🌟 Shine Bright Like a Star: Contribute to Mautic on Open Source Friday!

You guessed it, it’s Friday again!

Time to rise and shine :star2: and be the change you want to see in the (Mautic) world, by contributing to Mautic’s growth!

It’s no secret - everyone in the Mautic Community can play a valuable part in making Mautic even more awesome, and that includes you! :sparkling_heart:

Every Friday we come together in the Mautic Community to test bug fixes, features and improvements to Mautic, and work on fixing any current issues that have been reported. Other teams are also working on projects from Marketing to Education to Community!

It’s a great way to give something back to Mautic, even if you only have an hour.

We’re here to help you get started however you want to contribute, just drop us a message on Slack in #new-contributors or reach out to me directly.

Governance and Fundraising

With the latest news about Mautic becoming an independent open source project, we have a lot of work to do on redefining our governance model and plans for fundraising. Please join #wg-governance and #wg-fundraising respectively to have your say and get involved! Get a Slack invitation here.

Check this forum thread where we have a proposal for the new governance model to review - please leave your thoughts on the sub-threads.

Product Team

Mautic users

Pretty much all bug fixes, features and improvements can be tested fully in the browser thanks to our integration with Gitpod, making it very quick and easy to test.

If you prefer a video, fear not, here’s one I prepared just for you!

Every single bug fix and feature in Mautic will have been tested by at least two people just like you - users of Mautic, who give a bit of their time back to help Mautic.

Check the fixes, features and enhancements that need testing in our shiny new, especially crafted for you, project board:

Here is a video walk through which explains how the board works:

If you need access to change things on the board, drop us a message in #t-product on Slack (get an invite at Slack). Note that you can also update the column on the board from directly within the pull request - check the widget on the right hand side!

Developers

If you are a developer, we have some bugs that we would like to look into (check the issue queue on GitHub or the ‘To do’ column on the board above for high priority bugs), and we also have some tasks to help us on the progress for the Mautic 5 project.

Drop us a line in Slack on #t-product to find out where you can help - we have a team of mentors who are ready to help you getting started.

How to get involved

If you have some time available on Friday, please join us in Slack in #t-product. We will help you to get started and walk through your first tests until you are confident.

Here is the list of things that we want to focus on today:

Marketing Team

Planning our newsletter

Help us to prepare our monthly newsletter - we have lots of ways you can help from writing to creating designs, translating and proof reading. Join #wg-mautic-newsletter and help us get started!

We also have a newsletter review team who check over the preview of the newsletter before we send it and provide feedback. A super quick way to contribute and highly valuable - just let us know if you would like to help.

Articles for the blog

Do you have a great topic that you would like to share with our community about marketing, Mautic, or any related topics? We’d love to hear from you! We can help with proofreading and editing and we have some topics we would like to write on if you need some inspiration! Drop us a line in #t-marketing on Slack.

Write a review

We would value your review on either G2 or Trust Radius - it really helps when people are considering whether to use Mautic to read reviews from other users.

Calling Wikipedia editors!

We are struggling to have our Wikipedia page created - we would value help from experienced Wikipedia editors to assist with this!

Education Team

Writing and translating articles for the Knowledgebase

We already have the KB in English, German, and Portuguese. We’d love to have more articles and more languages! Want to help? Join #t-education on Slack and we can get you set up! Here’s how to write articles as a starting point.

Translating the new end-user documentation

We are planning to make the new end-user documentation available in several languages, but we need your help to make that happen!

Currently we have Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish in progress and Italian about to start. We need both translators and reviewers - you can do both (translate, and then review the translations that others have done).

It’s all done through our existing translation platform, Transifex. If you’re already on the translating team, then you can jump right in! Need an invite? Drop me a message and let me know your username.
