Future of Coding

Is anyone around here based in/near Paris? I’m around for a few weeks and would love to say hi :slightly_smiling_face:

I am 10 km south-west of Paris. That probably counts as near :slightly_smiling_face:

I thought this was my local chat and thought you meant <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris,_Maine|Paris, Maine> for a minute

Maybe you are right <@U089J8FNGB1>! <@U01EMHQHGC9>: which Paris are you visiting? I am in Paris, France.

I definitely meant Paris, France :slightly_smiling_face:

And 10km def counts as near, especially if that’s close to RER line :stuck_out_tongue:

<@UJBAJNFLK> lmk if you’d be interested in grabbing a coffee some time!
My main interests relating to this community is malleable software. I like building and adopting tools for myself. Most recently I’ve been on and off playing with building a custom note system/malleable environment. focus on note taking/knowledge management is bc it’s very core to my interactions with the world and a place where I often find a need to build custom tools/adopt existing one

<@U01EMHQHGC9> I am not near an RER line, my priorities are elsewhere: I live on the edge of a forest (Forêt de Meudon). And I don't need to go to Paris every day, so buses are fine with me. I come to Paris regularly though, so we can plan to meet there!

Malleable software is a big topic for me as well. Are you aware of the <https://malleable.systems/|Malleable Systems> group? It's an online community like this one, but smaller and more focused.

Yes, I’m aware of them, though last time I poked around it didn’t seem super active :thinking_face: gonna go catch up on their matrix chat now :slightly_smiling_face:

I’m here till Oct 6. I’ll be busy busy Sep 20-21, Oct 3-6  but would be happy to meet up most other days, lmk when you plan to visit!

I'll be in Paris Sep 25. Would that be OK for you?

yeah, that works! would meeting some time early afternoon work?

Perfect! I have a meeting in the morning. What area of Paris are you in?

Starting today I will be in Ivry-sur-Sienne
