Not really.  Yes, there is a meeting.  No, there is no Hallowe'en theme.  But there should be.

Because LabVIEW front panels look great in black and orange!

If you absolutely cannot make it to NI for the meeting, we have remote connection options. You may be asked to make spooky Hallowe'en sounds (bumps, rattling chains, random screams in the distance...).

What does this mean?

I won't be at this meeting. I'll be acting in the largest haunted experience in central Texas that night... if y'all want, you can buy tickets so that after the meeting you can all drive out and enjoy the haunt. I promise it will be at least as terrifying as a customer telling you, "And I insist you do this project in LV 8.0."

Thanks, but when I dial the local conference number I’m asked for the Conference ID.

I’m not sure if I’ll get the VoIP working.

I'm going to audaciously attempt to use the join.me app to listen in over 3G while travelling tomorrow... fingers crossed this will work... (thanks, Sixclear, for hosting remote attendees! )
