Re: News Drop! Community Training Progress, GDevCons
Hello LabVIEW Darlings,
Interesting times are coming and I'm feeling positive.
Back in July we had an excellent trip to GDevCon NA and where we joined 100 other LabVIEW programmers, and I know I'm biased but what a lovely bunch of people they are. I thoroughly enjoyed Denver!
September was Europe's turn and GDevCon Eur in Glasgow was to my eye a massive success. 180 people from 23 countries and 76 companies. It felt like a large conference this time and that filled me with happiness. Lots of younger programmers too and it was nice to see the gender balance amongst the younger generation to be a better representation of the world.
October 24th and 25th brings GDevCon ANZ #1 https://gdevconanz.org.au/
And it's safe to say they have exceeded my high expectations, great job ANZ team!
My estimate is that GDevCons will have 350 attendees in 2023 - which is very cool indeed.
This graph made me smile, from our conference report..
There's a lot of talk about using different programming languages, but an important consideration is: does that language have a pleasant community!
In further community news the community training project is moving apace.
Pico-VISA works brilliantly thanks to the hard work of Derrick! I took all his hard work and made a bad piano.
HW Action: TCP VISA Instrument hosted on a Pico
Derrick is now looking at doing comms through the VISA interface - this will be very cool indeed! Expect more Pico development as we go.
GCentral have enthusiastically agreed to host the VMs and landing site, this is a wonderful fit for this and is my ideal solution... so thanks GCentral, this has made me very happy!
Hosting Action: Complete our hosting agreement (after HW feasibility proven)
Now we just have to do the website work!
We are now building out the material for a Hands-on course, everything will be open-source and available on MIT license. Our GitHub page is here. https://github.com/orgs/LabVIEWCommunityTraining/repositories
If you have course materials sculling around, how about donating them to the cause! We're looking for testers and contributors.
Expect lots of explaining and announcing before the end of year. DM me if you want to help.
In software news I've radically improved performance of the MySQL toolkit queries (RADICALLY!!), will be updating when I get a mo'
I'm very very busy with work and all the above, so sadly the blog will suffer, I think it's worth it tho'.
Getting shit done!
All my love
