As announced here.
During the call, you might like to share your SAP Community story: why you became a member, why you keep participating, etc. Great! Or maybe you want to talk about the past, present, or what’s yet to come. That’s cool too….although if you’re planning on acting like a Scrooge during the call, you may find yourself visited by the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come instead.
Tune in to hear your fellow community members.
