I'm sure by now everyone has seen the videos and read the blogs about the Community Day in Vegas, if not you should! Berlin is already shaping up to be just as good if not better!
I've spent the entire weekend (in between playing fussball with the kids of course) working on the agenda and I have to say that I think Berlin is going to have something that will make the folks in Vegas jealous! We've set up two panel discussions this year for Berlin that I think everyone will go nuts for! I'm not going to tell you what they are yet but if you work with ABAP, have an idea, like the idea of a startup, think the ability to generate, share and expand ideas within an organization or are curious what is happening in regards to ABAP tools then this will be the Community Day for you!

On top of that within the realm of the SDN and BPX days we've also a SAP Mentors Hands On and a Business Objects Community Hands On (this is not the same as the above mentioned one) track taking place. It's these 4 that I have the agenda almost 100% complete for now.
You can find in the wiki here, and we'll have a few print outs for you on site but we also request that you try to keep an electronic version to save on paper, the less we print the better (even when it's on recycled paper). Remember you can also click the little "envelope" icon and any changes to this page will be emailed to you automatically. It'll be changing a lot in the next 2 to 3 days as we finalize the sessions. The SDN Day ones and the Mentor's Hands On should be place in the next couple of hours!
