🦃 Post-Thanksgiving Boost: Contribute to Mautic this Open Source Friday!

[rcheesley]

Hello Mautic Family!

Autumn is well and truly here in the UK, with the temperatures dropping and leading to me reaching out for my and !

But at least we get some beautiful woodland scenes!

After a day filled with gratitude and feasting in some parts of the world, it’s time to embrace the spirit of innovation and cooperation with an exciting Open Source Friday! This Black Friday, move beyond the shopping frenzy and engage in a truly rewarding experience— contributing to Mautic.

Just as every delicious dish brings a unique flavor to the Thanksgiving table, your contributions also add invaluable richness to our community.

Our Community Team, Education Team, Product Team, and Marketing Team are all eager to bask in your unique insights and skills.

We urge you to explore the contributor’s guide and get involved in shaping the future of Mautic. Every action taken enhances our collective strength and intelligence, propelling us further in our mission.
