At this April's Meetup, Dave Greenberg and Donald Lobo from CiviCRM are coming to speak to us about CiviCRM + WordPress.
The CiviCRM team has for the last year been working on integrating their open source CRM solution with WordPress. There's a ton to be learned from their experience:
So if you're relatively technical and interested in general WordPress + XYZ integrations, this will be an excellent case study to learn from. If you're less technical and more customer focused, this will be a great way to learn about an integrated WordPress platform that does constituent tracking, fund-raising, memberships, event registration and more.
After an initial CiviCRM presentation we'll probably break into two groups -- one focused more on the "user" side of CiviCRM + WordPress, and one focused more on the technical side of how CiviCRM integrated their app with WordPress.
If you'd like to learn more about CiviCRM and/or demo CiviCRM + WordPress before the Meetup, please check out these links:
NOTE: April's Meetup will be our first in Automattic's beautiful new home on Hawthorne Lane! Wooooot! Please take note the address.

Interesting talk. Has anyone had any real-world success in setting this up on a Wordpress site? It stumped myself and my host's support. Not that hard to do admittedly, but I am curious to run the thing and we couldn't get it to log on to MySQL.

Sugar and Salesforce are far less open source friendly. http://en.wikipedia.o...

Looking forward to it. We (www.pubble.co) are building a Q&A plugin for Wordpress, and we'd love your feedback on how to make it connect with CiviCRM http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pubble-social-qa/

Looking forward to it.
I'm also looking for WordPress help on a personal project as well as possibly putting together a team of WordPress developers to target independent health professionals. I'll be looking for folks that could fit that description at the meetup, but I'm sure I won't be able to meet everyone who either qualifies or might be interested. If that's you, please feel free to contact me directly.
Thanks!

I decided to start Reno Motorcycle Riders Group because I wanted to be part of a group of people who enjoyed my passion... I was excited and nervous. Our group has grown by leaps and bounds. I never thought it would be this big.
