RedHen CRM is an open source CRM build natively in Drupal 7.x Check out the project page on Drupal.org to download the code and contribute to development, documentation, and QA via the ticket queue: http://drupal.org/project/redhen.
This group has been created to track requirements and document features - as well as to build community around the project.
March 3, 2012 update: ThinkShout is very much actively engaged in the development of RedHen right now for 3 clients. For simplicity, we're currently tracking development in a private Chili project, with code mirrored to Drupal.org. Once we have a stable base, we'll start publishing releases and more actively track development on D.O. In the meantime, please follow our work by checking out the code in Drupal's git repos.
San Francisco CiviCRM Meetup - June 12th, 2012
Join us on June 12 to learn how CiviCRM can help your organization fundraise. We'll be discussing best practices for raising money and maintaining donor relations with CiviCRM. Whether you're starting a new organization or consider yourself an experienced fundraiser, we'd love get your input. Stick around for a brainstorm about how CiviCRM can be improved to make fundraising easier for you.

CRM Case study and BoFs at the NTC Drupal Day, April 3rd
Quick heads up that the state of CRM integrations and native CRM solutions in Drupal will be a hot topic at this year's NTC Drupal Day, April 3rd. This full-day gathering of nonprofit IT decision-makers interested in Drupal is described in more detail at:
CiviCon 2012 in San Francisco - April 2nd 2012
The CiviCRM team invites you to CiviCon 2012
CiviCon – the annual conference for CiviCRM developers, implementers, administrators and users – is happening in the San Francisco Bay Area on April 2nd. Early bird registration is just $75 and ends less than a month away on January 30th, so reserve your spot now.
CiviCon is the annual CiviCRM event bringing together the people who develop, design, implement, administer, and use CiviCRM. We'll have great speakers, breakout sessions and panels highlighting real-world examples of nonprofits growing and sustaining relationships using CiviCRM. Find out about the future of the platform through discussions with the core team. You'll have ample opportunity to ask questions, meet other users and developers, make valuable connections, and get involved in the community.

Hello, I would love to volunteer to help with this group. I have limited developer experience, but am learning now. I have a Master's of Project Management also. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do to help?
Thanks!
Two modules to potentially help the cause
(Excuse the cross-post. It looks like the discussion is moving to the "CRM" group - but that migration might take some time.)
Just wanted to toss out that ThinkShout's been working on two modules that might be interesting to folks looking at native CRM in Drupal 7.
Read moreAny CRM Pushers at PNW Drupal Summit?
Are any of you CRM gurus attending the Oct 14 PNW Summit meeting? I'm surprised to not see any proposed sessions related to CRM development/integration.
I'm involved in CRM integration for churches/nonprofits, initially using CiviCRM but want to hear from the voice of experience and see a comparison of strengths/weaknesses of the upcoming solutions (Red Hen, dropCRM, churches CRM, etc) vs established ones like CiviCRM. As a newcomer to the CRM discussion, I'm looking for a bird's eye view of what's happening.
Any chance of a meetup in Portland? Will CiviCRM have a presence?

Roadmap?
First off, it's very exciting to see this project. This has seemed like a glaring omission in the Drupal wheelhouse for a long time. For the project I'm currently developing, we've wanted a lightweight CRM system tightly integrated with Drupal from the beginning, so until this point we've been either had the option of using CiviCRM or building out something else that meets our needs.

CRM api?
Hi everyone :)
Great to see some new interest in building a Drupal-native CRM.
Have you seen the work that was done at DC Copenhagen on an API spec? You can find it in this group: http://groups.drupal.org/crm-api
I look forward to finding out more about the project!
Estimated Release Date?
I'm really excited about this project. This is exactly what's been needed for Drupal for a while -- something that can really be directly apart of Drupal, with the ability to expand it as needed or keep it simple.
Most of all right now, I'm eager to get something like this installed on our site. So, do the Maintainers have any idea of when this might be ready for at least alpha or beta release?
Read moreEngagement scores
At the DrupalCon Chicago RedHen BOF we discussed the importance of incorporating "engagement scores" in the CRM - particularly when leveraging the CRM for nonprofit and e-advocacy campaigns.
Below are some initial thoughts from Jeremy John at EchoDitto:
All,
Existing engagement score modules like Userpoints make pretty deep assumptions that the objects being acted upon are Drupal users.
So, we have a choice. Either patch Userpoints to allow for interaction with Contacts, or allow the integration of Contacts with Users, that is, map Contact to User.
