Happy #MagentoMonday!

We're getting ready to kick off MagentoLive France here in Paris—if you're attending please find me and say hi, I'd love to meet you (or see you again)! 

Magento Masters

The 2017 Magento Masters were announced last week! Check out the new Makers, Mentors, and Movers on our blog or find them on Twitter using this list. If you don't know one (or more) of them, please reach out and say hi—I know they'd love to meet you! Huge thanks to all of you who contribute so much to the Magento community!

Magento DevBlog

If you missed it, we started a brand new developer focused blog. Head on over to check out the first two posts: Introducing the New DevBlog and Update on Developer Experience Initiatives. Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss any of the great content coming up from others on our Product and ECG teams!

Free Training for Magento U OnDemand Courses Extended

We've extended our free M2 OnDemand training to March 31st. I don't really have anything else to add to that except: don't miss out!

Imagine 2017

Are you planning to attend Imagine this year? We have a group here on the forums where you can connect with others before you even get there to make sure you have a friendly face waiting for you at the event! It's also a great place to find out about community events around Imagine like the hackathon and Big Dam Run.

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