Once a year our whole community gathers in one room, and this session is where we take stock together.
The Mautic Update is the Project Lead's annual account of how the project is really doing. We will walk through what has been released over the past twelve months and the work that made it possible, look transparently at our funding, our governance and the health of our contributor base, and set out the roadmap and the priorities I would like us to hold for the year ahead.
There is a wider story running alongside all of this. Organisations across Europe and beyond are rethinking what it means to depend on platforms they do not control, and marketing automation is one of the places that dependency has the biggest impact when it comes to customer data. I will talk about where Mautic sits in that shift, and what we need to do to position Mautic as the go-to solution.
Expect candour rather than a highlight reel, a clear picture of where we need help, and time to ask me whatever you want to know about the direction we are taking.
Every year I stand up at our conference and give an account of where Mautic is. This year that account feels more important than most.
I will look back at what our community has shipped over the past twelve months, what we have learned along the way, and what it has actually taken to keep an independent open source project standing. I will be talking candid ly and transparently about our funding and our sustainability, because a project stewarded by its community is only as resilient as the people and organisations willing to hold it up.
We will also look outward. More organisations are questioning what it really costs to hand their marketing data to someone else, and Mautic sits at the heart of that conversation. I will share where I think our opportunity lies, and what we need to build to meet it.
Then we look forward, to the roadmap and the priorities I would like us to focus on together over the coming year.
Whether you use Mautic, build with it, or contribute to it, come and hear where we are heading, and find me afterwards to chat about anything you think we have missed.
