SAP.com en-us http://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/16677 With the announcement of Code Exchange at TechEd Vienna, we also mentioned in a by-sentence that there will be new developer licenses for NetWeaver available.

SAP http://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/14160 The former SAP board member Shai Agassi left the company some time ago to found his startup "Better Place" in order to develop revolutionary concepts for electric cars.

SAP http://weblogs.sdn.sap.com/pub/wlg/5752 Anarchy on the SDN & BPX: on the first day silence and astonished eyes from the community. Some people cautiously dare to post comments to an unnoticed posting, by inserting an email address and ask for material (we know that's forbidden). No reaction from the SDN/BPX team. Another hits the wall: nobody updates his blogger picture. And a regular doesn't get his usual "great blog, I absolutely love your thoughts" comments from Mark Finnern. What's going on on the SDN? Where are the people running the platform? Avian flu? Sudden heart stroke of all Community team members? Have aliens abducted the team? What is it?
