- 2015-12-01

- Still waiting to hear from bank if there are issues; no news is good news.
- 2015-12-15

- 2015-12-01
- CiviCRM
- 2015-12-15
- Would be nice to use it to manage our contacts, keeping track of donors and sponsors, sending out emails more easily, etc.
- Some years ago we considered CiviCRM to manage the Friends of GNOME program. Why didn't it work back then?
- After spending a lot of time with a consultant, it was said that it couldn't do what we wanted: we needed subscription payments, and it couldn't handle unlimited subscription payments. Apparently, at the time, everybody thought it was surprising that we'd need such a feature.
- A bit surprising, given that the FSF uses CiviCRM and has paid "membership cards" (thus subscriptions).
- CiviCRM probably changed a lot since we last looked at it.
- ACTION: Jeff to investigate the suitability in 2016
