I've always been passionate about what non-profits and advocacy groups can achieve using technology. For me, CiviCRM shows an essential example of how non-profit and technology worlds can come together to provide real change - working as community, creating value for yourself, but also for others in non-profit sector.

Being part of the CiviCRM community is really something to shout about! Not only is CiviCRM an amazing software package, its designed for organisations that make a difference in the world. We help non-profits across the UK gain control of their data through the power of CiviCRM.

It is without a doubt the best piece of software I've ever worked with, and I'm constantly discovering cool new features. More recently I've been working on CiviMobile as part of a project for my course at University. I'm really looking forward to seeing this being used by organisations across the globe.

We work with non-profits to help them use and understand Civi. It's such an important tool for these organisations and it's great to see people using it in different and interesting ways. Using and working with Civi is made so much more fun and useful by the enthusiastic and talented community surrounding it.

CiviCRM has one of the most active and friendliest communities I have come across. From initial tentative forum posts I was encouraged into engaging more actively through IRC and directly with other groups & individuals and am now happy to count many community members as friends. I recently found an article on the web that said if you post a question about CiviCRM anywhere on the web Lobo will post an answer within a few hours. It often feels like that is true.

One of the most valuable way in which the community supports me is by allowing me to bounce my ideas around and often someone is able to suggest an approach which is better than mine.

Progressive Technology Project

http://progressivetech.org

The organizations we work with are experiencing the benefits of a robust tool that is
easy to use, supports their work, and allows them to collect and track data from various parts of their organization, such as membership, fundraising, communications, and organizing into a centralized database. CiviCRM as an open-source solution also allows us to nurture and build a user community to share and create a common vision of future features that would be useful to the community organizing field. Just two years after our pilot project, we're currently supporting 30 community organizing groups to use CiviCRM, and the community is steadily growing.

New releases provide a great opportunity to get involved in the CiviCRM documentation community. Many of the new and improved features in 4.1 are not yet reflected in the User and Administrator Guide, and Developer Guide. You can get an account to edit and update the books here.
 

Downloads

You can download the release from SourceForge. The filenames include the 4.1.0 labels, e.g. civicrm-4.1.0-drupal.tar.gz or civicrm-4.1.0-joomla.tar.gz or civicrm-4.1.0-wordpress.tar.gz. Make sure you're downloading the correct version: for Drupal or Joomla or WordPress.

  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 7
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Drupal 6
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Joomla 1.7/2.5
  • Install CiviCRM 4.1 on Wordpress 3.3

 

Upgrading to 4.1.0

The procedure for upgrading is described in following documents:

  • Upgrade Drupal 7 / CiviCRM 4.0 Sites to 4.1
  • Upgrade Drupal 6 / CiviCRM 3.x sites to 4.1
  • Upgrade Joomla Sites to 4.1
  • Upgrade WordPress Sites to 4.1 (from 4.1 alpha or beta)

We will continue to include automated upgrades for subsequent stable releases of 4.1 - so you should be able to upgrade your site easily over the course of the release cycle.
