Mautic has grown quite a bit since we first implemented the Mautic Community Governance Model in 2019. At our first ever Community Summit in Amsterdam that year, if you had told me that we would have increased our contributions tenfold within the next three years, I’d have had a hard time believing you. 

Saying thank you is a great way to recognise and appreciate the time people have spent making a contribution to an open source project, but how do you actually do it?

Another busy quarter has flown past, here’s a round-up of what’s been happening in the community!

Last weekend I had the great delight of welcoming a good friend to run a women’s day at the Ipswich Buddhist Centre. Suryadarshini hails originally from Canada but for many years has lived just up the road in Norwich.

Last weekend I headed over to Brussels on the Eurostar like hundreds of other open source enthusiasts, for the first in-person FOSDEM event since the global pandemic.

Yesterday I shared on my Instagram feed about having to switch all my training over to bike-based for cardio and lower body/core for strength training due to injury, so I wanted to share a few things I've learned along the way about preventing injuries from derailing your progress towards your goals.

Another quarter and another year has passed, and what a year it has been! Let’s review what’s happened over the last few months.

Often as an Open Source project grows there becomes a need to allocate funding resources to specific projects, teams or initiatives. It can be challenging to do this in an open and transparent way, effectively ring fencing the funds for specific purposes.

Here’s how we achieved this with Open Collective, some of the gotchas we encountered, and how it’s working out for us.
