* 2015-12-15
* No news. Should be done if we don't hear bad things back from the bank.
* CiviCRM
* 2015-12-15
* Would be nice to use it to manage our contacts, keeping track of donors and sponsors, sending out emails
more easily, etc.
* Some years ago we considered CiviCRM to manage the Friends of GNOME program. Why didn't it work back
then?
* After spending a lot of time with a consultant, it was said that it couldn't do what we wanted: we
needed subscription payments, and it couldn't handle unlimited subscription payments. Apparently, at the
time, everybody thought it was surprising that we'd need such a feature.
* A bit surprising, given that the FSF uses CiviCRM and has paid "membership cards" (thus subscriptions).
* CiviCRM probably changed a lot since we last looked at it.
* ACTION: Jeff to investigate the suitability in 2016
