I think they see it as sort of an annoying little bug that keeps buzzing around their head and every once in a while they have to kind of swat it away.""The Magento community in Europe has been watching the movement of Adobe with skepticism.""MageOS has Hoofa as the free version, but you have to go through the rigmarole of decoupling Luma.""There should be one person in the entire company that bridges the gap between the community."Chapters00:00Personal Life and COVID-19 Impact06:33Differences in the Magento Community27:19Cultural Differences in Magento Adoption30:50Impact of Hufa and MageOS43:50Challenges of Merging Magento and Shopware Communities47:36The Need for Adobe's Engagement
