Iam using drupal 5.10 and civicrm 2.0 on a server that I maintain. The server is running Scientific Linux 5.2 and I have compiled Gammu version 1.20.0 on it. http://www.gammu.org is "Free tools and software for cellular devices and phones". I can use it for sending SMS via a old cellular phone in my case an Sony Ericsson T290i connected with the usb cable DCU-11. I have set up Gammu to use an mysql db for reciving and sending sms.

The team has been working hard to fix issues/ bugs as well as quite a few improvement suggestions reported by the community - and a third beta release of CiviCRM 2.1 is now available for download on SourceForge. We strongly encourage folks to download and test the beta release and help improve the final product. So test 2.1 Sandbox out now.
My self-appointed job is to hangout around here and complain about how CiviCRM could be more like Drupal or better implemented with Drupal. Instead of banning me from the forums and IRC for being annoying, Lobo gave me blogging access. So I'm writing to share about my latest campaign to Druplify CiviCRM.
For several years there has been interest in integrating a virtual call centre or distributed phone bank capacity into CiviCRM. Rob Thorne did a proof of concept back in March 2007 tha was used a bit by a political party (http://cvdemo.torenware.com/). There has been a resugence of interest in recent months and weeks, with over 2 dozen posts and 2300 page views on a single forum thread.
We are excited to announce that the initial Alpha release of 2.1 is now available for download, AND to try out on our sandbox site. We're really excited about all the cool new features and improvements. Check out Dave's last blog for some highlights... or the 2.1 Roadmap for a more complete listing.
We strongly encourage folks to download and test the alpha release and help improve the final product. Upgrading to 2.1 requires a simultaneous upgrade of Drupal to 6.3, and we need test-drivers who can help us iron out any bleeps or burps that we haven't discovered in our own testing. You can contribute significantly to the project by testing the upgrade process against a copy of your 2.0 data, as well as running your regular tasks on an upgraded site.
The American Friends Service Committee, where I work, needs to sync some information between our CMS (which isn’t Drupal or Joomla for various reasons) and CiviCRM. The vendor we’re working with is writing custom additions to the CMS to handle our needs, and part of that process is creating a PHP library to connect to the REST API of CiviCRM. When we asked, the vendor was very willing to open source that library.
If you’re running a site using Joomla you’re no doubt aware that some things which appear to be straight forward with a Drupal base aren’t so easy. Both Joomla and Drupal have their strengths and weaknesses, I just happen to be a long way down the Joomla path.
A big issue for me was how do I restrict access to my site depending on memberships to a real world (non internet) organisation. All my members have an entry in the CiviCRM database but many will not have a CMS login. Out of the box there was no real way of achieving this without getting into LDAP territory.
We made few changes to default settings for New dedupe Now default dedupe rules settings are as follows
Fuzzy Rules for
Individual => First Name AND Last Name AND Email Organization => Organization Name OR Email Household => Household Name OR EmailStrict Rules for

Inserting the chart is as simple as you would be inserting an image

No need of server side coding
No need of JavaScript to code or view your chart
Any resolution of the chart with only a change in URL parameters
Greetings everyone,
My name is Jon and you'll be seeing quite a bit of me this summer. I was accepted into Google's Summer of Code and I'll be working with CiviCRM. My proposal, titled "CiviCRM: Aesthetics and Usability" is available at the above link (on the CiviCRM wiki).
Who am I? I am 29 years old and live in the Seattle, WA area. I am finishing coursework in Software Testing currently. I am very excited to be part of the CiviCRM team.
