CiviCooP just received it's yearly bookkeeping report and as it turns out there is still some money left after all CiviCooP participants got paid for their work and our costs (marketing, website, CiviCRM partnership, community, administration) are paid. So we decided to donate the rest (roughly about 2000 euro) to the CiviCRM community. Speaking to Michael McAndrew and Dave Greenberg we will contribute to the Continuous Integration project, which is pretty technical so hard to fund. And we as a community will all benefit because the testing process will improve! If you want to know more about the Continuous Integration project, speak to Dave Greenberg or Tim Otten.

CiviCooP was set up as a non-profit vehicle to work together as community members on bigger projects and to be able to offer continous support with a combined helpdesk. In the last year we have been pretty succesful with some bigger projects, and we hope some of them will come to CiviCon London to tell the community about their experiences. As CiviCooP we do contribute to the CiviCRM community as partners and as silver sponsors of CiviCon. Being able to provide more continuity and stable quality to our customers will continue to be our main drive. And it is also really nice that we as CiviCooP members can earn our daily bread in this way, and some butter and cheese too! We can only do this if CiviCRM as a software project continues to thrive, so for us it makes sense to redirect our additional profit back to the community.
