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 @KatherineKenneally 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 @former_member123769 welcome! Where exactly do you live? We have several location groups in India. Maybe there is one group nearby? Check them all out here: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/asia-pacific/ct-p/asia-pacific
I recommend to join the location group which is close to your location, so that you can connect with other local peers. Joining or subscribing to a group helps to push a notification so that you get automatically updated once there is new content in the group!

Hi team 
I am  Venezuela, currently living in Brasil.

[sveabecker]

Welcome @ghinanmercado ! If you live by chance in Sao Paulo, I would like to make you aware of our Sao Paulo Group. It's a great place to connect with other locals in local language and to get updates about upcoming events. So wherever you live in Brazil, it still might be interesting to join that group! 🙂
There is also an SAP Online Track planned out of Brazil, if this is a topic you are interested in. Check out all the details here: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/sap-insidetrack/sap-process-automation-online-track/ev-p/10264

Hi I am Silva from Brazil.

[sveabecker]

Hello @EversonS welcome! Where do you live in Brazil? Maybe nearby Sao Paulo? We have a location group in Sao Paulo which is a great place to connect with other locals in local language and to get updates about upcoming events. So wherever you live in Brazil, it still might be interesting to join that group! 

There is also an SAP Online Track planned out of Brazil, if this is a topic you are interested in. Check out all the details here: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/sap-insidetrack/sap-process-automation-online-track/ev-p/10264

Hi, I am Esther from Mannheim, Germany.

[olov]

Hi Community!
I work remotely, so currently I'm in the UAE 🙂

[sveabecker]

That's cool and it sounds you are traveling a lot @olov ! Therefore, I would like to recommend to subscribe to the SAP Community Event Board so you get informed when there is a new event in the region you are currently in. Isn't this a great opportunity to connect with other local community members?

Also, the Location Groups Overview Page would be interesting for you to see, which groups we have already and if you are in a specific region, find out more details about it while checking the respective location group. 🙂

[sveabecker]

Welcome to you all @Saswata_78  @Anne_Wang @lnirmala @gaganhl @olov @Toni1 @Ankit4800 ! So great you are joining SAP Community Groups!
As I noticed your profile images are not yet uploaded to your profiles, I would like to recommend this post: How to upload a profile photo or change the avatar beside your name. Advantage of having a personal profile image is that your profile doe as I noticed that you both don't have an image uploaded.
Furthermore, according to your location, please check our existing Location Groups and join the one which is close to your location. 🙂
