Community Team update

The primary focus in the Community Team has been supporting the Brazilian Community with the upcoming Mautic Conference South America. It’s shaping up to be a great event, with speakers from the Mautic Community and the wider Marketing industry.

The event will feature a full day of conference, followed by a full Community Day where there will be opportunities to get involved in giving back to the Mautic project across the four teams.

We hope to see you there!

Education Team update 

Season of Docs project update

We are coming to the end of the Season of Docs project and Favour Chibueze has been doing a fantastic job of moving our documentation over to Read the Docs and getting it updated to provide a more comprehensive overview.

For a sneak peek, you can head over to https://mautic-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. When the project is complete, we will replace https://docs.mautic.org with the new documentation.

We are also in the process of setting up the facility to translate the documentation with Transifex - watch this space!

Marketing Team update

Pitch Deck

Work is getting started on completing the Mautic Pitch Deck - a resource that the Marketing Team are creating to help people share what Mautic is and to support them in successfully pitching Mautic for projects.

We welcome any case studies that you might be willing to share - please use this template and send it to [email protected] or share in #t-marketing on Slack. Likewise if you would like to get involved in this project, please let us know!

Once the pitch deck is created we will work with our international community to make it available in other languages.

2023/4 schedule

We are currently planning out our marketing strategy for the coming year, including events where we want Mautic to have a presence.

Do you know of events where you think we should be represented? Would you like support to represent Mautic at an event local to you? Please let us know! 

Would you like to help promote Mautic at events? We have several events coming up where we need help to staff a stand, to submit talks about Mautic, and more. Drop into #t-marketing and let’s chat!

Product Team update

4.4.x releases

The Product Team continues to make monthly releases with bug fixes - a big thank you to the growing number of people who are joining us in the Open Source Friday sprints. If you have a bit of time on a Friday, why not help us by testing new features and bug fixes, or working on fixes for reported issues?

We have also recently shared an update on the timelines for our next major release, Mautic 5.0, which we are aiming to release at the beginning of 2023.

Community Sprint

In October we joined the Contribution Day at DrupalCon Prague to hold a Mautic Community Sprint. We had contributors across the Product and Education team, and made great progress on some blockers with Mautic 5, and also with translating several of the Knowledgebase articles into German.

Community sprints are a really great way to get involved with Mautic, so if you would like to organize one in your local area or join one of our existing events I highly encourage you to jump right in!

Conclusion

It’s great to see continuing growth in contributions across the teams in the community, with our focus on the Year of the Contributor helping to improve our processes and workflows. I’m really looking forward to meeting our Brazilian community next week in Sao Paulo for Mautic Conference South America where we are going to be running a whole day of contribution, so watch out for a big spike in contributions next quarter!
