Children
Nobody wants to exclude young people or their parents, but if kids are disrupting the workshop, their parents need to take them out of the space. If several parents are present, one of them could volunteer to facilitate a kids' space. Nobody present at the meeting was planning on bringing kids, so nobody was allocated to this role.

Cost
- £31 per person, including food and camping

Roles
We agreed that everyone who comes to the event should expect to contribute work during the event, but we need some coordinators to make sure that delegation happens when spontaneity falls short.

Types of workshop
People suggested these types of workshop:
- Show & Tell
- Discussion-based
- Blatant self-promotion
- Lecture
- Task-based (we are going to set up a crab-face group)
- Practical (this is how you use a piece of software)
- BarCamp (including show & tell) will need super facilitation and consent from everyone to be on-time and on-task
We then talked about it and reached a decision: We will have 6h barcamp & 8h practical
