🚀 Check out some of the cool stuff in the latest Tendenci version bump!

1️⃣ Region filter in the Memberships Member Quick List Report. Finding members just got easier with the new region filter option, thanks to the brilliant suggestion from @rob-hills!

2️⃣ Streamlined Event Registration Add-ons: We’ve enhanced the event registration process by removing checkboxes, adding helpful text, and automatically clearing quantities after processing. Woof woof!

3️⃣ Enhanced Event Experience: Attendees, good news! Now, if your Zoom meeting is set up for the event, the registration confirmation email features a direct “Join Zoom Meeting” link. You can use the QR code for event check-ins.

All of the code is located on GitHub. The ChangeLog serves as the repository where you can find all software versions and their corresponding details. Open Source also signifies that it requires a collective effort to make significant changes in the world. The TedenciDEV Team (the creative women-led team behind the software) holds immense respect for everyone contributing to the improvement of Tendenci software. We wouldn’t be here without you.

Sniff you later, fur-riends! Woof woof

BECAUSE PER USER AND ADMIN PRICING ENCOURAGES YOU NOT TO GROW YOUR ORGANIZATION

Ed Schipul and Tendenci

At Tendenci we don’t believe in charging by the user or admin. Tendenci is built on the concept of distributed authoring. There are multiple people on your board and many committee chairs. Shouldn’t each leader in your organization have the ability to post their own articles and manage their own events? Certainly! This sets us apart from other AMS options in the market, as we do not charge any admin or user fees because we want you to grow.

Leverage Tendenci, the only Open Source software solution that enables you to populate your CRM with prospective members, industry contacts, supporting partners, and existing members without worrying. Achieve maximum engagement through your Tendenci website, which offers affordable and transparent AMS options – specifically tailored for Non-Profits and Associations around the world.

Data Lakes for Smarter Associations

Open Source is Winning the Internet. Join us to be the BEST regardless of culture or country.

What is a “data lake”?

Data lake – it’s a big, partially structured and differently structured set of data from your association that you can use to answer interesting questions. Think of it like throwing everything in your pantry into one magical cauldron and it comes back with answers. Of course be careful what you ask, as SECURITY IS ALWAYS JOB 1! But it’s cool.

This is how AWS visualizes it:

Having been personally involved in politics, analytics, electrical engineering, programming, robotics, public relations and media strategy not to mention the whole entrepreneurship thing, I must to start with a warning; do NOT go overboard.

Luckily Tendenci as your AMS makes this a whole lot easier with all of the ways to import and export data (or your whole database.) And pretty much every report has a structured export as well, from custom forms, donations, event registrations, memberships, you name it. You have FULL ACCESS to YOUR DATA in both flat files and in the actual database schema. For example:

I like this quote from wipro:

If the data in a lake is not well curated, then it may turn into a data swamp, flooding an organization with information.

https://www.wipro.com/en-US/analytics/five-best-practices-to-keep-your-data-lake-healthy/

You can see more screen shots of the built in reporting within Tendenci. Yet let’s be realistic, you are integrating data from many sources and a Data Lake including but not limited to your data on Tendenci might be just the thing. Contact us for more, because we LOVE DATA!

And we’ve got over 20+ years of experience to back it up.

Why not make 2020 the banner year to grow your membership and donations? Because that’s what we THRIVE ON! YOUR SUCCESS!

Let’s remember Richard Stallman’s wise words

Why? Because Tendenci – The Open Source Association Management Software is open source and available to the world.

Richard Stallman asked himself a simple question. What does society need?

“What does society need? It needs information that is truly available to its citizens — for example, programs that people can read, fix, adapt, and improve, not just operate. But what software owners typically deliver is a black box that we can’t study or change. 

Society  also needs freedom. When a program has an owner, the users lose freedom to control part of their own lives.

And, above all, society needs to encourage the spirit of voluntary cooperation in its citizens. When software owners tell us that helping our neighbors in a natural way is “piracy”, they pollute our society’s civic spirit.

This is why we say that free software is a matter of freedom, not price.”

— Richard Stallman, Why Software Should Not Have Owners

Serious question: What differentiates Tendenci from all other AMS?

  1. Well, what other MAJOR AMS can you self deploy on the servers of your choice? In the data center of your choice? In the country of your choice? With the encryption and firewall restrictions of YOUR CHOICE. That’s just the beauty of open source.
  2. The price starts at zero. It. Is. Fully. Open Source. Here is a list of alternatives to Tendenci AMS (hint: almost all aren’t open). 
  3. We take security very serious. Tendenci is the strongest and most secure web-based software platform for NPO’s globally. We also understand there are no “perfect” or “completely secure” systems. But we do more than just try. Transparency is the key to Open Source AMS – no in-betweens. So there’s that. 
  4. Languages? Ok! You can translate your AMS into the language of your choice. Although, you might find someone has already done this for you – 70+ languages of them.   

OUR MISSION IS TO  CONNECT AND ORGANIZE THE WORLD’S PEOPLE. DO GOOD.
