Enterprise Geeks Podcast – SAP Community Developer License

by Ed Herrmann on January 25, 2010 at 9:00 am

In big news for the developer community, SAP announced this week the availability of the new SAP Community Developer License. Get the latest scoop here on the Enterprise Geeks as Ed and Thomas put Mario Herger on the hot seat. Mario is on the SAP Technology Standards and Open Source team responsible for the soon available Code Exchange Platform.

This episode was originally planned to cover both the license announcement and the SAP IT Project Roles roundtable with Jon Reed and Leo De Araujo. Both sessions had so much great content, we wanted to make them both available separately in their entirety. Because of this decision, we have split this episode into two separate parts. You can listen to the second half of the episode here.

Dearest eGheads, we need your show ideas. If you have questions, suggestions, or topic ideas for future episodes, give us a shout here. Enjoy!
