Slowly activity is increasing with the new Dutch association of Mage-OS Nederland.

Hello world, meet Hyvä. Unless you have lived under a rock, you must have noticed the stir in the Magento community: There is a new Magento frontend, it is fast and easy and it is called Hyvä.

I'm reading a lot - to stay up-to-date but also to get inspired - and because of this, I don't have a shortage of ideas. But there are so many of them that I find it difficult to manage them. Because it is kind of funny how I maintain all of this, here is my way of dealing efficiently with my todos.

The year 2023 is here. And with that, it is always nice to look back at the past year: To learn from your mistakes and to celebrate successes. Here is the year 2022 of Yireo.

For some time now, I've been part of the Magento Extension Developer Network - ExtDN - and even though (or perhaps, because) things went quiet, I thought it would be nice to point out what ExtDN has done in the past.

We are proud to announce a new Magento community collaboration in The Netherlands: Mage-OS Nederland: A non-profit association, founded in November by six initiators and now ready for the public. First stop, a public meeting and New Year's drink on January 19th.
