Or “teaching others what you learned this week about not filling any random forms off of the internet and having your father dealing with the consequences” (less popular but *so* useful, might I add, no harms done, still)….

Oui, je crois vraiment que le partage de la passion entre les génération est un devoir, et je sais aussi que souvent, c’est par les “autres” que c’est mieux reçu, malgré tout nos efforts personnels.

Hmm! Sylvain your 13 year old might be able to cash in as a babysitter at these events! All the event needs is a space with a door and some pre booking, activities, parents bring stuff like balls and crayons etc. w/ a rotation of engaged parents. I have always been amazed that hippie and gay pride events always pull off childcare. The parades here even have childcare floats! Very impressive indeed. I am sure people could develop a tool like the ones for billets, where x number of people offer childcare and get matched with x number of kids who need care and this becomes part of the event’s infrastructure.

They are 9, 11 and 13, so maybe it’s easier now than 2 years old…

I might take my oldest daughter to creacamp next week tought, if I can fit it in our busy schedule…

I don’t think I will be presenting this time… but I bet I will NEXT time!
hrmmm… how about using Twitter for activism? ;) Actually I do think it would be a great tool for “take action” type alerts from Amnesty / Human Rights Watch etc..

On the childcare issue: I’m a single mom so this is sometimes an issue for me too. On-site childcare might be a good idea.. perhaps when registering it could be requested and if there is enough interest it could be organized ?

Then again, I could probably bring Ty along and he could present!
“Web 2.0 for kids” or “How to surf the net when you don’t know how to read” … or something ;) (actually he reads pretty good now.. but he sure knew how to navigate his way around when he didn’t!)

I’ll be turning 30 that and helping Mike/Jen buy stolen bikes from the cops.

But maybe I’ll stop by later.

And most probably with my camera.

Three days is not enough to prepare a presentation though. I’ll be pleased to listen and learn.

Thanks for the invite.

I wonder if we arranged for some kind of on-site childcare, these events would be more accessible for parents.
