The wait is over! I know many of you are looking forward to finding out who are the SCN Topic Leaders for the contest period August 1, 2012 to July 31, 2013. Thank you for your patience as I put this list together, it is longer than it has ever been :-)
As explained in my earlier blog post, the program now recognizes more members in many diverse areas, thus representing the breadth of contributions on SCN. I hope that you will find the list below meaningful and that it will help you get to know people in your area of interest.
As a reminder, people listed here earned at least 440 points in the contest period, in a space where topic expertise can be determined - certain areas such as Getting Started or Events are not included.
Perks
Unfortunately we are not able to give a free passes to all Topic Leaders, we never did it, but we will reach out to all of you to find out who is planning to come to SAP TechEd. We want to give you the opportunity to meet the SCN team and SAP Mentors there, and to get well-deserved recognition on stage at the DemoJam event.
You will soon receive an Acknowledgement of Achievement per e-mail and a new shiny badge on SCN.
Acknowledgements
Many thanks to Bunchball and Sean Yang for helping me put this list together, as well as Audrey StevensonJeanne Carboni and Chip Rodgers for the guidance as we worked together to update the program.
Thank you to the SCN Moderators and Space Editors who reviewed the list with me.
Kudos and Thank-Yous to SAP employees who support the community in many ways but are not listed here:
Rui Nogueira for his work to encourage community engagement around the HANA Cloud Developer Platform
Juergen Schmerder behind the scenes of the Developer Community, organizing InnoJam events across the worlds and supporting the geeky SAP fans with various programs and activities
Diem Lam who manages the University Alliances Community
SCN Team members such as Jason Lax, who answers many community questions in the SCN Support space, Audrey Stevenson who manages gamification with me, and Mark Finnern who manages the SAP Mentor program together with Ali Samieivafa and Maria Farrales.
I don’t want these people to think that they are forgotten, because they did earn a significant amount of points as part of their jobs in the contest year. Thank you guys for all your efforts with these programs!
Please join me in congratulating our SCN Topic Leaders 2012-2013!
