Is Magento Still a Good Investment? | Mathias Schreiber | Shaping Commerce

Описание: In a world of remote-first work and corporate-led software, is the "magic" of an open-source community still enough to sustain a global platform?

In this episode of Shaping Commerce, we talk with the Executive Director of the Magento Association, who shares how the Magento ecosystem is evolving to balance community passion with the legal and logistical realities of the Adobe era.

Discover: 🤝 The "Random Bump" Theory: Why in-person events are seeing a global resurgence and why webinars simply cannot replicate the human desire for real, honest connection.

Hackathons vs. Corporate Legal: The inside story of working with Adobe to clear the legal hurdles that prevent community code from being merged into the core.

The Hyvä Revolution: A candid discussion on why the Luma front end is "dated" and whether modern front-end stacks should be bundled into the main distribution.

The Hosting Consortium: A new initiative designed to protect merchants by establishing "don’t be a prick" guidelines for hosting companies.

Simplifying Installation: Why the current barrier to entry for new developers - broken links and marketplace keys - must be fixed to keep the platform viable.

This is a deep dive into the "real and honest" side of the Magento ecosystem - moving past marketing fluff to address the technical and social foundations required for an open-source platform to thrive.
