Exciting isn't it? You can check all the wiki <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Community/CommunityDayBangaloreNovember27th">Community Day Info</a> by reading the wiki schedule, but also by looking at the blog topic <a href="https://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/q/weblogs_by_topic#55">Community Day</a> where many community members share their experiences.

Hi Marilyn,

Exciting? its thrilling !!! When i saw a mail from Gali, i was not able to belive it and i kept at looking at that mail for few minutes, i never expected that i will get an invite. But now as i have got one i can not wait to come there and meet you all respected community members.I have always seen you all members discussing many things on SDN, i read many blogs of yours as well. So in short its a pleasure to meet such a great community members like you. By the way you will be there at Bangalore right? I will be very happy to meet you and all others.

Will I be there? You can be sure I will, as will Mark Finnern and Craig Cmehil and Thomas Jung. Get your WII hands on and start putting your contents into the Community wiki. Create a session and really participate.

Take a look at the <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Community/CommunityDayBangaloreNovember27th">Bangalore Community Day Wiki Page</a> and start thinking of where you would be participating or even driving participation.

What topics interest you? Where would you like to contribute?

Hi,

Just now i read what a BoF is all about, is it like that i can choose some of those topics and attend that group discussion? or i have to attain all of those?What if i am a total naive to that topic? The reason i am asking this is because some of those topics are all together new to me so i would like to get as much as i can from that.

You get to choose. Of course you can select topics new to you or, if you are a subject expert in a particular topic you could even dare to lead a session.

This format is called "unconference". It is a more open, collaborative, and informal way of exchanging knowledge. All participants in the BOF can contribute and it is a more conversational format. The idea is that speakers are approachable and interactive and there is little speaker hierachy.

I'm curious about how that format works in various cultures. We have an exchange student living with us presently from Japan, and she has told me how challenging she finds learning environments where opinions and freeform are encouraged. I wonder if there are additional cultures and learning environments that find this way of learning foreign or different.

In Munich, participants at our roundtables said it was the most valuable part of their TechEd experience. Many folks choose this style over the more formal classroom offerings. It all boils down to a matter of personal preference and learning style. The beauty of it is that you have real opportunity to ask and answer participants. Dialouge is a way to foster learning and understanding and constitutes active learning.

Hi Marilyn,

Thanks a lot for this valuable information, now i am feeling comfortable, earlier i was a bit nervous thinking what can i contribute or say. Surely i will try to contribute here as well as i do on SDN.one last question to bother you..You said to creat a session, how to create one?

Hi Ameya,

Please do not feel pressure to create a session but only do so if you have a topic that you would like to share with others or would like to try to help facilitate a conversation around a subject that you think is interesting and would like to have people discuss. You can use the wiki link and then (while logged on using your userid to SDN/BPX) edit the wiki page to add a line to the wiki table. This can be done by using the WYSIWYG editor or going to wiki markup mode and carefully following the wiki tags already in the table. For example go to this link: <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Community/CommunityDayBangaloreNovember27th">Community Day Bangalore</a> and take a look at the Info tag and then again at the link <a href="https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpagesrc.action?pageId=33390">View Source</a>. This will show you the "markup" version of the page.

A line in the table looks like this:

8

Twitter meets Netweaver

SDN

[Craig Cmehil

profile:Craig Cmehil]

Where each set of lines || constitutes a column in the table and [] refers to an alias and a link. In this case, Craig Cmehil becomes the text of the hyper link that points to Craig's profile in the wiki.

Craig is going to speak about Twitter in Netweaver. People who don't even know about Twitter might find it very interesting to understand what it is and why you would want to find a way to encorporate it into the Netweaver landscape. In Vegas and Munich there were interesting conversations (led by <a href="http://redmonk.com/jgovernor/">Red Monk</a> and the authors of the <a href="http://thegeekgap.blogspot.com/">The Geek Gap</a> about the IT/Business schism and the new business meeting the new IT.
