Paris and London WordPress Meetups

Asides

I’m going to be in Europe next week to speak at the Future of Web Apps in London, and I’ll be spending a few days in Paris beforehand. I’d love to meet up with WordPress-minded folks in both. Let’s do a Paris meetup on Sunday, September 30th and one in London on Tuesday the 2nd or Thursday the 4th. Leave a comment (with your email) if you can make it and we’ll nail down the details in the next day or two.

    Hi Matt,
    I’m looking forward for a meet up in Paris on sunday! Have you a venue in mind? This is my email: yqassimi{@}gmail{.}com.

  • james governor September 27, 2007 @ 10:30 pm

    4th is definitely better than the 2nd.

  • btard September 27, 2007 @ 11:56 pm

    Hey, enjoy Europe. Come to Barcelona because I’m flying aaaaaaallllll the way from Vancouverland to there.

    Check this, do you think it looks like you? Or is it you?

    If you do the beers are on me.

  • Donovan September 28, 2007 @ 12:02 am

    I might be able to do the Thursday in London. I’ll see if I can work it out.

  • Joe September 28, 2007 @ 12:29 am

    Paris?

  • ineation September 28, 2007 @ 12:37 am

    Welcome to Paris Matt, let’s organize smthg !

  • cvander September 28, 2007 @ 12:42 am

    My vote for London at thursday.. I’ll be in FOWA so see you there.

  • Ozh September 28, 2007 @ 1:44 am

    Would have love to make it to Paris… but too short of a notice, Matt!

  • Nigel James September 28, 2007 @ 2:06 am

    Matt there is a PHPLondon group meeting on the fourth. You are more than welcome to gatecrash.

    Venue http://www.phplondon.org/wiki/The_Old_Crown
    Otherwise the second would work also at some other venue.

  • Kris Hoet September 28, 2007 @ 2:30 am

    Will you still be in Paris on the 1st? Would love to meet up but will only arrive in Paris on Monday afternoon

  • Richard Harrison September 28, 2007 @ 2:48 am

    Hi Matt,

    PHPLondon meets on the 4th (http://phplondon.org/wiki/October_4th_2007).

    It might be fun to do both at the same place, killing two birds with one beer? :)

    If that sounds like a plan then buzz Dave: http://phplondon.org/wiki/User:Dave_Nattriss

  • Matt September 28, 2007 @ 4:24 am

    It sounds like there’s an existing program for PHP London, but it’ll finish up around 8:30ish. Maybe we could start the WP meetup then, or is that too late?

  • Sean September 28, 2007 @ 5:35 am

    Why are these meetings always in London?? Their are other cities in the UK too… I would love to attend, but since I work and live in Aberdeen, its harder for me to get to London without spending a fortune on tickets and hotels!

  • Nigel James September 28, 2007 @ 5:43 am

    Not too late at all. We tend to chat on until we get kicked out of the pub.

  • westi September 28, 2007 @ 7:09 am

    I would love to attend.

    Would be better maybe to pick a bar close to the FOWA event where there is at least parking available for those of us unable to travel into London via Public Transport easily.

    I would prefer Thursday probably 6:30 onwards if I can get away from $dayjob at a reasonable time.

  • Mayel September 28, 2007 @ 7:47 am

    Please let me know the time and place in Paris, I’d like to be there…

  • bbx September 28, 2007 @ 8:45 am

    Yo Matt

    Coming to Paris? I live there and I love WP, so if I find some other french wp-guys, let’s try to meet.

  • Xavier September 28, 2007 @ 9:32 am

    Hey Matt,

    It would be nice to finally meet you, but I’m afraid the WP:FR staff-members who live in Paris would have needed a bit more warning to accommodate our own week-end schedules with your plan.

    In any case, we’ll announce it on our forum for our users.

    Don’t hesitate to contact us
    http://www.wordpress-fr.net/contact
    …or me directly (mail included) if you’re looking for a place to have a drink around here :)

  • Laureana Cacho Sheppard September 28, 2007 @ 11:21 am

    How many are coming to London? Where is the venue and when. If I have a chance I’ll be there.

    Laurie

  • Benedict Eastaugh September 28, 2007 @ 11:34 am

    Should be able to make Tuesday or Thursday in London, depending on time and location obviously. Any time after 6 should be fine for me.

  • Mary-Ann Horley September 28, 2007 @ 11:34 am

    I would love to come if it’s on the 4th

  • BIG-Flo September 28, 2007 @ 11:58 am

    Hey Matt,

    Following you & WP since years now, I would be pleased to meet you in London on Tuesday, (if possible in the evening).
    Please let me know where you will be at that time or something. (Hopefully I won’t experience the same with hotels then you had! lol)

    Would be really nice to see you! Thanks ;-)

  • Mike Grouchy September 28, 2007 @ 12:10 pm

    Someone should have a wp meetup in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada that would be fun, that way I wouldn’t feel so left out from these meetups all the time! :p

  • Antoine Pasquier-Desvignes September 28, 2007 @ 12:38 pm

    Argh ! Rugby world cup is going on and Sunday afternoon is quite important for the French team. If you’d like lets join us at “La Chope de Champerret” in Paris 17è.
    Anyway enjoy Paris.
    Antoine

  • Mary-Ann Horley September 28, 2007 @ 1:03 pm

    OK, now I could do either London day

  • Xavier September 28, 2007 @ 2:29 pm

    Antoine Pasquier-Desvignes: hehe, at first I thought you were talking about the WP:FR team, then I understood it’s about the French rugby team, most probably against the All Blacks, I believe :)

    I’m not sure any of us would prefer rugby to a wordpress meeting – then again, I’ve been wrong before ;=

    Truly, it’s going to be a tough evening finding a bar/pub where you can talk quietly this Sunday :)

  • olivM September 28, 2007 @ 5:54 pm

    same as Antoine : there’s 2 big games on sunday afternoon.

    but sure we can find time for a Paris WP meetup !

  • arena September 28, 2007 @ 6:16 pm

    Hello Matt, so what do you plan to do in Paris !
    Where can we meet ?

  • Victor September 29, 2007 @ 1:42 am

    No rugby cup for me, so if you would let me know were you’ll meet other French people, i’ll be glad to join.
    Guess you know where I typed my mail ;)

    See ya (?)

    Victor

  • cyril attias September 29, 2007 @ 3:01 am

  • Vero Pepperrell September 29, 2007 @ 6:05 am

    I’ll be saying hi after your presentation on the 3rd :)

    @Mike Grouchy: Let’s throw one between Dec 15th and Xmas – I’ll be back in Ottawa then!

  • Fanny September 29, 2007 @ 8:45 am

    I will be in Paris on the 30th and would love to join the meet-up.
