Come meet others from the Melbourne Area who are interested in, using or developing for CiviCRM!
Meetup AgendaMeet and Greet - just a casual pre-christmas drink to see the year out, and find out what people might want to do in 2018. How often to meet, format etc.
Let's meet at The Posty (http://www.theposty.com.au) in Richmond, 90 Swan Street at 6PM. (Depending on numbers, 2nd option is The Precinct (http://www.precincthotel.com.au) if busy)
During the month of November, we made a concerted effort to stabilize the CiviCRM-Mosaico extension -- addressing several bugs, installation issues, missing features, and testing processes. I'm happy to announce a new beta releases of the Mosaico and FlexMailer extensions for CiviCRM. The updates include ~160 commits from ~15 contributors.
We had a scenario where client runs a cluster of events, and folk sign up for these, and usually the registrants signs up for all events, but then they might invite mum to the Dinner, and brother John to the Talk, etc etc.
We wanted to achieve this on a single form with a single payment. We explored both CiviCart and Drupal Commerce but in the end concluded we could achieve this in a much lighter way with good old webforms.
CiviCRM will have a booth at FOSDEM 2018, the biggest European open source conference.
FOSDEM is a great opportunity to promote CiviCRM and meet other members this big free and open source family. With over 8000 participants, it is really a huge event.
Our booth will be in building K (level 2), and we will share the room with projects like Mozilla, Jenkins, Eclipse, Apache, Google Summer of Code...
Learn best practices for creating and adding custom fields to CiviCRM to store information unique to your organization in a systemized and functional way. We will then cover the steps to gather this information directly from your constituents on-line through your website by adding a custom field to a profile and including the profile in an on-line page. We'll also explore other uses for profiles in CiviCRM in this 2-hour training session.
With over 60 people registered for the conference, CiviCRM's first ever conference in Australia, CiviCon Canberra 2017 has been a huge success!
Sessions recorded and on YouTube
Two months ago, I launched a Make It Happen campaign to build a System Administrator Guide with the goal of migrating the installation, setup, and upgrade documentation out of the wiki and into a beautiful guide on our new documentation platform. Amazingly, the MIH campaign reached its $2,000 USD minimum in only 4 days — which meant I could get to work right away!
With a clear roadmap towards improved CiviCRM experience, Agiliway team keeps aligning CiviCRM software capabilities with an end-user working environment. The newly released CiviCalendar extension is our most recent solution and an absolutely necessary stop. From now on CiviCRM users can easily visualize their daily, weekly and monthly activities within CiviCRM.
Today, Skvare has released a new version of CiviCRM Entity, 2.0-beta11. This release contains a new feature, an admin configuration page which allows site administrators to disable exposure of entity types to Drupal.
