LabVIEW Friends in the North of Britain,

With great pleasure we are announcing the pilot meeting of our user group!

When: 15 May 2024 Postponed  6th June 2024 

Where: Northumbria University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne

Special thanks go to Dr. Cecil Cherian Lukose from Northumbria University who has helped us secure the space. We can't wait to see you there!
We will have special guests from NI and Farnell so look no further for a great newtworking and knowledge sharing opportunity.

Update: This meeting is being postponed!
We realised with all the involvement we were hoping for, the initial May date for this meeting was a bit short notice, so we are working with Northumbria University to move it to the first week of June, more news to follow!

Dear all,

The date for our user group meeting has been updated! We secured a room at Northumbria University in the Ellison building for the 6th June late afternoon. The eventbrite registration page is soon to follow with exact details. Keep an eye out here and on LinkedIn for extra info.
See you soon!

Woohoo! We have a preliminary agenda. Check it out below, but remember, it is not set in stone, so if you want to contribute, there is still space.

Preliminary NOBLUG00 agenda:

• NOBLUG and HSE Introduction (Ioan)
• NI News: New software strategy and roadmaps
• Farnell Introduction (Steve Willoughby)
• LabVIEW from zero to hero: An introduction (Ioan)
• The Wizardry of LabVIEW and the Imagination of What’s to Come (Tom McQ.)

One more valuable addition to our agenda for next Thursday! @Thoric will talk about adding right click tools in LabVIEW.

Is the exact location for today's event known please? I don't think I've seen a communique with the address on it other than "Northumbria University".

Edit: Thanks Ioan. Room ELA001 (ground floor), Ellison Building (Block A), Northumbria Uni.

My presentation on Creating Custom Right Click Menu Plugins was compressed into purely a demonstration, to save time. 

I've attached here the slides we didn't see, and the "Hide All Scrollbars" plugin we created.
To test it, unzip the contained folder "NOBLUG.llb" into this folder "C:\Users\<youraccount>\Documents\LabVIEW Data\PopupMenus\edit time panel and diagram"

Remember to restart LabVIEW, especially after any adjustments to the VIs.

[Steve.Willoughby]

Great to meet you all yesterday! Sorry we weren't able to stay for your presentation Richard.

[ioanp]

Really happy about yesterday's event! Thank you all for participating, Steve thank you for the pizza, and a great big thanks to those who presented, Jono, Steve, Tom, Richard! If there is something I already learned from this event is that we need to keep on track with presentation timings so that we won't have to miss out on the great content our participants prepared.
We are looking forward to growing our community, get more great content presentations in, now that we have broken the ice.
If you have any feedback for us, please share as we want this LUG to only get better for everyone!
