LabView User Group in Ottawa, ON

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

JoeLabview along with another local integrator and myself are planning to start a LabView user group in Ottawa.

This would be solely organized and run by LabView users in the Canadian capital region. We plan on inviting the local NI sales rep to the meetings but we also plan on keeping these meetings from becoming NI sales pitches.

As for location we will be checking with the local universities and colleges for class room availability.

As for timing we are still debating time of day and frequency. Your input is welcome!

We were planing on picking one or two topics per meeting each presented by one of the user group members (not necessarily us :) ). This could be anything from 'Tips & Tricks', in-depth discussion of features (e.g. 'Project Explorer', 'X controls', 'Libraries', 'LVOOP'), to case studies (i.e. how do you use LabView).

The whole idea is to get the local LabView community talking to each other, share experiences and ideas, and hopefully to learn something new every time.

I am posting this here to judge interest in this kind of 'user-run' user group.

Please post a relpy or email me if you are interested.

Cheers,

Hi Heiko -

Thanks for pushing forward with this. A technical forum and networking community here in Ottawa would be excellent. I will gladly take part and contribute; I think modest expectations for numbers are in order, but I know of some very skilled and active developers in the area that could hopefully be coaxed into taking part.

It's always good to meet with other people that enjoy coding with LV...

Meetings could be as formal or informal depending on purpose.. We're thinking of covering advanced topics with an open forum, where everyone participates, thus exchange of ideas. As for informal meetings, we could have "get togethers" at places like "The Works". They have private dining areas for small groups (~10). I'm sure we all have "beer dinking LV stories" ;)

As Heiko mentionned, "we also plan on keeping these meetings from becoming NI sales pitches".
