I would really love it if, for a future Magento event, someone organises a MageFootball or TennisGento or MageBasketball tournament similar to the MageRun events.
Arpatech: Everyone has a few mentors, whose work and quotes inspire us. Can you name some of the people of Magento community who have motivated you throughout your journey?
Marius: Oh, there are a lot of people that inspire me. I’m sorry because I’m sure I forgot someone in the list
