In the background several folks in the community have been banding together to help a newcomer to our little group find his feet -  not only did he find them but he's got them off and running to join us in Las Vegas at the SAP TechEd '07 Community Day!

Meet Steve,

So the other event I will be talking/helping at the Community Day at SAP TechEd ‘07, Las Vegas. The idea is that I will give a short (10-15 minutes) presentation on mapping and using the deCarta API and then we all proceed to hack adding maps to SAP applications. Our javascript api and XML over HTTP services are easy enough that I think having SAP experts with laptops around means we could build some cool applications.

Hats off to James G. and Craig C.  for the invite and if you are not a developer in the deCarta developer zone please sign up before the conference. Since we give out free access to our partner data for your development there is an approval process for signing up. Turnaround on sign up usually takes 12 hours but it might take a day or two.

Please excuse the current experience of the current dev zone, it will be updated to something new and shiny in the next couple of weeks.
