Sorry for the absence from the global meeting yesterday and any bad experiences. I want to correct some information, and say more for what I think.
# childcare request information We have 4 or 5 children need childcare. # sitter/children ratio I know zumbi and zumbi’s wife are pleased to help childcare. I’m totally appreciated and welcome for that. However, I consider it is a support not a mandatory job. When I calculate the sitter/children ratio I will take sitters into calculation. # Hiring people Most sitter jobs I google in Taiwan are taking care of 2 children. Also, I consulted a sitter matchmacking company last week. For our case, the company suggested me for hiring 2 sitters. The company also suggest to keep the ratio equal or lower than 1:3. The benefit is the sitters can cover each other. Further, the salary for sitter is only a bit higher than average. I don’t think the sitter/child ratio can be way higher than normal cases. I will keep the ratio below 1:3 I will make sure we think the hiring plan is fine, then I will start hiring. At this moment, I plan to hire 2 people. Besides, I will contact AndrewLee first. # Deliver information To make the communication more efficient, I will attend all the global meetings. For any questions, you can reach me via - email: [email protected] - IRC: gavin or gavinlai - leave questions on wiki https://wiki.debconf.org/wiki/DebConf18/FAQ/Childcare I will response as soon as possible. BTW, thanks to medical wei, nattie, and szlin. They help me a lot!
