Sprint Room<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Unlike the Contributor Day, the Sprint Room won’t have an organised team structure, but will be a place where attendees can contribute, arrange discussions and organise between themselves a small team of contributors.<\/p>\n

We also welcome anyone who find themselves needing a place to work during the event to use this room.<\/p>\n

Cr\u00e8che aka Children Day Care<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The WordCamp London organsing team would love to see adults and children attending sessions, but understand that sometimes kids find us boring.<\/p>\n

This year we have cr\u00e8che facilities for children of attendees<\/a> of the event. We wrote a FAQ regarding the facilities<\/a> too.<\/p>\n

If you find yourself wanting to use our day care facilities at the last minute, please go to the main recption and speak to a volunteer or contact us beforehand<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Help on the day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

All our help on the day will be sporting volunteer t-shirts which includes the word Localhost on the back.<\/p>\n
