Exciting Tendenci software updates!

Yes to a software upgrade! Developers, please ensure that your Tendenci project(s) are upgraded to the latest version. Tendenci 14.8.2 [2024-02-21].

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.

As featured in Associations Now – Tech Talk: What Can Open Source Do For You

A few days ago we were featured in Associations Now. Learn more on What Can Open Source Do For You, as our president Nicole Davis talks about Tendenci and the global community of developers behind the code.

From the article Tech Talk: What Can Open Source Do for You

The capability of choice. Because you have direct access to open-source code, you can modify it to your needs. The result: a customized platform unique to your organization, without the price tag of a custom-built solution. From there, it can be modified to integrate with other platforms, including those recommended by the original open-source developers. “Every client is unique, and thus they each have unique needs and desires for their websites,” Davis says. “The choice is in their hands.”

Enjoy and cheers to softwares built on community!

We want to help your organization succeed on the web.

Tendenci Celebrating Twenty-three Marvelous Years. Graphic image designed by Team Tendenci.
https://www.tendenci.com/news/tendenci-celebrates-twenty-three-years/

This week our team at Tendenci is celebrating twenty-three marvelous years of serving the world’s people! So, cheers to our clients and to the Open Source Tendenci Community! Our success is yours. Your success is ours. 

Twenty-three years ago, our Founder and CEO Ed Schipul started this wonderful company which was first known as Schipul The Web Marketing Company and today, with a broader global vision, is known as Tendenci – The Open Source AMS. 

We would like to take this moment and express that we understand we are living through uncertain times due to the coronavirus pandemic, which has brought us all a deep economical shock. And it is especially in times like this, everyone needs to unite. 

Nothing is more satisfying to us than to continue to help organizations reach the far corners of the world, even through our hardest times.

Yes, we are all being challenged, but crushing coronavirus uncertainty is a must. And restoring the confidence of nonprofits and associations is our mutual goal. Greatfully, Tendenci software – being open source is the advantage we hold. Proudly. 

Building on last year’s message from Founder and CEO Ed Schipul, we would like to reinforce our message – thankfulness is more important than ever before.

Happy Twenty-three Marvelous Years!

With Love,

Tendenci
