[FOSS4G-Oceania] A child-friendly conference - add to/edit words ahead of publicising

[Cameron Shorter]

I love your work Adam. I think this parenting policy is really good, and 
very mature considering how quickly you have pulled it together.

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).

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).
