In the end (the award is very complex) we settled on Saturday 30/hour and Sunday 40/hour with 30 min break for lunch, and as many other breaks as they needed, and a minimum 4 hours shift

Seeing a few parents with prams come by as observers last year showed me there was a need, which was re-emphasised to me when I attended SkudCamp (geek feminist meetup) late last year. Childcare at GovHack Melbourne this year was the result of Lachlan’s hard work. No disrespect to Elena but we didn’t know it was being discussed in Brisbane too!

I think we are finding that as hackathons and conferences are increasingly trying to be more inclusive, that many will come to the same processes and conclusions independently.

It would be nice to acknowledge her.
