SuiteCRM is coming to Kickstarter in October
On October 1st 2014, SalesAgility are launching a Kickstarter campaign to raise £200,000 to accelerate the build of SuiteCRM 8.
We’re going to build SuiteCRM 8.
With your help, we’re going to do it quickly.
More than 100 enhancements are planned.
It will be completely open source and free.
Help us raise the funds to do it.
Why are we raising funds?
SuiteCRM is built using the profits that SalesAgility generates from our open source development and consulting work. We’re frequently very busy and that often means we can’t dedicate enough resource to building new functionality for SuiteCRM.
A successful Kickstarter campaign will fund a full-time team of software engineers, solution architects, support engineers and technical authors dedicated to SuiteCRM.
That means we can build faster and get new releases to you more rapidly.
Guarantee of Open Source SuiteCRM Forever
We’re going one step further to guarantee that SuiteCRM is and always will be an open source project.
We’re going to use some of the funds we raise to join a not-for-profit foundation and to put all the SuiteCRM code into the foundation.
All the best open source projects are organised like this. It’s your guarantee that SuiteCRM is open source and stays open source.
How you can help
There are a number of ways you can help:
Sponsor one of our rewards.
Every single contribution is valuable!!
We’ll be opening the campaign for previews later this month so you can see all of our fantastic rewards.
Spread the word
Tell your colleagues, your networks, your friends. The more people know about this, the greater the likelihood we can be successful and start building the next release of the world’s greatest open source CRM application.
