On Tuesday, a few of us llamas will be heading over to San Francisco to attend to the Innovate Developer's Conference. We're really excited to be a part of this conference for a couple of reasons.

First and foremost, we're enthusiastic about the potential the X.commerce platforms brings to the Magento and eCommerce communities. It is a very ambitious end-to-end, multi-channel platform that aims to make the constantly changing and evolving world of eCommerce easy to access. On top of that, it's open source! We'll be watching this story unfold and can't wait to see the fruit: what makes it into Magento and what features and services will be born out of this platform that can help us more effectively serve our customers and make them more successful.

Secondly, we are glad to hear that Magento's Developer Certification will enter beta at Innovate. As you may have heard, our own David Alger was one of many on their Certification Advisory Board. We can't wait to take the test!

Thirdly, it will be great to meet and visit with our friends from Magento and the greater Magento community. It's not very often that we get to spend any amount of time with so many others in the eCommerce industry.

We'll be updating our blog as time allows while at Innovate. You can follow along on the X.commerce blog or watching the #innovate tag on twitter.
