Howdy folks,
It's been a (long) long while since we last blogged about CiviHR here on the CiviCRM news feed, but 2017 has been a transformative year for the project and I'm really excited to share an update on where CiviHR has got to and where we are heading in 2018.
What is CiviHR?

Start out the new year right by learning best practices in CiviCRM! I am offering all of our "Fundamentals of CiviCRM" on-line classes during the month of January. We'll get started on Thursday, January 11th at 12 pm MT with the Fundamentals of Contact Management. The remaining weeks will focus on Membership, Events and Contributions, with a 2-hour session on each module.
Welcome to the December core team update - special holiday edition. There's lots of goodies under the tree and we can't wait for you to open them.

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.
