Hello everyone,
would there be anyone motivated for an informal meetup in Paris this month ?

Hello albatros,

I would be interested (I work in Paris and live close), whether it is this month or later. We're already in the middle of the month, so I'm not sure we can expect people to not have other plans for the rest of the month, but we'll see :)
You're right that I've been a little bit too optimistic with just a 15 days buffer.

Let's say for now, as a shot in the dark :
17th Thursday of October at 19h in a place to be defined near chatelet ?

(For this I'm actually available from 18h30 on week-day and anytime on week-end, if you prefer some other time/day/place don't hesitate, the idea is just to get something going) :)

Nice, we're literally getting somewere :)

If you know an appropriate place near Centre Pompidou, then I'm glad to let you decide for a place :)
I can probably join a Parisian meetup on Oct 17.

(Note that Indiecade starts on Oct 18, also in Paris, interesting display of indie games & conferences)
I think we can validate for meeting at La Comédie, rue de la Reynie. It seems like a good place :)

@Omar, That would be awesome !
I confirm I will come on October 17th at 19h at La Comédie.
Great ! :D
Yay!

We'll be meeting this week.

Thursday the 17th, at 7pm.

La Comédie, rue de la Reynie. (near the Chatelet station).
75004 PARIS

And for the lurkers out there, there's still room. Don't hesitate to pass by :)
Hello there,

From what i gathered on the discord, seems there is will to make another meetup in paris. So, let's go.
Last one was already quite a success with 5 participants, very interesting exchanges, and some very nice tips were shared.

I propose we choose between theses three dates for meeting up :
Thursday 23 of april (the last week before our big wave of public holiday)
Thursday 14 of may (the closest week of may without public holiday)
Thursday 11 of june (our first week after the big wave of public holiday)

I'm not very attach to any of theses dates, it's just so we can get the ball rolling. Don't hesitate to add a date to the mix if thuesday is difficult for you.

I'm ok to do this even if we end up as just two people, but if you prefer you can confirm your presence with the condition that we have x people coming.

Here is a link to the poll :
https://framadate.org/oIlTH6G7AmV1Pbgh
the expiration date is on 22 april, so those who would have to buy a train ticket get at least a 1 month delay.

I guess we could just use the same location as last time :
La Comédie, rue de la Reynie. (near the Chatelet station).
75004 PARIS


I'm editing the OP with lastest infos.
Can't wait to see how it will go :)

Hi!

Might be able to join this meetup!

I'm 100% sure I want to come but might not be possible due to the border being closed.
I would be thrilled to have you come Kreco :)

Yeah, the thread started before confinement was decided, so it was not taken into account at the time.
Any idea of a date you would be confident the borders would be open for you ?

(Guntha pointed on the discord that given that the kids should be going back to school around the 4th of may, so maybe the borders for France will re-open around the same time ?)


So, a few mails and an few discord messages later, we have at least 4 people motivated for each date, so I guess now we have two meetups planned.

So we have :
- The 14th of may. Given how close it is to the estimated lift of the confinement, it's still subject to change/cancel.
- The 11th of june. This one should be safe to book train tickets for.


We'll be meeting at :
La Comédie, rue de la Reynie. (near the Chatelet station).
75004 PARIS

I'm editing the OP with lastest infos.
I just can't wait :)

Hi albatros!

Thanks for the update.

Any date should do the trick for me if there is no confinement.

I guess we may need a monthly-ish update (before each potential date).
