Just over a year ago, I strained a muscle in my wrist while caring for a family member following an operation - little did I imagine the journey this would take me on over the course of the next year!  

Another quarter passes and we mark a year of progress in the Mautic Community since we held our first in-person community sprint in November 2019 at Contribution Day in Amsterdam.

Another quarter has flown by, so it’s time for our round-up report of what’s been happening in the Mautic Community over the past three months!

This quarter has seen huge progress being made in many areas of the Mautic Community and some big changes being announced. 

Having run the last two manual User Acceptance Test processes for Mautic 3, it was clear that relying on users to manually test every aspect of Mautic was both error prone and time consuming. 

It has been a busy quarter in the Mautic community following the first Community Summit back in November.  What follows is a round-up on a team-by-team basis of their activity between January-March 2020.

It really doesn’t seem like it was only two weeks ago that I walked through the doors of the cleverly named ‘White Building’ in Reading (yes, you guessed it, it’s white!) to start my first day working for Acquia as Mautic Community Manager!

Have you ever watched discussions happening in your community where someone shares a thought or opinion, or responds with a message which does not appear to be thought through or doesn’t seem to have any substance?

Often, we frown on this kind of discussion and the person can even be ridiculed for their lack of understanding or clarity - posts get closed down or threads deleted for lack of substance.

How, then, do we cater for those in our communities - like myself - who are external thinkers?
