Wow! When I heard the early rumours on twitter I was happy.
When I saw the blog from Dan McWeeney this morning I was happier.
When I saw the blog on SDN I was estastic.
The official SAP Press Release is here but I think the blogs are more interesting to read.
Blog for food.
This is the best outcome I could have imagined from my little blog I wrote on SDN earlier this year.
Who was I to think that little blog would trigger a program with an outcome as good as this?
I want to say thank you to everyone involved inside SAP that has made this program a reality. This is a much better way to reward the contributions on SDN than T-Shirts and pins. As fun as they are, having kids being able to eat is a much better outcome.
Thanks again and it is great to be a part of a community that has made this central to all they are about.

James,
Thank you for your kind words. All I did was ask the right question at the right time. You guys have put the program into action and for that I am very thankful.
regards,
Nigel
