Key points
- Lower than expected income from corporate sponsors has been somewhat offset by the first Mautic Conference Global sponsorships arriving
- We continue to see growth and new contributors being onboarded which is a positive sign of growth
- Mautic's adoption continues to grow around the world both from download rates and also from detected Mautic tracking on live websites
- There are two possible proposals in progress for the in-person MautiCon locations - Miami, USA and Lisbon, Portugal.

Income
This month we've started to see income from the Mautic Conference Global sponsorship, with a Gold and two Bronze+ sponsors signing up already - thank you Leuchtfeuer Digital Marketing, Druid and Droptica!
We've also seen several new individual memberships and ongoing monthly contributions via both GitHub and Open Collective. No corporate memberships this month, but several are in the final stages of negotiation so we're expecting to see a stronger outcome next month.

Supporters are folks who have had conversations with people directly before they make a contribution, so most likely helping with that process.
This month we had 9 new contributors :rocket: (⬇️ 43.75%) and 80 new members joining the community !💖 (⬇️ 1.23%).
Usage of Mautic
Since the launch of the Mautic Trials we've seen a strong uptick in the number of people we have joining our Mautic mailing lists, alongside a steady growth in the number of people downloading Mautic.
So far to the end of May, over 700 people have started a trial of Mautic, averaging around 400 signups per month. While these are predominantly from companies with under 10 employees, we're starting to see more interest from larger companies.
We continue to learn from the data we'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.
Composer installations also continue to grow, and as we're improving our documentation we hope that we will continue to see more instances that are powered by Composer.
Usage stats
We'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.
There are now just over 44,000 sites tracked online which have the Mautic tracking code deployed:
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's first release.
Community Health
This month we're continuing to see more people giving back to Mautic, with 212 contributions made by 46 contributors. It'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's spare time. Thank you to all the organizations who have taken this important commitment to Mautic's growth!
We've also seen plans getting off the ground for the next MautiCamp Africa in Nigeria, and possible proposals for the next in-person MautiCon being prepared for both Miami, USA and Lisbon, Portugal.
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's future!
Conclusion
All in all, it'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're making progress. We're also working hard to get the 5.1 release out, which will hopefully be during June.
