CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi all,

Next stop for the UK usergroup is Bristol, on Tuesday 22 July.   See this blog post http://civicrm.org/node/390 for full details.

Use this thread to let people know what you would like to talk about on the day.

I'd like to talk about what functionality could be added to CiviCRM to make it better for the UK non-profit audience specifically.  Or to put it another way, are there any ways that UK based users could work together on functionality improvements that would benefit us collectively.

I'm also interested in how to map UK civicrm use and how to connect developers and customers locally.

How about anyone else?

PS.  Check out the shiny new forum!!

I will try to get one of our admin workers along, who use civi all the time, although they all groaned when I asked them initially

Hi there,

There will be a few Drupal/Civi users there and you would be welcome to come along.

Alternatively, on the same day, there is a Drupal for NGOs meeting in London http://groups.drupal.org/node/12947 (bad timing, I know but we were limited by venue availability).  I went to that meeting last time and there were a few people interested in CiviCRM there - you might be lucky.

Bristol: a little further but definitely helpful.
London: easier to get to but without the strong CiviCRM focus. 

Think I should clarify the above.
Am in Herefordshire at present. Will be based in Colchester for next 10 days. Will be in London on Monday, and had some thoughts of staying overnight there and hence that opened up possibility of scooting out to Bristol on Tuesday to meet people I had failed to connect with this week.
Am very happy to talk about our quite extensive engagement with civiCRM - and to hear about how others are using it.

Yes - it would be great to see you there, Peter.

I had a chat with Paul Matthews from UWE a while back about an agenda and we agreed to keep it as open and user-led as possible.  We came up with this skeleton agenda.

1) Introductions
2) One or two short presentations
3) Open discussion based on people's interests and needs

Sean Kenny from VOSCUR has offered/agreed to do a quick presentation on how to make CiviCRM a living breathing part your organisation - implementing changes based on new organisational needs, including it in planning meetings, etc. - that will be very interesting.  Then we'll either have another presentation or go straight on to the discussion - either is great.

We may also have Skype available so that people who can't make it can join in virtually.  If that happens, then details will be here before the meeting.

OK then, see you all tomorrow!

Michael
