SAP Community - Where are you from?

[lauraschmitz]

SAP Community keeps growing and growing and I am super excited for this Welcome Corner as it gives the chance for not only new members but everyone to get to know one another and connect with each other.

As my colleague @Katherine_K gives an overall introduction to the Group and what you can expect from it in her blog post, I’d like to take the opportunity to start a discussion about the different locations represented in our global SAP Community. I am interested to read where you are located and where SAP Community is spread around the world.

I am from Germany and currently living in Wiesbaden, which is the capital of one of the sixteen German states located in the west. After years of studies and living in different places, my hometown has caught me again with its charm and the closeness to friends and family has won me over.

But now I am curious, where are you tuning in from?

Hello @aarthiiyer welcome to SAP Community. 

Did you notice already that there are some location groups in the Asia Pacific Region including Gurgaon? Check them out and connect with other local peers!

Also, you might want to learn how to upload a profile photo to change the avatar beside your name (optional but welcomed).

Hello @Brissia and welcome to SAP Community. Great you joined it! There are so many interesting things going on here, for instance the interest groups, the location groups  and in the what's new area, you'll find all the latest updates. Maybe you start with that. 🙂

[RashidAR]

Hello everyone! I'm from Berlin, Germany.

[Katherine_K]

Welcome @RashidAR - I bet it's a nice city to live in! Which topics are you most interested/expert in?

[RashidAR]

Thank you @Katherine_K ! My focus is mainly on SAP Analytics Cloud, and SAP S/4HANA Embedded Analytics.

[Katherine_K]

It's great to have your experience here in the community!
Is there a Christmas market in Berlin? I'm based in Galway, Ireland - there is a market here but nothing like the German ones! Some community groups are meeting up in Heidelberg, Stuttgart and Frankfurt for a get-together. I haven't heard of one in Berlin as of yet though.

[RashidAR]

Thank you very much. There are quite a few Christmas markets in Berlin yes, but I haven't worked up the strength to go out in what is an uncharacterestic -4 degrees in December yet. Maybe soon!

[Katherine_K]

True!! You'd need a heated jacket! Well good luck if you venture outside. It's frosty here today with all the cars frosted over - very very cold. We have a saying in Ireland that we don't mind going outside "as long as it's dry". 😊

[Rukhaiyya]

Hi , I'm Rukhiayya Kowsar. S from India . Focused in SAP Integration Suite and will be writing blogs on the same.

[Katherine_K]

Great to have you here @Rukhaiyya - we have lots of members joining from India! Please take a look at our India location groups, if you haven't done so already, there may be one you'd like to join. Our location groups are great for networking and connecting locally. Many organize local events in addition.

[Rukhaiyya]

Thanks  Katherine,

I will join the suggested groups. 

I'm having an access issue to write a blog inspite of completing the required tutorial and earning badges. Could you please help me with the right email id to check on this , the given email id is no longer valid community@sap.com.

Thanks in advance 

Rukhiayya

[Katherine_K]

Hi @Rukhaiyya - sorry to hear that - did you write the blog post in SAP Community or in one of the groups? Either way it will need to be approved first. Yes, you can still reach out to community@sap.com this is the correct email address for SAP Community.
