The success of WordPress and countless other technologies hinges entirely on the dedicated, often unpaid, work of open-source contributors. But how can companies that rely on this ecosystem ensure its long-term health and sustainability? Marcel Bootsman (Partnerships & Community Manager EMEA at Kinsta) will take us beyond hosting to explore the mission and impact of the Kinsta Community Sponsorship Program. This initiative actively sponsors contributors across various facets of WordPress (Core, documentation, accessibility, polyglots) and other critical open-source projects. If you've ever wondered how commercial success and open-source citizenship can work hand in hand, this session is for you.
