[ubuntu-us-mi] Western MI meetings?

[Marc Zuverink]

It seems that this group is solely made up of East-Sider members, when
will any meetings be held in Western MI for us West-Siders who can
make East Side meetings. Feeling kinda left out of the community here
on this side of state.... Would like to contibute but lack of
transportation reliable enough to drive 3+ hours makes it a bit
difficult and frustrating.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being
overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and
sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the
privilege of owning yourself. - Nietzsche

Awesome, it looks like there is some interest in a West-side event!

I'm working in the NE Grand Rapids area until August. I'd be happy hear
about a meeting in this area.

I think you both answered and asked your question in one sentence.

The group is made up of people who (mostly) live out East because of the
way the state population density is made up. Thank and the big
Universities and the Big 3 (and related companies) for being over here;
they pay many of us geeks to live on the East coast.

With that said, I am, and always have been, in favor of people setting up
meetings out on the west coast of Michigan. I just can't be the person to
help plan it.

Marc, would you like to host a release party for Lucid Lynx? Please do
so. I'll help you advertise it on Planet Ubuntu. Talk it up as an event
to gage interest in further Ubuntu-related events in the area (eg:
bug/packaging jams, etc). Then let's work from there.

Best,

Greg

[Dan Pilcheck]

I'd like to toss in my vote for a meet up somewhere on the lil' west coast.

I'll join the crowd and represent the greater Grand Rapids area.

Perhaps Ubuntu-MI, WMLUG and GRLUG could all get together someday
and have a decent turnout / afternoon long mini-fest.

finding a location.

Our release parties on the right coast have been at pubs. No "free
beer", perhaps, but I have found that many folks enjoy a brew. And even
people like me who don't drink can get a Coke and enjoy the company.

what about Founders Brewing,
235 Grandville Ave SW
Grand Rapids, MI 49503
http://www.foundersbrewing.com/

as a meetup location?

In my experience, Grand Rapids Brewing Company is usually a little quieter.

I'm not sure how most facilities serving alcoholic beverages treats
individuals under 21- I know my local brewery (New Holland Brewery) does
allow us to enter at most times, since they also serve and brew their own
non-alcoholic beverages.

Founders and Grand Rapids Brewing are both pretty good choices. Founders is
definitely a lot louder, but it's also a lot closer for me. New Holland
would be far closer yet. Or we could meet at somebody's house that's
centrally located (I have beer on tap, but Zeeland is a little out of the
way from GR).

Works for me. I know Matt. Pleeeeesa make-a some IPA.
There's currently 10 gallons fermenting, 5 gallons of which will be
hooked up through one of these
<http://www.dogfish.com/company/tangents/randall-the-enamel-animal.htm> that
one of my coworkers just built.
I'll probably be having a spring-time get-together at my place soon,
and all local Ubuntu fans are definitely invited.

Ought to have a "Show your ISO at the door" policy. :)

Founders and Grand Rapids Brewing are both pretty good choices.
Founders is definitely a lot louder, but it's also a lot closer for
me. New Holland would be far closer yet. Or we could meet at
somebody's house that's centrally located (I have beer on tap, but
Zeeland is a little out of the way from GR).

I vote for New Holland Brewing, and Matt's house is NOT out of the way
for the GR folks, Zeeland is a lot closer!

Well, I would expect some "normals" to show up too. This wouldn't be a
nerd-only event.

I'm another west coaster! I live in Holland and work on east side GR. I
would love to attend an Ubuntu event but can't promise anything because of a
heafty works schedule, college, and a wife and baby on top of it.

I like a beer but not looking for a party. I'm more into being nerdy. Teach
me something I don't know already and I consider that a good time!

Large snip here:

There are some great places that aren't always bars or pubs... Wealthy
Street Bakery is a great place as well for coffee, wonderful bread and free
wifi.... At night it is pretty empty and a great place to hang out and get
work done. Also in Alger Heights area there is a nice quiet coffee shop w/
free wifi as well...

Just pushing some closer places for me as well as I am also on the West Side

Well, meetings are just people getting together. Beverages and discussion
makes it worthwhile. Anything more involved than that can be a subject of
discussion.

I don't know the area well enough yet to suggest a location.
