The things you learn! Bamboo: Speed of growth, strength and resilience
Grows to full height within just a few years. Providing the right conditions are available
Shallow, well anchored root systems. Allows capturing of maximum nutrients and water, prevents soil erosion
We’re growing a forest of bamboo. Relying too heavily on a small number of benevolent organisations is risky
Many diverse uses. From building to irrigation to musical instruments and more!
Needs regular water and nutrients. Prolonged periods of drought can cause plants to wilt, dry out and die
Susceptible to pests and diseases. If not dealt with, the forest will weaken and plants will fail to thrive and eventually die
Human actions. Taking more than being planted leading to deforestation
Improving the onboarding and nurturing process. Helping contributors to get started and grow within our community
Bringing the community together in person and online. We grow our community by making connections with each other, by working together on challenging problems, and having fun! We should come together as often as possible in meet-ups, conferences, events and socials in our local, regional and national communities. You can help!
Mautic 5.0-alpha will release ~30th June. Alpha releases are only for use in a test environment. There will be no upgrade path.
Mautic 5 has been a huge undertaking. Massive updates to underlying code, bringing us up to modern standards
It’s not all under-the-hood stu ! f Exciting new features coming soon to Mautic!
Building solid foundations for innovation. Mautic 5 rebuilds many parts of Mautic using modern coding standards
“ To be a successful [open source project] you don’t truly need millions. You don’t need millions of dollars or millions of [contributors], millions of [users] or millions of fans. You need only thousands of true fans who fully [support everything you do].
- Danny O’Brien
Financial support is growing (slowly). fi Developing a solid nancial base is central to Mautic’s future growth
Improved perks for corporate sponsors. fi Incentivising companies to support Mautic nancially
New community-driven governance model. Enabling clarity and active participation in decision making, leadership and governance
Helping people get started with Mautic. Free trial, with a percentage revenue share for conversions
Other miscellaneous revenue streams. • Swag shop revenues • MautiCon event pro ts • Ad-hoc advertising contracts • Income from one-time donations, project- speci c funding and other fundraising initiatives fi fi • Your ideas welcome!
Our community is a living, growing forest. It needs care, nurturing and support to enable it to grow
Building a diverse, well rooted base. Wider base of support, less burnout and dependence, more healthy ecosystem
Needs regular water and nutrients. We need to make sure we’re able to set up the conditions for Mautic to thrive
The health of our community is paramount. We must be good custodians of our community for our future generations to come
Creating an ecosystem based on generosity. Encouraging giving back more than you take, supporting and caring about our ecosystem
If we get this right, astronomical growth awaits us. How will you be playing your part?
