Rebecca’s Reflections

Dear Di?ry,

This week has been all about momentum, within Hyv? and across the Magento community. We all picked up so much energy from recent events and it’s clear everyone is making the most of it!

The excitement around Hyv? Commerce has been so wonderful to see. Hearing the questions and seeing the interest at recent events reminds me of how much this project matters. Not just for Hyv?, but for everyone invested in the Magento ecosystem. The ball is rolling, and the hard work has truly begun. ??

On a personal note, I’ve also been reflecting on my own journey with Magento as it marked 8 years since my first talk and over 10 years of obsessing over this platform! It’s incredible to see how far the technology and the community have come.

It’s been a busy but rewarding week, and I’m looking forward to what’s next.

What’s been keeping you busy? Let me know in the comments, I’d love to hear about your week!

I always try my best not to, but have I missed something? If you have anything to share with the Hyv? & Magento community, please drop it in the comments ??

Have something great coming this week? Be sure to tag Hyv? when you share it!

Thank you for being here ????

- Rebecca Brocton ? , Community Manager
