[sudo-discuss] looking for alternative to sudo humans for membership management

[Patrik D'haeseleer]

Hi all,

It might be time to look for alternatives to the sudo-humans software that
both CCL and sudo room depend on for signing up and tracking members.
Sudo-humans <https://github.com/sudoroom/sudo-humans> is still missing some
very basic must-have features (like notifying anyone that someone's credit
card is bouncing, or that a new member signed up!), and  the code seems
fairly unmaintainable now that the initial author has left...

I've seen both CiviCRM <https://civicrm.org/>and Odoo
<https://github.com/odoo/odoo> suggested as well-developed and
well-maintained Open Source solutions. Several of the hackerspaces in the
Nation of Makers network seemed to be switching towards Odoo, for example.

Does anyone have experience with CiviCRM, or Oboo, or want to help us
explore our best options? Please pitch in, and help us decide! It would be
great if CCL and Sudo could move together to a new platform.

Here's some resources that may be useful:
