This yearly tradition brings together all your best online (and real-life!) friends from LAVA (LabVIEW Advanced Virtual Architects), OpenG (home of LabVIEW's open source community), and even the leaders in NI LabVIEW R&D. Come enjoy great barbecue with great people away from the hustle & bustle of the convention floor.

I might have problem getting my curent employer to send me there every year , so I think I'll have to skip this year and aim for 2012.

[Val Brown]

I'm planning on it.

No NIWeek for me this year. Sigh...

Darn! We are going to miss you, Cat.

I'll be there as always.

Unacceptable.

[Cat]

Darn! We are going to miss you, Cat.

I'll miss all of you, especially hanging with the Chick Posse (that means you, too, Norm )

Unacceptable.

I agree!

However, since I'm not really sure yet if I'm even going to have a paycheck starting Monday, this probably isn't a good time to bring it up with my boss....

?!?!

?!?!

US Fed gov't shutdown. But, there's yet another Continuing Resolution, so I have a paycheck for at least another week.

Otherwise I'd be traveling to Michigan looking for a LV job.

Let me know when you're in town

[calico]

I'm new here, but I definitely would like to join! I'm actually a Labview newbie as well, but hopefully I will have some decent experience under my belt by the time NI week rolls around. I miss Austin BBQ. Nothing in Houston comes close =(.

Last year was my first NI Week and LAVA BBQ definitely worth it.


So any news on ticket sales?

Jason

[iyeager]

I'll be there, I think I owe at least half of you guys a beer for fixing my stuff so much over the past few months.

[Norm Kirchner]

Count me in, and I guess I'm being DNatt's ticket gofer and +1 him too.

Same place again eh? We starting a tradition or getting lazy?

Michigan??!!! Pfffft, Austin baby, Austin

[crelf]

Yes, and yes.

Seriously though, there just aren't that many places within walking distance of the ACC that could accomodate us. The general consensus at last year's BBQ (which may have been fuelled by beer) was that it was good and that we should have it there again this year.
