<p>I love your work Adam. I think this parenting policy is really
good, and very mature considering how quickly you have pulled it
together.</p>
<p>I can see it being used as a template by other conferences that
follow us, (and hence encourage you to add a reference to it when
you are done from our FOSS4G Cookbook so people can find it).</p>
<p>I've added some suggestions, mainly along the lines of
simplifying, using positive language, and stating intent rather
than rules. (With complex systems, such as children, it is usually
better to state intent and let people use their common sense, as
you can never write enough rules to cover every situation).<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi movers and shakers
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Since we’ve more or less decided to create a child friendly
conference rather than fund childcare, we need some words
around how we expect this will work.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ve cobbled something together here:</div>

</div>
<div>…which has commentary already from people in the Maptime
Australia slack group; and includes suggestions from a very
brief discussion on the foss4g-oceania-discuss list.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you want to add comments but can’t, please let me know.
I’ve just smashed out what i think there, I’ll also go looking
for any ‘lessons learned’ documents from people who have run
‘child friendly’ conferences in the past (and would appreciate
hearing about any you know of).</div>

<div>Cheers</div>
