dhillon-v10 talked (briefly about his proposed project and possibly joining up with the Linux Unified Kernel project [1] to port drivers to Linux.
dhillon-v10 asked the team about providing some perspective on the overall project and with an upcoming alpha release.
dhillon-v10, roadmap and mhall119-lakeland talked through the details to assess what exactly the goal of the project.

mhall119-lakeland and michelle_qimo_4_kids introduced the idea to find a way to include those in our personal relationships with the LoCo, when they have no real interest in computers, linux or open source.
michelle_qimo_4_kids along with some of the other significant others are launching a group for significant others for the following:
- Figure out what *we* can do, as a group, to be a group, but also provide support to the rest of the LoCo.
- Currently kicking around the idea of scrapbooking the loco events.
michelle_qimo_4_kids would ideally like to launch the first get-together at Florida Linux Show.
mhall119-lakeland and michelle_qimo_4_kids reminded that the only rules on the SO group is that there is no gender requirement or expectation.

mhall119-lakeland said that along with the idea of including more significant others in the group, we're talking about setting up a sub-domain site dedicated to family-oriented blogs and forums family.ubuntu-fl.org which would not be about Ubuntu, but a way to keep in touch as friends and families that are connected by the Ubuntu Florida LoCo. Some place where we can all go, brag about our kiddies, keep in touch as friends, seek advice, etc. Especially now that we've had a change to meet spouses, children, etc, we kind of want to keep up. It also serves as another way to get more of the family involved, instead of just the one member who is a computer nerd
michelle_qimo_4_kids wants to keep it locked down, though - to just a members list - to protect the kids, etc.
mhall119-lakeland will work with DanTrevino to get the site setup.
