Many congratulations to the Varien team for making it to this milestone. It’s been a long, hard and sometimes rough journey (perhaps more than we know), but soon your hard work and Varien’s investment will really begin to pay off…
With all due respect to the existing carts: the future belongs to Magento - and therefore Varien and the community that embraces it. Here’s to celebrating again, in another short year.

Hi guys,
Congratulations for the first successful year. We home the next one will be even more successful. Thank you for the best online store in the universe. They say that the baby starts talking a lot after one year, so please please talk to us. Expand the documentation, write the tutorials. We would be more happy with more tutorials than more features.
Nice cake

Great job team! You all deserve it. I just recently found Magento (about 30 days ago) and although I am not a PHP fan (love PERL) I have to admit, that Magento is a fine crafted piece of software. I know of no other offering that can even come close to it’s architecture and flexibility. You have all done a fantastic job. Your hard work and dedication are really appreciated by many. Thank you for sharing! Have a great celebration.
