22:28.24*** join/#utos lcafiero (~lcafiero@adsl-99-163-5-114.dsl.pltn13.sbcglobal.net)
22:28.29GarethCongrats! :)
22:28.35herlohe's not home from the hospital yet, so we're looking forward to that.  Maybe in a week or two
22:28.39lcafieroOh, no. Here come those California guys
22:28.42herlolol
22:28.50Garethhah
22:29.13Garethherlo: so lcafiero and I were just chatting....he said you guys were doing a family day of sorts at UTOSC?
22:30.11herloyeah
22:30.16herlowe do it every year
22:30.27lcafierohopes he didn't give away a UTOSC secret
22:30.31lcafiero:-)
22:30.48GarethAh okay.  mind chatting about it a bit?  We were considering something similiar for SCALE....
22:30.53lcafieroGareth and I were talking about doing something similar at SCALE
22:30.54herlonotes that he has been less available this year than in years past, but the UTOS core team has been doing a good job covering for him
22:30.58lcafieroYeah, what Gareth said.
22:31.04herloGareth: lcafiero: sure
22:31.36Garethso what does the family guy entail?
22:31.57herloessentially, we set aside 5 hours on Saturday (probably Sunday for you) to have family oriented presentations, family activities and fun things for everyone
22:32.18Garethits been pretty popular?  well attended?
22:32.19*** part/#utos nibb13 (~nibb13@206.71.87.254)
22:32.23herloevery attendee can bring their family for these hours free of charge, essentially, they can stay the whole saturday
22:32.47herloyes, we tend to get about 50-100 additional attendees, but we don't register them or anythign, but maybe we should :)
22:32.58Gareththats great!
22:33.05goozbachfamily day rocks!
22:33.09herlonotes his attendance numbers would be about 550+ if he did register the families
22:33.39herlolast year we did a gps treasure hunt, paper airplanes were flown at the same time off the balcony and we did a bzflag tournament
22:33.55Garethvery cool.
22:33.57herlowe also had the wii with guitar hero world tour in another room
22:34.05herlobut frets on fire could be cool there
22:34.43Gareththe idea that we've been kicking around is to have a mini-conference almost-completely organized by kids, with the speakers being all kids as well.
22:37.38lcafierosang "The Joker" by Steve Miller in the guitar hero room :-)
22:38.17Garethlcafiero: *shudder* frightening :)
22:39.30lcafieroActually, there would be a good opportunity to get schools to come on a "field trip" if the mini-con were held on Friday
22:39.39lcafieroOne option tossed around, too.
22:40.01Garethyeah. thats one of the issues that we've been debating....when to have it....either Friday or Saturday....both have their pros and cons.
22:41.27lcafieroRight.
22:42.27lcafieroThere aren't any insurance issues around having kids at your venue, is there, herlo?
22:43.05Garethbrb.
22:47.58herlosorry guys
22:48.06lcafieronp
22:48.46*** join/#utos littleidea (~andrew@70-36-146-117.dsl.dynamic.sonic.net)
22:49.05herlolcafiero: well, we have liability insurance for the three days of the conference and I think the conference venue also does.  Nobody ever asks if kids are there, so I figure it's covered.  NOthing in the insurance docs says they can't be there
22:50.35lcafieroOK.
22:51.10lcafierothat's one of the hurdles that we have encountered at scale -- gareth can talk more than I can about it.
22:51.34lcafierohurdle = reisitance from others in the group :-)
22:51.45lcafieroreisitance = resistance
22:55.02herloaye
22:55.22herlowell, if you have more questions, please feel free to ping me again
22:56.33lcafieroOK -- I don't, but we'll probably talk more about it in October, and I think Gareth's going to come out for UTOSC
22:57.25herlonice!
22:58.19lcafieroYep
22:59.20herlowell, time to head home
22:59.28lcafieroTTYL
23:24.37sontek:)
