Childcare at Rails Conference
The WindyCityRails Conference in Chicago this September 12th is offering daycare thanks to Dana Jones and Ray Hightower. Dana says:
“…having childcare available at conferences, workshops, and other events will be a huge win for families…”
You bet, Dana. You might remember that I needed to bring my daughter to the Voices that Matter: Professional Ruby Conference last November. I was fortunate that she wasn’t yet mobile, and easily entertained. But nowadays, childcare issues often keep me away from events that I’d like to attend. But moms aren’t the only ones with this issue. I saw a few dads bringing their kids to a ruby class I took a couple of years ago.
Making daycare available sets a great tone for the inclusiveness of the rails community. It also sends the message that good programmers include people with commitments away from their computers.
Nice job!
