Yesterday's meeting was great! Thanks to all who came.

Special thanks go out to Jim and Tomi for coming from California to visit us and present. Thanks to NI for sponsoring pizza and thanks to Sixclear, they have offered to sponsor food for our next meeting

Here are some extra links for things we discussed yesterday:

• Jim's idea on how Option to Run Executable at the beginning of uninstallation in case you want to vote for it
• Charles mentioned it would be good to be able to errase only the visible broken wires, well there is an idea for that!
• Eli mentioned that Systems Engineering had an Error Handler design, here is a list of Systems Engineering Reference Designs\
• Another great resource is http://www.ni.com/largeapps/

If there is anything else you learned yesterday that you want to share with the group, please feel free to post it here.

Thanks again and see you all at NI Week!

SE has an update on the Structured Error Handler reference design which has not been published yet.  The updated error handling design will be presented at Alliance Day and NIWeek.

Please contact me and include your e-mail address if you have a current application where you would use the error handler deisgn in your development in the next four weeks.
