brouschPyMI will be held in Sleeping Bear Dunes.12:24
cmaloneySoutheast MI at that12:25
cmaloneybrousch: I wouldn't mind that one iota12:25
cmaloneyHaven't been there since I was a kid12:25
brouschI have a vision of a family-friendly conference in West MI in summer. Bring your spouse and family. They can visit museums, beach, gardens, etc while you geek out at the conference. Wine and beer afterwards12:27
brouschBut it will never happen due to lack of time12:29
cmaloneybrousch: You're already organizing most of west MI12:30
brouschOh no, I only run the GRPUG now12:30
brouschAnd CoNGA-WM, but that's really no work12:30
brouschI do some parts of WMMakers too, but not a lot12:31
brouschBarCampGR12:31
brouschThe biggest problem is it would have to be july/august for the beaches, and those months are full of conferences already12:32
cmaloneyyeah12:35
_stink_brousch only runs one thing, plus three other things12:39
brouschYes, much lighter load than I used to have, which is good because my work situation changed to not allow me to do as much during the day12:40
brouschWe could think about doing it during ArtPrize, but it would have to be in Holland or farther away12:45
brouschcmaloney: Are you still tight with your Alma Mater?12:45

cmaloneybrousch: orly?13:00
jrwrenbrousch: awesome! are your kids not in school?13:01
brouschYes. I promised we would go back to the ford since we couldn't see the village or many regular exhibits at makerfaire. And I said we'd visit the science center when it re-opened, and we're supposed to go to the zoo each year, but we didn't go last year13:02

DrDaemonEyeActually, I cut through the waterhill neighborhood, as I am in North Waterhill.17:34
jrwrenDrDaemonEye: i was picking my daughter up from summer camps downtown at 5pm a few weeks ago and that part was terrible17:34

brouschCan't you guys force a small ubuntu touch phone?19:53
jrwrencscheib: bummer!19:53
jrwrenbrousch: hahahahaha. NO!19:53
jrwrenbrousch: and, the ubuntu phones are small. They are the 4" size IIRC19:53
brouschWell what good is knowing all of these Canonical people if they have no power?!19:54
brouschFirefox phones are small, and cheap19:54
jrwrenbrousch: i sometimes ask myself, what good is working for Canonical if I have no power. :)19:55
brouschWell there's always the money19:58
jrwrenbrousch: bah, I can get that stuff anywhere :)20:03
rick_h_we have some power, just not in the places most folks want us to :P20:35
dzhoseems to me in the handheld space, everyone has been swinging for the bleachers of phones, instead of trying to get some solid baseruns with non-cell tablets.23:41
dzhoif I could buy a just-turn-off-the-gps-and-rms-might-even-use-it free tablet that could be great.23:42
dzhothere are RFY wifi routes, so it would be off to the races for all the other work that would need to be done on these.23:43
