This Community Initiative is being led by John Linhart, Technical Community Lead.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/opensourcefriday.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Open Source Friday<\/a> Initiative is open to any other agencies or companies that would also like to sponsor team members to join us. Just drop us a message in #t-product if you will be joining us. If you are not yet on Slack, you can get an invitation at <a href=\"https:\/\/mautic.org\/slack\">https:\/\/mautic.org\/slack<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Every Friday we will be working together in #t-product on Slack &#8211; we are opening it as an all-day event as there are people from all timezones joining us.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>At key times during the day members of the core team will be online for help with testing or chatting through any problems which arise, these are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>0900-1000 UTC<\/li>\n<li>1200-1300 UTC<\/li>\n<li>1500-1600 UTC<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We recommend using <a href=\"https:\/\/everytimezone.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">everytimezone.com<\/a> to check the time in your local timezone.<\/p>\n<h2>Initial sponsors<\/h2>\n<p>Thank you to the initial sponsors for making this Community Initiative happen. These are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Acquia<\/li>\n<li>Webmecanik<\/li>\n<li>Friendly<\/li>\n<li>Leuchtfeuer Digital Marketing<\/li>\n<li>Aivie<\/li>\n<li>QED42<\/li>\n<li>Steer Campaign<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What does this mean for Mautic users?<\/h2>\n<p>This means that we will be delivering more bug fixes more quickly, and also making sure that new features are tested and released in a timely manner. More bug fixes, more features and enhancements, more often.<\/p>\n<p>For developers, this means that all those old PRs will finally be getting merged. Also, when you submit a pull request, we are committed to reviewing, testing and merging it within 30 days. No more endless rebasing, bumping from release to release, or having to unearth months-old contributions when we\u2019re ready to test and merge them. It will take us time to work through the backlog and we do acknowledge that it will be a bit painful in the interim, but please do try to work with us through this process!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Open Source is made by people just like you.
