Been there, seen it, done it, and got the t'shirt - and SCN Gamification

[petr_solberg]

Good morning Slackers in the Coffee Corner,

I just had a funny idea which I'd like to share 🙂

We all know the common phrase,

     "been there, seen that, done that, got the t'shirt"

SCN Gamification is fun isn't it.

SCN Gamification involves collecting badges.

SCN Gamification Badges are visible in SCN Member's profiles.

Question, food for thought:

     What about making the SCN Gamification Badges "t'shirt" shaped

     Wouldn't that be fun

     Then we could say, as part of the Gamification missions,

          have you got that t'shirt ?

Ok, looking forward to all feedback, good and bad.

Tin hat on.

All the best,

Andy.

p.s. only joking with the Slackers comment, I know, everybody in the Coffee Corner is working

very very hard.

of course with ground color green for "answer hero"

Brown colored T'shirts  for "coffee corner" - junkies are on sale right now

[Steffi_Warnecke · Accepted solution]

Oh, I've seen them, too! You mean these two, right?

[petr_solberg · Accepted solution]

nice Jurgen,

I only have one of these:

ok I have another, a black one saying,  I'm blogging this on SCN

old trophies 🙂

Andy.

Hi Steffi,

cool 🙂

Andy.

[Steffi_Warnecke · Accepted solution]

Thanks. ^^ I "found" another one in the shop:

Now THAT's a great shirt.

I am still wearing it at home   http://scn.sap.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/38-87641-235272/P1080867S.JPG

1/2 K member   - long time ago - even funny to be remembered that one started small too.

And even more funny because it is growing with me. I am sure that I had much less weight at that time

[petr_solberg · Accepted solution]

ok, this is one for Jason,

I get UnAuthorized when I click your link 😞

you're right though, the t'shirts they gave out in the early days were quite small

I remember all the forum discussions of people saying where's my t'shirt and Craig answering saying we're working on it

those were the days

The picture is actually in an unpublished blog, I just thought it is possible to access the pic via the direct link.

my bad.

[petr_solberg · Accepted solution]

I'm not sure what to say  

Andy.

[Steffi_Warnecke · Accepted solution]

And you look sooo proud!

But I don't get the text, I think. Did you get the t-shirt, when SDN had their 500th member? Or what does it mean?

[JL23 · Accepted solution]

1/2 K = 500 points, Steffi

are you sooo young? never heared about the Y2K

Attachments and pictures inserted inherit the permission of the content. So, if it's a draft, so is anything on it.

[Steffi_Warnecke · Accepted solution]

I know Y2K (and even Y2J), but 1/2K was new (at least I got the 500 part right). So it's an appreciation for collected POINTS. Well well... ^^

I think, my idea for the GEM-users wasn't so far off then.

[marilyn_pratt]

Hmm.....I'm laughing a little because this idea would have come in handy years ago when we realized that sending those 1/2 K tee-shirts to various destinations around the world was an unmanageable task.  Just ask about keeping up with the complaints about undelivered shirts in certain geographic locations.

But instead, we launched the Points for Food program to de-emphasize the concept of "getting schwag" and to highlight the concept of giving for giving sake.  The point accumulation was used to help fund school programs around the world through the UN and was a very popular idea at the time.

"BANGALORE, India - November 28, 2007 - SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced a

ground-breaking new recognition program for members of the SAP® Developer

Network (SDN) and Business Process Expert communities. Beginning January 1,

2008, community member participation will be rewarded with a donation to the

United Nations World Food Programme’s Food for Education. The new approach to

rewarding participation is a direct result of community member feedback

indicating a strong interest in a more socially conscious rewards program. The

announcement was made at SAP® TechEd ’07 Bangalore, being held in Bangalore,

India from November 28-30."

This evolved into a new program in 2011 : http://scn.sap.com/community/about/blog/2011/05/13/new-scn-community-social-responsibility-initiativ...

So now we are back to tee-shirts...what happened to socially conscious rewards programs?

[petr_solberg]

Hi ,

this is my fault, I have failed.

The point of this is, in the SCN Gamification, to change the cuty cute little badges icons that we all have on our Bio/Profile pages into even cuter t'shirt shaped icons, so that the badge for each mission is a t'shirt shaped icon, which would be even more fun because then, we could say,

     been there, seen that, done the mission and got the (cute) t'shirt (icon badge thing)

My new best friend was very kind and expressed my words as a picture,

how's that for teamwork:

    

My failure in this respect is, I should have opened this as a blog and not a discussion, because had this been a blog I could have edited it, and made the subject more clear, but I opened it as a discussion because I just wanted a quiet discussion with the slackers cool people  in the Coffee Corner rather than trumpeting this as a blog.

Lessons learned 🙂  Next time a blog.

I totally agree with the points for aid programme.

All the best,

Andy.

Points for food, now that sounds great! But that was for 2011. Maybe there is a chance to start the same thing for 2014 and make it a tradition for every year from now on?

Or maybe something like that is already in planing? probably would know or could comment on the possibilities.

[petr_solberg]

Hey Steffi,

in the space of a week we have gone from Poems for Points to Points for Food, who'd have believed it 🙂

Andy.

[Steffi_Warnecke]

Everythings possible in the Coffee Corner!

[former_member46]

Totally true Marilyn!!

I would be the one whom everyone approached when their shirt did not arrive fast enough, in the right size etc. There was no one more thrilled than I when we moved to Food for Points! Besides it being a most worthy cause.

However I do need to give kudos to Steffi, I love her shirts and they are one size fits all

[ThomasZloch]

I remember somebody once suggesting decoration along the lines of...

Pretty neat, no?

[former_member181931]

I would love to have such a program again in the community. But I'd like to toss the ball back to who has the contacts and the passion for these kinds of project. The question is: Does she have time? Maybe after TechEd?

Laure 😉

[marilyn_pratt]

Yes. Have some ideas that I'm kicking around ..... would be a part of that story as would and Doctors Without Borders.

Post Teched for sure.

Stay tuned.

[RafkeMagic]

I've been waiting since mid August... I guess our "tiny, little" country is not on the mailing list 😉

[petr_solberg]

ok, ok, we need to bring this back on track, the t'shirts look great, but the main point is,

on all of our SCN User Bio/Profile pages, we can see the gamification badges which we have accrued

and the point of this discussion is to table the motion, that the icons used for the badges, the cuty cute likkle pictures used for the gamification badges are replaced with even cuter t'shirt shaped pictures

so that then, people can say, they have the t'shirt for this mission and that mission

Andy.

[Steffi_Warnecke]

Yes, sorry... got carried away there. ^^ Here is your updated profile for underlining your request:

And you're right. They ARE cute(r)!

I'd like a shirt, too. I'm still working on securing the Data Geek-thingy, but I haven't come up with a new idea for the challenge yet, since my last one fell flat due to no available data.

[petr_solberg]

Steffi,

u r da man

excellent

that's exactly what I mean't

luv the cut of the t'shirts too

like, like and double like

Andy.

[Steffi_Warnecke]

You're welcome. That little distraction helped me clear my head and thus another problem is solved now. *g*

[JasonLax]

Maybe we can then rename "Missions" to "Missions Closet" and add some virtual hangers.  Me in 3 would become current wardrobe.

[petr_solberg]

Hi Jason,

you got it 🙂

But have you got the t'shirt ?

Andy.
