Announcing the SCN Topic Leaders 2011-2012
As the Olympics have come to an end, we know the community needs the excitement to continue, and what is more exciting than the announcement of SCN’s Topic Leaders 2011-2012!
Every year, in August, we recognize the Top 3 contributors – Topic Leaders – in SCN point categories. The launch of the new SCN is special and although that happened in the middle of the contest (March 2012), we still wanted the community to be recognized for their contribution points in the 43 old point categories. We looked at your contributions in the old SCN point categories as well as in the new SCN topic spaces and mapped them all to the same point categories.
We know the community has been patiently waiting and we are excited to announce the Topic Leaders for 2011-2012!

Patrick has scored a lot of points on SCN but has been kind enough to give room for other people to be recognized as Topic Leaders in the NetWeaver area. |

Congratulations! I’ll be reaching out to you to send you the certificate per email and see if you plan to attend TechEd. Unfortunately, there will be no free pass.
New categories:
We added 3 new categories in key strategic areas that have shown a lot of popularity (Cloud, Developer Center, and HANA). We wanted to highlight areas that are established trends, important to the community and strategic to SAP. As you know, because they are fairly new, these topics wouldn’t have been singled out if we hadn’t created new point categories for them.
The benefits:
Additional recognition and certificates are one thing, but I know that most of you are waiting for something more tangible, something valuable in your daily activities. With a new, more social SCN, we have opportunities to make your engagement fun and help you grow your expertise and showcase it in the community and outside as well. I will be working with my new manager Laure Cetin to introduce extensive game mechanics later this year. This will change the way people are rewarded for their contributions on SCN, and you can also expect changes in how we recognize Topic Leaders, experts in their fields. More information will come soon in a series of blogs as we kick off the project.
Congratulations to all for their contributions and thanks to the team for their appreciation!
Regards,
Heartiest congratulations to everyone for being recognized as Topic Leaders 2011-2012.
Thank you SCN team for putting efforts to recognize our efforts… 🙂
Congratulations everyone! It's good to see some new names up here. I think everyone should check out their areas of interest and get familiar with these people's contributions, if they are not already.
Laure
Hope this time, the certificate would be with members' photo, as you indicated sometime back.

G. Lakshmipathi

Congratulations to all too contributors, and many thanks to
Laure Cetin and Richard Lin. It would be nice to see the criteria used to create the ranking. Is there a post where you explain it?
Best,
Anderson
Hi Anderson,
The criteria are number of points in the area in question (for blogs, documents, forum helpful and correct answers, etc)
The areas listed here are the old point categories, and anyone contributing in these areas today in the new SCN was also included.
Let me know if you have any other question.
Best,
Laure
Hearty Congratulations to all the experts
Special Congratulations to our Finance team, Murali, Ajay and Atif 😉
Keep up the good work

HI Richard Lin ,
Thank you for the publish of the list of Topic Leaders for 2011-12. Congratulation to all the topic leaders for this achievement.
I have one query, can we get the total point of old and new point categories? Because I am seeing in 'Business Process Management' , one name is there, who is not in top 25 in present point table. But make in to second position in total point.. So we want know to how much point they got giving due respect to all . Just for interest.
Hi Anjan,
Sorry for the delay in addressing your question.
We also included wiki points in the totals, so if you wonder why a name is in the top 3, it's probably because you are not aware of the breadth of their wiki contributions. As you know you don't see wiki contributions in someone's user profile.
Let me know if that helps, if not we can discuss offline and I can provide more details.
Best,
Laure
Thank You and Congratulations to all the Topic Leaders for 2011-2012. Am happy to see my name in Topic Leaders list for the first time 🙂 and feeling honor to see my name along with SAP Guru Thomas Jung . Thanks to SCN.

Congratulations all topic leaders.
Is there a location where a SCN member can see the top 10 contributors and points on each area?
Paul
Hi Paul,
No there is nothing at the moment but we're working to reintroduce leaderboards on SCN. It's an ongoing project so stay tuned!
Laure
Hi Laure Cetin
Any Update on "extensive game mechanics" which you are suppose to Introduce last year end.
Also let us know about what additional features that are coming up this year ...
Hi Sujit,
SCN gamification will be launched soon in April. Please read Chip Rodger's blog about what to expect. More infos will come soon!
Best,
Laure
Hi Richard & Laure Cetin
Did you make the decision if this program continues in 2013 also ? Or do we only have gamification now and we don't do yearly sum ups?
Thank you for the info,
Regards,
Michal Krawczyk
Hi Michal,
Yes we're planning to recognize the Topic Leaders again this year. I just wrote a short blog to inform the community and explain that we need to make some changes due to gamification, but the recognition will still be based on points.
Stay tuned,
Laure
Hi Laure,
How can I add topic leader badge to my profile which i earned for the year 2012.
Rgds
Murali. N
I think it's not possible. Because gamification was launched on April 2013.
Badges will be added as per the mission requirements.
Hi,
Have seen that badge in some one's profile.
That's why I'm asking.
rgds
Murali. N
you must mix this with the survey where a badge is available for 2012.
Laure,
Please leave it.
Sorry for the confusion
