A big thank you to Peculiar C Umeh who has taken on the unenviable task of helping me to update the Open Startup Reporting spreadsheet each month!
Key points
- This month has seen more progress in signing up a new Community Tier member alongside two more individual members
- The expected increase in employment expenses due to a missed invoice in October along with the Airmeet renewal means expenses are higher than usual, but anticipated
- Mautic Conference India was a great success, with over 80 people joining the conference and over 30 coming together for the Community SprintÂ
Finances
Income
This month saw one further sponsorship for Mautic Conference India alongside a new Community Tier membership, and continuing monthly contributions from both Open Collective and GitHub Sponsors. There were two new individual members this month.
| Description | Amount |
|---|---|
| Sponsorship - Open Collective | $1,805 |
| Membership - Corporate | $1,200 |
| Sponsorship - Events | $750 |
| Membership - Individual | $200 |
| Sponsorship - GitHub Sponsors | $136 |

Expenditure
This month we had a double invoice from Open Source Collective for employment as predicted, as last month we noticed an old expense from October had not been approved and January's expense wasn't approved until February.
We would love some help with reviewing expenses in the Legal and Finance Team - if budgeting and finances are what makes you tick, be sure to join the #t-legal-finance on Slack and make yourself known!

Usage of Mautic
This month we are on track for a strong quarterly growth in downloads through the form on mautic.org, as you can see in the chart below showing only two months of the quarter represented.
We also see a continuing trend of growth in the number of websites that are deploying Mautic tracking, with over 1,000 new sites adding tracking this quarter so far. Next month we will see the full quarter's statistics which will be more useful as an overview.
Community Health
We do tend to see a growth in activity and engaged members/contributors when we host events like the Community Sprint and attend events, so it's not a surprise to find that represented in our monthly report. We're also seeing an uptick in traffic to the Mautic web sources as demonstrated below showing new users visiting the *.mautic.org web resources.
Traffic is starting to rebound when it comes to new users, we're also starting to use more event-based tracking to follow user journeys through the website and learn what features are getting more engagement.
We had a whopping 448 contributions in February which is astounding, and a huge jump from the previous months. Much of this is work being done on the Mautic 5.1 release, which has over 200 pull requests merged already! It's great to see the huge effort going into improve Mautic, both as a product and also as a community.
Â
This month also saw the much anticipated holding of the next in-person conference, Mautic Conference India.
It was a great privilege to attend the event and deliver a keynote where we explored the state of Mautic and our strong trajectory of growth.
I also announced the exciting news that Mautic is now officially recognised as a Digital Public Good. Read more about that in our press release announcing the news!
I really appreciated the awesome job done by the team who organised the event - everything ran smoothly, and the event was a huge success by all counts. It was wonderful to meet so many of you during my time in India and see the great sparks of innovation, enthusiasm and excitement in the Community Sprint.
I'm excited to see the community grow and thrive across India as a result of the event!
Conclusion
This month has seen a huge growth in contributions which has been fantastic to see - and we're continuing to see growth in adoption of Mautic, as well.Â
Financially we had a heavy expenditure month but this was expected and forecasted due to a missed invoice and a renewal of our key conferencing software, Airmeet, which we use for our Mautic Conference Global events.
It was a wonderful experience attending the various events we've had this month, from FOSDEM to State of Open Con to Mautic Conference India - there are still so many people who don't know about Mautic that we have such a huge opportunity for growth ahead of us - now we need your help to really maximise on the opportunity!
