Welcome, glad to see you here!

[craigcmehil]

We are just opening the doors, sweeping the floors and cleaning the windows. We thought it might be nice to bring a familiar area here so everyone can test things out a bit and get a feel for this new area of functionality we've added to the SAP Community. This area is our "Groups" or you might hear us refer to it as "Group Hub" which is the vendor term for it.

This is new functionality, new features for the SAP Community and we'll not be customising it beyond what the platform offers but it already offers a lot so we are excited to try it out and see how things go!

Hope to see a lot of you diving in and stopping by for a little break from the day to day here in our new Coffee Corner!

It's nice to see some interesting things happening in the community space, in my area the people and content vanished from the community since the change of platform years ago.

I hope now that we can bring some more contributors together, we had a great space in the past and very interesting discussions!

[PierreCol]

Thanks for adding this functionality, let's see how far it will foster Community members engagement!

Hi ,

Can you explain , which kind of discussion were going on,because i have just joined it.

I am feeling some thrilling topics will be covered in discussion.

Please share your thoughts about coffee corner!!!!!

[jerryjanda]

The Coffee Corner has always been our community's off-topic area for conversations. Here, members can chat about all kinds of interests that extend beyond SAP and IT. For example, in our new Coffee Corner so far, we have a discussion about building with LEGO blocks and another about coffee roasting (which seems very apropos for Coffee Corner).

In short, any casual conversations (within reason!) are fair game for Coffee Corner.

Enjoy!

Estou feliz em fazer parte da comunidade, quero aprender cada vez mais sobre SAP e estar aqui vai me fazer ficar por dentro desse mercado tão interessante!

[mmcisme1]

Why - oh - why must everything change?   😀🤣  It never stops - which is a good thing when you are working with technology.  Otherwise we'd all be out of jobs.

You can eat it here, you can eat it with goat, in a train, everywhere!  Ha.  That's all I can remember without looking about Green Eggs and Ham.  It's a different look and feel here.  It was strange to formally  join.

I think this new functionality will be great to get to know our colleagues better.

Congratulations for this initiative

[martinstenzig]

Great to see the additional functionality, but curious as to why I now seem to have an additional "username" and different avatar. 

[LaurensDeprost]

I agree that the requiring a separate username and avatar is a bit weird. I assume that this requirement will disappear once the Groups functionality comes out of the beta phase.

See the introductory blog post.

New Coffe Corner, eh? Ok, I will check it out, seems nice so far!

By the way: The new Coffee Corner loads a lot faster than the old one, so that's pretty cool.

[VolkerBarth]

FWIW, will the old CC be closed (in the sense of "read only") or removed? I had interpreted Craig's words as the former, but according to Moshe's comment, it seems to be different:

"+++ Update: this area is now closed and will be removed Nov. 3rd. +++"

Yep, @Former Member, we aren't archiving into a read-only forum.

As I responded to you over here, @VolkerBarth, the old Coffee Corner will be removed altogether and all Coffee Corner conversations will now occur in this group. 

While I'll miss my old threads, I am happy to see that this Coffee Corner group has breathed new life into the community conversations. Things had gotten pretty quiet over there, whereas this group has been really active.

[VolkerBarth]

For completeness: As stated there as answer:

I just have to re-ask that: So contributions like the "APAB Gore" will be removed?

Note: I have not contributed there [in that thread] (and not much anyway), but a lot other folks have, and still I feel it's wrong to remove such pages... feels like there's not any value in the communities discussions for SAP.

YMMV.

[MortenWittrock]

Well, Halloween is just around the corner:

[former_member3217]

We all deserve this coffee break.

[JimSpath]

Hey folks, I'm back reconnecting to the community from a new windows 11 laptop, after the usual side challenges getting more life critical apps set up. Also am getting my partner back on their feet after minor self care. 

Today's special Monday morning coffee is "Whole Bean Organic Peruvian Peaks."

[Sal]

Here I am trying to find any fellow AEs / bizdev / sales reps ...but no such luck. 

Is there any place in Community Blogs for folks in my part of SAP?

[craigcmehil]

Over 3 million uses including customers, partners and of course your fellow employees. So they are here 🙂

Hi,

I just rejoined. It was necessary due to the new user I have now.

Cheers,

Martin

Welcome!

[DiegoDora]

Hi @StephanieMarley 

Thanks for the instructions! Already setup the new profile here, avatar picture changed, and permission request to access the Mentors group 🙂 

[StephanieMarley]

Hi Diego, Great to see you in Groups. I expect a fun and productive discussion! Enjoy your day! Stephanie

hi

[agalal1]

Thanks a lot Craig, this looks awesome!

[BijayKumarBarik]

Thank you Craig  for this functionality. Yes, we need a brake in Coffee Corner from Q&A area!

[DJ23]

Hello,  happy to join it！

[KatherineKenneally]

Happy to have you here @DJ23 ! Feel free to join in any of the open discussions, pop by on your next coffee break! Or - as always - don't hesitate to start up a discussion of your own!

[Amaury_Van-Espen]

Hi @craigcmehil 

I'm not able to create a post in the Coffee Corner group :-(. It requires a Label (at least one). There is no label in predefine list and custom own label do not seem to be allowed.

it seems there is Partner Groups in SAP Community, similar to SAP Mentor or Champion private groups.

I do not really understand how to request access to those dedicated groups, not sure of where to go here according to https://pages.community.sap.com/resources/partners.  Any suggestion ?

Cheers

Amaury

[craigcmehil]

No label should be required, we'll have to check for that. In terms of the partner area those require your partner account to be linked to your universal ID. Access is automatic for licensed partners.
