"Hey, I've seen your kids do angel shifts at #39c3. Isn't that illegal child labour?"

Good question. Let me go full governance, risk and compliance nerd on you. Here's a legal analysis, including an initial policy and guideline proposal to formalize current compliance practice: https://github.com/andreasdotorg/engelsystem/blob/ela/doc/legal/index.md
