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?

[Kirill]

Hi,
thanks for the response and recommendations.
I already joined the Development Group and I'm already looking forward to create some Solutions to problems.

[sveabecker]

Great to hear 🙂

[StephanieMarley]

Welcome @Kirill! I'm so impressed by what you have accomplished! Have you taken any learning journeys?

Have a wonderful day!

[Kirill]

Hi @StephanieMarley, 
ABAP reminds me of Bash, which I'm familiar with. Thats why I had no big problems to learn it and already work on productive projects.

The main challenge I faced was finding good examples of how to use some Function Modules in ABAP. But I managed to figure it out by myself eventually.

I just discovered the SAP Learnings yesterday and I enrolled in one of them.
I think they will be helpful for me to improve my skills.

Thanks for sharing your tips!

[StephanieMarley]

@Kirill I like your pioneering spirit. I agree that when there is a will there is a way! Will be great to hear back from you in the community about your learning journey experience. There is so much available to learners! Best of luck!

[SimonHeimler]

Simon Heimler, from Dresden Germany here 🙂

[KatherineKenneally]

Welcome @SimonHeimler - I had the pleasure of visiting your city and the SAP office a number of years ago. Part of the SAP Community team now. Which topics are you most expert/interested in?

[SimonHeimler]

Thanks for the warm welcome! 
Yes, Dresden has a very nice office, in a very nice place within the city. 

I'm mostly interested in our technology vision, data & AI strategy, low-code/no-code and BTP platform. One reason I registered here is because I wanted to write a blog article about some internal standard (that helps with some of those topics) that we've now made open source.

[StephanieMarley]

@SimonHeimler it is great to see you in the community. I work in the Newtown Square office that is outside Philadelphia in the US. Germany is lovely! Where I live has quite similar landscapes! We don't have a backdrop of the Alps though😁anywhere!

[sveabecker]

Hello @gu2095 welcome to SAP Community.

As you are from North Germany, let me introduce these three location groups to you, which are closer to Bremen than others:

• Hamburg: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/hamburg/gh-p/hamburg
• Hannover: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/hannover/gh-p/hannover 
• Lingen: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/lingen/gh-p/lingen 
• Kiel: https://groups.community.sap.com/t5/kiel/gh-p/kiel 

Purpose of these location groups is to bring the local community together. The group owner often organize community event, which is a great opportunity to connect with other locals onsite. Therefore I thought these might be interesting for you. Don't forget to join these groups!
