While I agree with you, Teckids so far was floated as a child-care
programme within DebConf, or I have misunderstood. If that's not the
primary focus of our potential collaboration, then it needs to be
(or should be) approached differently.
I am glad we are talking about this as early as we are, allowing us
to align our expectations.
I find the idea of Teckids charming, as you well know.
However, as we're now talking about a Teckids side track to DebConf
open to DebConf kids, not an event primarily organised for DebConf
kids, I think we'll better approach this from an angle of creating
interest and getting young people involved in Debian from our side.
Could you give me a sentence or two helping me to pitch the idea to
the team? Why would a Teckids workshop benefit DebConf and how could
it help attract young people to our project?
Thanks,
