While these are predominantly from companies with under 10 employees, we&#8217;re starting to see more interest from larger companies.<\/p>\n<p>We continue to learn from the data we&#8217;re capturing in the Mautic trials, including having recently implemented in-app analytics using the open source tool Posthog which is helping us to undertand how people explore the product once they log in.<\/p>\n<p>Composer installations also continue to grow, and as we&#8217;re improving our documentation we hope that we will continue to see more instances that are powered by Composer.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"usage-stats\">Usage stats<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;re continuing to see a steady trend of growth when it comes to Mautic downloads through mautic.org, and through composer the growth continues since March 2024.<\/p>\n<p>There are now just over 44,000 sites tracked online which have the Mautic tracking code deployed:<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-15089\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-cumulative.png\" alt=\"Chart showing cumulative growth in sites with Mautic tracking active.\" title=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-cumulative.png 2048w, https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-cumulative-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-cumulative-1024x418.png 1024w, https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-cumulative-768x313.png 768w, https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-cumulative-1536x626.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We continue to see a strong quarter on quarter percentage growth of sites with Mautic tracking deployed when compared with previous years, which is hovering around the levels we had back in the early days of Mautic&#8217;s first release.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-15090\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-q-on-q.png\" alt=\"chart showing the quarter on quarter growth of Mautic tracking scripts deployed on website by date first detected.\" title=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"835\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-q-on-q.png 2048w, https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-q-on-q-300x122.png 300w, https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-q-on-q-1024x418.png 1024w, https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-q-on-q-768x313.png 768w, https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/may-24-q-on-q-1536x626.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"community-health\">Community Health<\/h2>\n<p>This month we&#8217;re continuing to see more people giving back to Mautic, with 212 contributions made by 46 contributors.\u00a0 It&#8217;s great to see more businesses stepping up and enabling their team members to spend time each week giving back to Mautic, as this is a much more sustainable basis on which to grow our project than relying on people&#8217;s spare time. Thank you to all the organizations who have taken this important commitment to Mautic&#8217;s growth!<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ve also seen plans getting off the ground for the next MautiCamp Africa in Nigeria, and possible <a href=\"https:\/\/community.mautic.org\/assemblies\/mauticon-working-group\/f\/65\/\">proposals for the next in-person MautiCon<\/a> being prepared for both Miami, USA and Lisbon, Portugal.<\/p>\n<p>Towards the end of the quarter we expect to be advertising for some of the leadership team positions which are coming up for the end of their terms, so keep an eye on social media and the Community Portal for opportunities to step up and play a part in Mautic&#8217;s future!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>All in all, it&#8217;s been a positive month for Mautic with a lot of excitement building in the run up to the next Mautic Conference Global event. Fundraising from corporate memberships has slowed somewhat, but we&#8217;re making progress. We&#8217;re also working hard to get the 5.1 release out, which will hopefully be during June.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let&#8217;s see what&#8217;s been going on in the Mautic project this month!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":15952,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"publish_to_discourse":"","publish_post_category":"","wpdc_auto_publish_overridden":"","wpdc_topic_tags":"","wpdc_pin_topic":"","wpdc_pin_until":"","discourse_post_id":"","discourse_permalink":"","wpdc_publishing_response":"","wpdc_publishing_error":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1493],"tags":[1356,1291],"class_list":["post-16794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-community-news","tag-openstartup","tag-report"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16794"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16794\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17258,"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16794\/revisions\/17258"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mautic.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
