#openui5

We switched our OpenUI5 communication from tumblr to the SAP Community. Our blog posts can be found there with tags #ui5official and #openui5. There, we have the functionality for comments, links, likes and sharing, enabling us to be in closer contact with the OpenUI5 community.

Our decision to move our communication is based on the success with our UI5er's Buzz blog series: We aim for a more lively and closer interaction with the community and are happy to receive your direct feedback.

This tumblr blog will remain in archived mode. Our Web presence will stay on openui5.org, just this blog was moved. We're currently re-working our homepage to give it a fresh look and feel. Other established areas, such as the OpenUI5 release downloads, will be kept as well, of course.

See you soon on the SAP Community!
