Hi seven1m, BVCMS URL does not seem to be working and online references point to a product owned by touchpoint software, sold as a commercial service, not opensource or free software. I may be mistaken, but without a working URL it is impossible to tell. The only reference on Github I can still find, is an API project only.

Wow, that's wild! I guess they went closed source. I have removed BVCMS from the list. Thanks!

@pbilk thank you! I updated the StreamingLiveApp link, added CHUMS, and removed OneBody.

You're welcome. Do you have more sources or connections to other things open-source projects that could be great in a mission and tech context? Like AI, chatbots, evangelism? For my job I am working on collecting resources and this list was a good start.

Edit: Most of the below are out of date and half are non-existent (ie. only a README and a license).

Also possibly useful: https://github.com/topics/church-management?o=asc&s=updated

Great to see this list growing. Now that Elvanto has been bought by Tithley, even the commercial options for church administration seems to be shrinking :(
