This is not one of the companies that I might have anticipated open sourcing this type of project. I hope that this helps other LargeCorps begin looking at open source as a reasonable business decision.

I salute SAP for the initiative and hope more follow suit.

Since the project started the developer fought for this internally. Finally they won.

Interesting, I was thinking that SAP might have opened this up to help broaden the base of developers who are comfortable working with their technology. I just assumed that there must be some business logic underlying the move.

I imagine that an open-source javascript project would be a great deal more approachable than proprietary ABAP for developers exploring new career paths.

Yea that's isn't how SAP work. They only want inhouse developers developing on their platforms
