Pat yourself on the back! NI wins award for its community

[RavensFan]

I had noticed that sometimes the Blue responses already seem to know that the poster is in a given country even though nothing in the message gives that away.  Sometimes the poster will post in English, but the NI person will respond back in Spanish and the conversation will continue in Spanish from there.  I wonder how the NI person knew the person was natively Spanish.

How does the blue NI person know?

Your NI profile (MyNI) will give that away. I think there is some bot running given back all the posts from your area that  are not answered yet.

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to throw in my huge THANKS!!! for being such a great community so that NI could win this award!     Really, I think it is your award!

Not only do you help grow the LabVIEW (or TestStand, CVI, Measurement Studio, DAQ, Instrument Control etc.) community by answering questions on the forum, you also provide valuable feedback to R&D by providing suggestions and uncovering bugs.  For every user that you help become successful by answering their question, many more also learn just by reading your posts!  It's a very positive cycle and I am honored to watch the effects of your work.

Thank you again!

Laura

As for questions about the percentage - it is for the entire forums, not just LabVIEW.  I think if you looked at just LabVIEW the percentage would be much higher.  We don't get as much community activity in some of the other product boards.

If you haven't done so already, you should check out the feature graphic on ni.com!

Thanks,

Laura

Allright, naming and shaming:

 

From Left to Right:

Some NI presenter (unknown by me)

The captain, Norm Kirchner, works currently for NI

Someone (most likely a LabVIEW champion

Jim Kring, LabVIEW champion, OpenG fanatic

Man with the hat, could be Michael Aivaliotis?

Albert Geven, LabVIEW champion, Philips research.

At least they didn't call us a Geek Network, but then again that would not be aliterative.
