Writing a non technical blog post is twice as hard as writing a tech. post
😞 😞 . Kudos to all those people who write those wonderful stuff
🙂 . But I got some super secret advice from
nabheetscn and here I am with this post
😛
So this was my second time attending the TechEd but this time it was more exiting and fun compared to the first. The main difference is that I met a lot of awesome folks there which made my experience at TechEd an awesome one
🙂 🙂
and now I decided to give a
shout out blog post to all those people who made myTechEd a Fun Learning event
😄 <No Technical or Event updates>
My journey started a day early at the Influencers reception party, I am not one of them
😜 but was lucky to get an invite thanks to
nabheetscn and
katarina.fischer 🙂 🙂 It was an awesome party and I met some wonderful people over there. I had an awkward moment there when I spilled the beer ?? and I was not even drunk ???
So the first Community person that I met and who is a friend & a mentor thanks to SAP Community - "Connecting Tech Guys
😉 " is
nabheetscn. He introduced me to the CAP world and now I am hooked to
dj.adams.sap HandsOnDev videos
😛
Talking about CAP, I met some of our CAP Celebs there
dj.adams.sap iinside mariusobert
and I also met
dj.adams.sap at multiple occasions at TechEd mostly at his sessions and Developer Garage (Too many people over there, so I had to skip dev. garage
😞 ) He was always warm and welcoming whenever he finds us(Nabheet, Gaurav, myself) at the event
🙂 .
Quiz conducted by
dj.adams.sap and
iinside is probably the most crowded sessions
🙂 🙂 . Lucky, I attended them both:) But not lucky enough to win
😄 😄
There was a also a small fight at his session
😛 - "Static Electricity VS DJ Adams" (at his functional programming session
😄 ) and DJ Adams with his mighty FP sword ended up as the winner
😛
Nabheet also introduced me some awesome community folks
gaurav.karkara3 vijay.sharma4 and
sachinnagal. I follow them by their blog posts and QA in the community. I attended a lot of sessions with them in the next three days at teched. It was my pleasure meeting you guys.
(Myself, Nabheet, Sachin)
Then I met
krishnakishor.kammaje2 whom I used to follow from a long time and still find his blog posts or answers whenever I search for my issue
🙂 . I also met him multiple times at TechEd and had a conversation with him about Fiori launchpad and plugins and ended up with so many questions and doubts
😛 which I've to now explore
🙂 🙂 .
(Krishna, Myself, Gaurav, Vijay & nabheet)
Almost forgot!!, so practically the first person I met was Suhair, couldn't find his community id. He, nabheet and I had some of our little adventures at TechEd where we were treated like VIP's
😉 😛 It was really nice meeting you Suhair!! I really enjoyed your demo on Intelligent Enterprise & RPA which gave a holistic view of SAP's Intelligent Enterprise.
Now moving on to TechEd, next 3 days were busy attending sessions, coding & meeting people. There I met
sumit.kundu2, The Fiori guy, I know from SAP Community via his blog posts and answers and also
mahesh.chandra . We even got some pics together! Nice meeting you two!!
(Mahesh, Sumit, Vijay & Myself)
There I met
4531036343574b30abbe272b3efec8ff and his wife. Both are SAP Technical and attending session together
🙂 . I follow his UI5/Fiori QA contributions in the community, always there is something new to learn from him !!.
Didn't know he was attending and so it was a surprise for me to find him there
🙂 Glad to meet you guys!! BTW they won XBOX One at teched, amazing right!! I had a photo with them as well.
So the next amazing person to meet was
kgokara. Again I met him at several occasion at TechEd but sadly I didn't take a pic with him
😞 ...
Thanks to you I met some awesome people from Fiori elements teams, Saurabh Singh &
prasita.prabhakaran . Kishore and I had a very good discussion with them regarding the current Fiori Elements templates, Future ODataV4 Fiori elements(sap.fe) template , sap cards and OVP. It was much better than the regular sessions that I've attended
🙂
I got to meet
craig.cmehil at his session about community. I didn't have any discussion with him, just a selfie
🙂 but surely he left a lasting impression on everyone who attended the session about his "Ring Community Story" and with his quote => see the below pic
🙂
sainaresh037 &
dhanasupriya1498 are amazing community folks that I got to meet at teched.
It was the last day and I look so much awkward and tired
😄 😄
I also met our November member of the month there.
sudip.ghosh4, another amazing community member and contributer. It was nice meeting you Sudip!!
More fun was with my old colleagues & friends there at TechEd, pradeep , Sunil & Mahesh(another one). Mahesh had to stand near by lecture sessions most of the time as he was part of the organising team
😄 But we enjoyed there by talking about the old times at our first company "Yash Technologies" . It was awesome meeting you guys!!!
I met many other amazing people over there, please comment If i missed any (I blame my poor memory ).
It was nice meeting you all and hope to meet you folks soon in the next TechEd
😉
Thanks,
Mahesh
