This gathering marked a significant milestone in Mautic’s ongoing evolution since we became an independent open source project, demonstrating our community’s commitment to transparency and clarity in our collaborative endeavors.

One of the central elements that took place during our EGM was the formal adoption of our updated Governance Model – Governance Model v2. This model has been crafted collaboratively by the community with careful thought, aiming to strengthen operational transparency and effectiveness. Its adoption formalizes a framework that guides our strategic decisions, fosters stronger communication and collaboration, and ensures our community’s voices are heard and influential.

With our new governance model in place, we are fully equipped to navigate the exciting future that lies ahead for the Mautic project.

Adding to our excitement is the inauguration of our newly elected Council members. After a period of nominations and and voting by members, we’re proud to introduce a group of dedicated individuals who are passionate about Mautic’s future. Representing different roles and facets of Mautic, these Council members were elected by you – our community – attesting to the faith and trust you place in their vision and leadership.

We are certain that their guidance, coupled with our community’s unyielding support, will lead Mautic onto a path characterized by innovation and growth.

You can learn more about the newly elected members and their respective roles on our council page: Mautic Council Members.

As we embark on this exciting chapter, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to each member of the Mautic community, and especially to the former Council members who supported Mautic since 2019 and all those who stepped forward to be considered for the election. We are grateful for your relentless contributions and unwavering spirit. It is your passion and dedication that propels Mautic forward.

Here’s to achieving even greater things together in the days ahead! ?

Stay tuned for many more updates, and as always, let’s keep pushing the boundaries together.
