Before I jump right into a fistful of SAP Land news, let me announce that This Week in SAP is going to have a little summer break. I will be back during week 2 in September (ish).

Yesterday, I quite enjoyed this Certification related Dilbert. Those who follow the Certification 5 output will know what I’m on about…

• Two Tribes: CIO’s Thomas Wailgum comments on the TomorrowNow saga, Vinnie Mirchandani expects more battles ahead.
• Dennis Moore sees SAP skills (amongst others) on the rise.
• Craig Cmehil announces Innovation Weekend @ SAP TechEd 2010
• come and hang out with some SAP geeks at SAP Inside Track Bangalore. The afternoon has some Certification 5 content, presented virtually by C5 members from all around the global.
• The C5 have also now launched a survey project, please forward this to all SAP related consultants you know. A link to the blog is here. The survey itself can be found here.
• Simplify SAP by culling custom code. As useful and valid this article is, I find that most of the client I work for already adhere or are aware of most of these points.
• if it wasn’t for anything else, we might remember the last few days as the week when “Google Wave waved good-bye”
• Uwe Fetzer aka @SE38 must have turned down all BBQ and pool party invites and wrote Twibap instead, the ABAP Twitter API. Excellent stuff!
• Helmuth Guembel (SAPience2010) with some critical remarks regarding SAP’s actions to prevent 3rd party support providers from making inroads.

No Twitter updates this week, folks…
