With a tie of 8 likes each, we have two presenters for the next meeting:

Presenter: Allen Smith

Title: Unfunded Liabilities:  How Poor Package Design Drives Technical Debt, and What You Can Do About It

Description: As software applications grow in size and complexity, they require a larger unit of organization than the VI, class, or library.  Organizing our software into packages is important to long term success, but package design is an oft-overlooked aspect of system development in the LabVIEW community.  The result can be an application that is increasingly resistant to change, or even prematurely obsolete.  Come to this session to learn the principles of good package design, and some metrics and tools you can use to guide your own development.

Presenter: Chris Cilino

Title: Automating Build Processes for Source Based on VIPM

Description: The process of moving from "Code and Fix" to professional software development usually entails continuous integration of some sort. At Cirrus Logic, we are in the middle of that evolution. To take us to the next level, I've designed a prototype build system that automates the creation of VIPs from libraries of code that are hierarchical in nature. I intend on publishing this system to the community at some point in the future and will design it to be extensible so that other distributions, such as exes, dlls, llbs, can be created.

We will be updating register information, in the following days.

The presentations that didn't make it, will be copied on the next call for presentations for our next meeting.

Regards,

Fab
