::There is a constant stream of members moving through the building, working with tools, toxic materials and other dangerous things. This 'hacker flotsam' tends to accumulate - policing any of our available spaces would be a monumental effort, and I don't believe any efforts at making our space friendly for groups of children are sustainable, or even desirable. --[[User:Dbever|Dbever]] ([[User talk:Dbever|talk]]) 09:59, 17 June 2015 (CDT)

:::If it's the case that we cannot ever be safe for children, then perhaps we should adjust our policies to say so. As it is, we already allow children in the space under parental supervision, and no attempts at child proofing have been made. What we're discussing right now is extending the policy to possibly also allow third parties to supervise children as well, with a strict limit on number of children per responsible adult. In that sense, it's not much different from what we already allow, but here we are making a conscious effort to be more responsible about it.

All other concerns aside, we don't have room. An event happening in the electronics lab already occupies a significant portion of available work space. If that event also makes the lounge unavailable for people to work in, you've now eliminated two of the three rooms available for working at a table in a reasonably quiet environment. The table in crafts is, by its nature, unsuitable for a lot of tasks - not to mention occupants need to vacate should someone want to use it for layout. --[[User:Dbever|Dbever]] ([[User talk:Dbever|talk]]) 10:10, 17 June 2015 (CDT)
