjoying the UK Sprint & Developer Training 2024.
