Why Warsaw? Warsaw sucks
Wroclaw is better place for meeting

Wouldn’t it be nice to start an online community around Magento already??
I know the product isn’t yet ready and all, but still…
12roy from Los Angeles, CA|posted July 25 2007
Rogier - A full featured community site is in the final stages of development. We will release it with the launch of Beta1 (first preview of Magento).

I’m a little confused...i understand that magento is “open source evolved” but i’ve read on the EE forums that you plan to start looking at some form of merger with expressionengine, a very slick but proprietary CMS?
14roy from Los Angeles, CA|posted July 25 2007
Steve - the discussion on the Expression Engine (EE ) forum involved the possibility of integration at some point in the future. Magento is and will be open source.

Too bad Ukraine is far away.
Any chance of getting you to the north on your european tour? Could introduce you guys to Santa. 
16roy from Los Angeles, CA|posted August 2 2007
Aarne - we’ll be in Europe in early 2008 (or maybe even sooner). Hopefully we can make as north as you are.

Ok, have to keep track if you will stumble to Finland as well.
