#MagentoMonday Community Digest 2017.02.27

Happy #MagentoMonday!

There was no digest last week as our US offices were closed, but we are back with quite a bit to catch you up on.

Magento 2.1.5 and 2.0.13

Last week we released Magento 2.1.5, 2.0.13, and announced that we’re simplifying our annual copyright update for Magento 2 with a dedicated release. Learn more on DevDocs.

DevExchange at Imagine 2017

After much consideration, we've decided to switch things up this year and revamp BarCamp into a new developer focused event called DevExchange, which will be held on Wednesday, April 5, 2017, between 2:00 to 5:00 pm. From now through March 3, you can head over to our Magento Imagine DevExchange 2017 board and submit topics, or vote on those that are most interesting to you.
