Hi folks,
I’ve been working at Meilisearch for nearly six years now, first as a developer, and now as Head of Engineering.
From the beginning, open source has been a core part of our DNA.
Over the years, we’ve collaborated with contributors from all over the world, merged over 1,800 external PRs, and built dozens of tools together, and even hired contributors into our team!
I just published my first blog post looking back at this journey:

It’s a mix of community highlights, real numbers, and how we give back to community as a team and a company.
Would love your thoughts, or just to hear about your own open-source experiences! Which kind of challenges and achievements did you go through as an “open-source company”? Or even as a open-source maintainer?
Thank you for reading!
