As the year is coming to an end many people tend to sit down and reflect on the past months and make plans or new year resolutions. For those of us in IT or more precisely for those of us making a living in the enterprise software business it has been a content-packed year again. Lots of announcement, lots of buzz, lots of information! No doubt about it – technology innovation is a trending topic!

Just before 2010 is coming to its end and everybody is about to wrap up and prepare for the holiday season some of the SAP Mentors have teamed up to release the first episode of the Mentor Quarterly magazine.

It’s been in the making for a while and as such all the contributors of the first episode are very happy to finally being able to share what we’ve been working on for so long. It’s only the beginning and  - as the name suggests – we plan to release new episodes on a quarterly schedule. So, without further ado – check out the 1st episode here.

There’s so much happening in that high signal space that is the SAP Mentor program and the extended community (aka friendly wolf-pack) that I take it as a good opportunity to wrap-up some of that experience in another episode of my corresponding blog series.

Having been around on SCN for a while and being a regular at the SAP TechEds I could not help, but noticing this group within the SAP ecosystem. For those who know (and maybe follow) them, they look omni-present in the SAP space and especially in the twitterverse. Being a global group of dedicated individuals with a wide range of expertise and skills and a commonly-shared attitude for open communication clearly results in an impressive activity stream. Being a newbie mentor I only now start to realize “how deep the rabbit-hole goes” and the constant flow of incoming tweets talking about the mentor magic is truly fascinating. I knew I’d be in for the ride of my life, but let me tell you – I had no idea!

Here’s my humble attempt to digest some of it by sharing it with you…
