Has anyone looked at Salesforce.com that has offers 10 free licenses to NPO's as a possible CRM solution.

Just a thought ... I'm not involved in anyway with Salesforce.

Dear Board et al

Let me give an idea why some kind of CRM would be appropriate;
- finances are managed in a financial software environment like SAP
- code is managed in a SVN env like Trac
- collaboration is done in eg Google Docs
- relations are managed in a CRM
....however none are managed in a list !

It is probably a matter of dominant perspective or mental model ; if the 
majority of a community is financially/technically/commercially in background 
it tends to approach every problem with its own unique tool set. Unless a 
hammer is the only tool available....

Please let's treat the OSGeo relationship management as an important  enough 
theme. Unless outreach and promotion are not on the agenda any more. Doing 
document management in a SVN environment a little while ago was already bizar 
enough ;-)

Hi Steven,

I don’t think that might be another loads of managing different lists. The core 
lists are only two, previous attendees and sponsors lists, 11 lists are there 
at MailChimp.

Cheers,

I noticed that this conversation is taking place solely on Conference list so I 
have extended to Discussions to gain a wider range of opinion hopefully

I think it may be more work for FOSS4G LOCs and others to manage loads of 
different spreadsheet lists rather than maintaining one master database.

Hi Steven and all,

I know MailChimp is not for the CRM. However I believe the core part of the 
customer relation management doesn’t lie on the CRM SW but on interaction with 
customers, for us it means previous FOSS4G attendees and sponsors.

As a volunteer organisation I don’t think we have enough time and resources to 
manage another CRM SW - whether that is open source or proprietary.

So, how about just focusing on giving thanks and asking participation to 
OSGeo’s activities? It will not be so frequent. I believe introducing CRM SW 
could be another overkill.

Cheers,

MailChimp is not a CRM, it’s mailing software that works of lists that you 
upload. The challenge is maintaining the lists with any degree of granularity

I agree with Darrell that a proper CRM would be a great asset allowing us to 
develop a better understanding of conference delegates, list members etc and 
deliver more tailored marketing communications to them. There are open source 
solutions that we could deploy and hosted solutions that we could purchase.

I will stick my hand up to help (emphasis on help) with implementation if we 
decide to go ahead with a CRM

I’ve always maintained that OSGeo should maintain a CMS with sponsor contacts, 
conference attendees, etc.

We already have MailChimp account for managing previous global FOSS4G attendees 
and sponsors. It’s huge asset.

One it’s all in place, you just have to have a policy for deciding who gets 
access to what, which shouldn’t be that hard.

We may add new OSGeo sponsors there to MailChimp for managing all the thing in 
one place. And then we may set the access rule, maybe by Board?

But I was never able to get any traction on that.  *sigh*

To reduce any other additional jobs, I suggest to make the best of MailChimp as 
a platform for CRM(Customer Relation Management). I believe it’s about CRM not 
about spamming.

If sharing scope can be defined, that might also be nice.

For example,

1. email lists collected through global FOSS4Gs, that might be only shared to 
next global LOC.
2. email lists collected through regional FOSS4Gs, that might be only shared to 
next regional LOC.

By the way, Conference Committee, when will you add me to the conference 
committee members[1]? I have enough scars on my body to be added to your 
committee!

Hi All,

it would be good to get your thoughts on updating the FOSS4G Cookbook to
include a brief statement on email privacy.

Something along the lines of:

"by submitting your email address you consent to us sharing your details
