Hello @plainschwarz-team Thank you for applying for a CHAOSS DEI Badge for your event.
My observation is, I noticed that the event does not provide any facilities that support family friendliness, but I suppose this is all as a result of the budgetary constraints.

Have a successful with your event!

@Anita-ihuman it looks like that's been resolved when I reloaded the page. Maybe it's the GitHub interface had a glitch, I don't know. Sorry for the confusion! 😆 It's all good now.
