This is a re-broadcast of an interview I did with Alessandro Ronchi on Talk Commerce. Alessandro is the CTO of BitBul, a Magento Agency in Italy. He has organized Magento events and appeared at many conferences across the world. The episode came out right before the MOSCA letter about forking Magento and makes for a very interesting listen. Alessandro is a member of the Magento Association Content Committee and we talk about the Magento Association and the Magento Community. We dive into Meet Magento and some criticisms about these events. We talk about the importance of small events and why the Magento Association needs to pay attention to them. We discuss Magento 2 and its future. There is also some foreshadowing on helping Adobe understand that Merchants want to see a road map. We learn that Alessandro's heart is in Magento and still in Magento. We learn about Alessandro's passion... and guess what? It's Running.
