#MagentoMonday Community Digest 2016.05.09

Happy #MagentoMonday! 

If you're new to our forums, welcome! Take a look around, check out our guidelines, and be sure to reach out to me or any of our awesome moderators if you have any questions.

A Quick Ask for You

As you know, over the last year we developed and launched Magento Masters to recognize Magento's top contributors. The software we use for our forums has a category in their annual awards for exactly this and their team seems to think our community is pretty amazing (who can blame them?), so I entered. I would love it if you can spare 5 minutes of your time before May 10th to go vote for our entry and amplify our awesome community that much further. 

Now on to what you've been saying and doing over the past week!
