Francis Gallagher
Team Lead - Senior Ecommerce EngineerFrequently Asked Questions
Well, few reasons. For one the slack was started 7 years ago as a Magento specific thing. I could go with something more generic like "commerce chat" but I think that's taken and also there's something I like about the shared history and network many of us in the commerce world have with Magento. I keep thinking of the phrase "the scattered tribes of the Magento community". Ultimately I don't think names matter too much (google was a pretty goofy name before it became google), so I'm just going with it and assuming that if I build out a valuable network of people in here that's really all that matters.
