It’s been an interesting month for Magento. You may have seen the recent flurry of posts around the future of Magento Open Source, and talk of a posible fork. It started with the post “The Future of Magento” by a group of well respected and long time community members. This has already been followed up by posts by Adobe and the Magento Association.
This month’s Developer Monthly is dedicated to sharing some of the interesting community perspectives I have read on this important topic - the topic is too big to ignore.

Open Source, Leadership and Direction - by Fooman
As a long time Magento community member I care about the open source version and what it represents for the merchants using it. So while I don’t pretend to know everything about the current debate, I have been working with Magento since the first beta release and wanted to make a few comments about open source in general and Magento in particular.
tl;dr
No matter the scenario with hindsight better communication is always welcome so let’s get / keep talking.
