<p>I agree with option 3. Provide an environment where we are
accepting of people's family environments. Make small concessions
where is it easy to do so. Something like: Kids attend for free.
We hope they will be on good behaviour, but accept they kids are
unpredictable and that parents might need to move them out of a
session if the kid become distracting. We can facilitate
discussions between parents who want to cover for each other. Lets
not over think or over-architect this. I'd also say that we are
going for a low budget conference, and I don't think we should
priortise expensive childcare (option 1) over say travel grants. <br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We need to assess interest in childcare
assistance at FOSS4G SotM Oceania. A few models are
possible:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- full time care (needs $$), which
might suit parents of small humans who need to be dropped
off for the day (or two) so that parents can conference
like a boss<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- part-time care (also needs $$), for
parents who want to drop little humans off for, say, a
morning session<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- child-friendliness (less $$), means
that that big humans are tolerant of little humans being
in sessions, being breastfed, being around. It also means
that big humans who bring little humans need to be
respectful of the conference in general, ie exit sessions
as needed to help everyone else enjoy the conference (this
is the likely model I will use, since my small humans will
be 8 and 9.5) and respect the limits of their small
humans’ endurance for being stuck in conference sessions.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Things to consider:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- legal issues. If we organise
childcare, it will likely need to be done by paying a
provider. That covers us all for any legal issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- cost issues. Doing the above is
expensive. We’ve got some quotes, but need to refine
interest in using childcare and get better quotes!<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">- general support. Are we happy as a
unit to pause talks etc briefly to let parents escape if
need be? Are we able as a group to look out for, and be
tolerant of, small humans as we get around?<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is that a reasonable set of stuff to
discuss? Happy to hear your thoughts<o:p></o:p></p>
