In order to meet the project budget requirements, unit testing and UX of the Elections extension CiviCRM - which replaces the equivalent functionality in MemberDB - were removed from the project scope. CiviCRM's user base is predominantly not for profit organisations, and some have similar voting requirements to Linux Australia - ie preferential run-off voting. Linux Australia's brief was to make the custom Elections extension available under an open source license so other organisations can benefit from the work that has been done in this space. Given the wider applicability of the Elections extension, we've started work on unit tests and UX improvements on our own time, and are reaching out to see if this is something that the community would support as a grant request. SPECIFICS OF THE GRANT REQUEST 1. Unit testing - unit testing allows us to implement assertions covering the Elections extension and ensure that they are validated as part of continuous integration and continuous development processes. This also allows the Elections extension to be more easily extended in the future to meet the needs of organisations with different voting requirements - and at a broader level helps the CiviCRM product to continue to grow in its usefulness and robustness. The unit tests themselves will be open sourced with the Elections extension. Grant request amount: $3,300 GST inc (24 hours x $137.50 hourly rate) 2. UX improvements - the default UX in CiviCRM is not user friendly. The election workflow process is quite complex, both from a user perspective and administrator perspective. One of the challenges not for profit organisations face is in encouraging members to vote, and by improving the UX of the Elections extension it will reduce complexity and make the process easier for members to understand. As a result, this will also reduce administrator time in managing elections as members can self-service more effectively.

As we all know when writing code we can regularly forget to put in unit tests for the code we have written. Having unit tests in this kind of extension will be crucial and important to allowing future development without likeness of breakage. Improving the UX will mean that more organisations are likely to use it and the users will massively benefit from a simpler user experience. The Greens more broadly have been strong supporters of the Open Source community, we aim to use open source software as much as possible and were co supporters of the first CiviCRM conference in Australia.

I am writing as someone who has been involved with CiviCRM for over 10 years and who is a merger and key contributor. Agileware have a strong history of code contribution within the CiviCRM open source project and are notable for the quality and quantity of their contributions and their collaborative approach. CiviCRM is used by over 10,000 not for profit organisations and many of these are likely to be interested in using this extension. In addition the CiviCRM community itself is looking to have elected advisory roles and would be interested in using this extension for that purpose.

We believe the timing for this is right and that the proposed solution provided by Agileware is solid. Likewise, we view Agileware as very strong partner with strong CiviCRM skillsts. We believe they are uniquely capable of taking on such an improvement. The CiviCRM Core Team just completed a 2 day governance summit with various partners from around the world, Agileware included. Relevant results include: 1. Given the current political environment around the world, we view voting/election capability in CiviCRM as an opportunity and a potentially significant improvement. 2. CiviCRM itself is shifting to an elected, governing body, and could therefore benefit from such capability. 3. CiviCRM as an open source software application has over 11,000 users worldwide and is seeing growth in its adoption by political parties/movements. Thank you for your consideration and for the work you do at Linux Australia. Sincerely, Josh Josh Gowans Project Manager CiviCRM -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
