The LabVIEW Experiment Live! - LabVIEW Podcast
summary
Open source in LabVIEW shows concrete wins and concrete pain: a contributed variant library enables VI↔JSON and underpins AI work, Rolf’s zip DLL powers VIPM, and Bowser gains features from community forks, yet a custom LabVIEW web server works but sees almost no users. Contributors list 106 repositories and someone mentions 107 packages on GitHub, teams of eight use inner source, CI is painful but a GitHub actions Runner for Linux LabVIEW and a Docker test image land soon, while activation and browser diffing remain major friction.
