How Do You Build a Business Around Open Source?
<p>What happens when you set off to build a sustainable business around open source software?</p> <p>In this episode of Open Matters, Richard Brock speaks with Lucie Lesage from Jeci, the French company behind the open-source document management platform Pristy.</p> <p>Lucie explains how Jeci grew from one developer providing Alfresco services into a team building its own open-source product. We discuss finding the first customers, selling software before every feature was finished, setting prices, earning trust, and learning to let other developers contribute to something that began as one person’s code.</p> <p>We also explore why Jeci chose Collabora Online for document editing, how open source gives customers confidence that their software can continue even if a supplier disappears, and why “free software” does not mean software that costs nothing.</p> <p>Topics include:</p> <p>• Growing from services into a product company • Winning and supporting the first customers • Pricing open-source software • Building Pristy on top of Alfresco • Why Jeci chose Collabora Online • Free as in freedom—not free of cost • Open-source and French-first business principles • Pristy Marchés and future product plans</p> <p>🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on open-source tech! iTunes: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/open-matters-podcast/id1807042369">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/open-matters-podcast/id1807042369</a> Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4frqRzV9DsAC0HfJ3ewaeD">https://open.spotify.com/show/4frqRzV9DsAC0HfJ3ewaeD</a> RSS: <a href="https://www.collaboraonline.com/feed/mp3/">https://www.collaboraonline.com/feed/mp3/</a></p> <p>The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of Collabora Productivity or its affiliates.

How Events Help Build Open Source Communities
<p>Open source doesn’t grow through code alone — it also grows through communities. And communities are built when people meet, share ideas, and sometimes argue over coffee in conference hallways.</p> <p>In this episode of Open Matters, Richard Brock speaks with Eirini Athanasopoulou from Nextcloud about the human side of open source: events, community, storytelling, and what it takes to bring distributed people together in real life.</p> <p>Eirini shares her journey from literature and TEDx in Greece to organising international events at Nextcloud, including Enterprise Days, the Nextcloud Summit, and the Community Conference. We talk about why in-person events still matter, how open-source events differ from generic tech conferences, and why event management is “project management with a little bit of fun and magic.”</p> <p>And yes — there is also a pizza disaster story.</p> <p>🔔 Subscribe for more discussions on open-source tech! iTunes: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/open-matters-podcast/id1807042369">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/open-matters-podcast/id1807042369</a> Spotify: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4frqRzV9DsAC0HfJ3ewaeD">https://open.spotify.com/show/4frqRzV9DsAC0HfJ3ewaeD</a> RSS: <a href="https://www.collaboraonline.com/feed/mp3/">https://www.collaboraonline.com/feed/mp3/</a></p> <p>The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of Collabora Productivity or its affiliates.
