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.
yes for either London date!
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.
4th is definitely better than the 2nd.
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.
I might be able to do the Thursday in London. I’ll see if I can work it out.
Paris?
Welcome to Paris Matt, let’s organize smthg !
My vote for London at thursday.. I’ll be in FOWA so see you there.
Would have love to make it to Paris… but too short of a notice, Matt!
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.
Will you still be in Paris on the 1st? Would love to meet up but will only arrive in Paris on Monday afternoon
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
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?
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!
Not too late at all. We tend to chat on until we get kicked out of the pub.
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.
Please let me know the time and place in Paris, I’d like to be there…
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.
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

…or me directly (mail included) if you’re looking for a place to have a drink around here 🙂
How many are coming to London? Where is the venue and when. If I have a chance I’ll be there.
Laurie
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.
I would love to come if it’s on the 4th
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 😉
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
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
OK, now I could do either London day
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 🙂
Pour les intéressés :

same as Antoine : there’s 2 big games on sunday afternoon.
but sure we can find time for a Paris WP meetup !
Hello Matt, so what do you plan to do in Paris !
Where can we meet ?
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
let me know where the paris meeting will be 🙂
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!
I will be in Paris on the 30th and would love to join the meet-up.
Thanks
fanny

Matt I hope you enjoy your stay in Paris and I’d be happy to meet up, anytime, anyplace 😉

There’s a post on my blog about the London meetup after the conference. I live in the area so either date should be good for me. Keep me posted
I’ll be in London for the FOWA. Both 2th and 4th are ok. Thanks,
