> Location: why not Paris?

> my parents place)
> - I would be able to host the meeting at my parents place during the
> day (up to 8 people) or Thomas can (up to 6 people).
> - It's convenient and cheap for all the french people here, e.g. it's
> just 3 hours train for Gael.
> - Other people need sponsoring but at least Paris is a good place for
> international flights.
> - Gael: you could probably stay at my parents place too.
> - I know a good hotel with wifi at 60 euro/night, 65 for two people.

> Conclusion: if this is OK for Gael then we can set this up right away
