We sure are planning on having a Family Day as John pointed out.
We're working on the details of Family Day, but we have a Pizza party
(sponsored by openSUSE and Novell) as well as a plan to have
activities for kids and families alike.  We have several presentations
that should be family friendly as well, so check out the Saturday list
at http://2009.utosc.com/presentation/schedule/.

Other things we're working on:

Treasure Hunt with GPS for families.
Lego building contest at Ignite 3.5 (we'll hopefully be able to steal
them for the rest of the weekend)
Try-It Lab Workshop for families on Saturday morning

Hope that helps.  I'm looking forward to seeing all of my friends from
Fedora at UTOSC 2009.

Thanks for the support.

Cheers,

Clint
