Re: [Wikimania-l] Child care
I'm sure this is not a new issue, I remember it coming up at either Gdansk or Buenos Aires and it may not have been new then. I know from surveys and those wikipedians I have got to know well that we underrepresent those who currently have kids, with the greying of the pedia the community may not be as unrepresentative of parents of adult children as we once were, but we don't have many parents of young children amongst our editors. I think this is a gap we should try to fix, I suspect that childcare for the few parents who bring their children would be a service that only a small minority of editors would take up, and that offering such a service in 2016 and future Wikimanias would be something of a statement that the community wants members who have dependent children.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Child care
Unfortunately this is with many other things something we could improve on, but comes at a cost. And while the cost itself is reasonable, it adds up. It would be awesome if Wikimania could become a little more the volunteer conference it is, where people do their bit of what they would like to see happen. If you like to see childcare: great, help organise it! (for the record: Daniel's response was very reasonable in this regard) If you like certain topics on the programme - lets propose it! If you would enjoy different entertainment in the evenings, here's your challenge. In these discussions, and this is a slippery slope argument, we tend to look at the organising team to fix things for us, while on many occasions we can do a lot ourselves. This is a great list for such coordination, by the way.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Child care
We in Cascadia Wikimedians discussed offering child care for some of our events. There are liability reasons for not having simple co-op kinds of childcare in our jurisdiction without appropriate training and insurance, and the same considerations might apply to Wikimania. In principle offering childcare is something that we should do, and where the marginal cost of offering it is reasonable like Wikimania it makes particularly good sense to pay for quality childcare with appropriate insurance. I would encourage WMF to mandate that future Wikimanias include the offering of a certain number of childcare slots with appropriate funding for quality, insured childcare.

Re: [Wikimania-l] Child care
Hi, I have made some calls and looked around for third party childcare in the local area. Unfortunately there are some problems. The timing of the conference doesn't help as most daycare or nurseries are only open during the school term and close in the summer, so there isn't anything local where you could drop kids off for the day. Additionally while it would still be easier to find somewhere to look after children during the day, the evening might present a bit of a problem. To give an idea of cost, one person I spoke to quoted £12.50 per hour, per child. I understand in previous Wikimania's that groups of parents have come together to arrange childcare between them. This will be the best option as they could arrange something where they can say We need x children looked after for x hours. Would you want this organised via the site?

Re: [Wikimania-l] Child care
Having an event creche company is really the only viable option; fortunately there are a few about, tend to be reasonably priced. The only two sticking points are that its currently quite late to be booking such things :) and, we'd need to organise an appropriate room (secure, to keep the kids in and undesirables out).
