Pheph... after a brief respite its back to the CiviCRM marketing front here in the UK.

Version 1.0 of CiviHR has now been released, and is available for download at http://civicrm.org/extensions/civihr or alternatively Compucorp  are already offering a hosted version for organisations that do not want to install and maintain CiviHR themselves.

The features in this first release include:

* Work and Home Contact details

* Job Positions / Job Roles

* Emergency Contacts

And if you read anyway, I'm a bit of a drama queen and some of the mountains I describes are probably hills, at best.

Life Cycle UK is a small, innovative, UK charity which aims to transform lives and the environment through cycling. We run a range of practical services and projects designed to help people to overcome the barriers stopping them from cycling – anything from confidence boosting cycle training for adults who haven’t ridden a bike for 20 years and want to ditch the car and cycle to work – to a range of "inclusive cycling" projects which target specific disadvantaged groups.

The CiviCRM community of developers and partners are proud to announce the stable release of CiviCRM 4.4 - the fastest and most powerful version yet. Download it now.
