Planning for a Paris (France) meetup, early June?

Hello folks,

Cross-posting from Discord message.

I thought it will be nice for a meetup before the summer kicks in :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

Let me know in the thread if you’re interested! I will ask around and see possible venues.

Cheers!

@luislavena do you need any help or support from us?

Definitely support is welcome!

Currently looking for venues. I’m reaching out to some Paris startups to see if they are interested in hosting us. Not much response so far.

Also reached out to @alex-lairan too, who run the last Paris meetup.

Other options are welcome!

Plan C, if all that fails, I’ll check with my employer to host it.

:grin:

Hi, I can ask in the Paris RB meetup slacks if any company would like to host a Crystal event.

I have no idea how crystal evolved the last 5 years I stopped tinkering with the language.

Do more companies uses crystal nowadays?

I can’t help much finding a venue, I don’t know much companies in Paris anymore. At worst, it’s summer, so we could have an informal meet at a park during the day :deciduous_tree: :sun:

Posting here again what I wrote on Discord for better overview:

I’d love to participate more in this community and that would be a great opportunity! But my time in June is limited - do you have an exact date already?

Not sure what your ideas are - would this take place on a work day or on a weekend?

I recall the dates were early June due @nobodywasishere visiting Paris, can you share your dates and availabilities?

To answer the weekday/weekend, depends on folks. Normally a Thursday after work does not messes up with lot of personal-life plans.

As for the venue: no answer so far on the ones I contacted, so we might go with Plan B: a park and let’s hang out and eat some cheese :grin:

I wouldn’t count on me being able to make it out for June unfortunately :c don’t let that stop you though!

I’d love to join if the date would work for me and I’d find a reasonable priced accommodation. Maybe I’d even stay for one day or two if anybody would like to hang out together in a coworking space, cafe or so and maybe go for some beverages.

Oh dear, bear with me as the last time I organized an event (or pretty much anything) was before pre-COVID times :sweat_smile:

:broken_heart: for missing @nobodywasishere, but if a week day works for you folks, I’m proposing:

NOTE: Poll removed, see the new one here.

The idea: a park (preferably) or a bar with a open space (depends on how many confirm)
The time: early afternoon (~ 5pm) for some apéro, chat and drinks, nothing formal
Where: Parks like Buttes-Chaumont, La Villette or places like Ground Control

Thank you for your patience and hopefully we can met! :blush:

Cheers.

For me the only possible date in early June would be Saturday, 7th as I would have to travel to Paris by train first. I suppose this isn’t the best choice for most of the others, so I’ll rather wait for the next opportunity.

It would be nice to select multiple choices. I might be available on weekend afternoons.

Sadly I cannot edit the poll:

An error occurred: You cannot change a poll after the first 5 minutes.

Here is the new poll with multiple choice:

  • Tuesday, June 10
  • Friday, June 13
  • Wednesday, June 18
  • Thursday, June 19
  • Saturday, June 7
  • (no weekdays, better on a Saturday)
0 voters

Removing the other now!

Apologies for the mistakes :pensive_face:

Hello folks!

Thank you those of you that voted!

I will keep the poll open until Wednesday, but appears that Friday June 13 is coming as first option, then possible the Saturday after.

If you haven’t voted yet, please do now so I could update the main message and provide more details.

Thank you all and looking forward finally see some faces! :waving_hand: :blush:

Cheers,
Luis

Voting is closed! Thank you all for sharing your feedback!

Seems that by 1 vote we have Saturday as first option! See you Saturday June 14!

There are some bars in Parc des Buttes-Chaumont we could go, but let me know if you prefer other places instead.

Cheers! :partying_face:

Thank you for organizing this, Luis! What time should we meet?

Hello!

I was thinking 15h in front of Pavillon Puebla, to give time for some folks that are taking the train to arrive and also not to late so they can go back without issues.

Let me know if that does not work for any of you!

Cheers
