Hi Allen,
I spoke with the author of the Broke Spoke application several times to release his source code so that it could become a community effort.
Positive Spin and Broke Spoke are similar in that we are both volunteer run. We forked Austin Yellow Bike Project's YBDB in 2014, and have been adding improvements and features for several years now that play well with volunteer end users, which includes a simple CRM. There are always improvements that could be made. If more coders from the Bike Collective community were involved, that would happen much faster. What usually happens is that Community Bike shops create their own software specific to their own needs. With our YBDB fork the objective has always been to build an application that is useful for a wide spectrum of Community Bike Shops, not just for us.
I will be in Lexington this Thanksgiving if you want to get together to talk.

All: At Broke Spoke we have been using a custom database application to keep up with volunteer hours, sweat equity bike and parts sales. It works reasonably well, but like most software that a single individual creates, customer support is only good as long as the volunteer that created it is still around. We are looking at other options like Salesforce for a CRM. Does anyone have any recommendations?
