Meetup : Montpellier: Tentative first meetup
Discussion article for the meetup : Montpellier: Tentative first meetup
I’m going to be in Montpellier for the holidays and I noticed that there isn’t a single LW group in France. So this is a one-shot experimental meetup. I’ll be there with a sign and a book, hoping for interesting people in the area to drop by.
The location is the best I could find through internet search, since I don’t know the city all that well. It’s open to suggestions.
The meetup could be held in French if everyone who comes is fluent.
Whaddaya mean there isn’t a single LW group in France? There have been four meetups in Paris! Admittedly, they haven’t been regularly scheduled, but still …
I also created a LessWrong-France mailing-list—though again it’s not very active, previous meetups were organized here and/or through informal emails.
I’d be glad to see more activity in France! I don’t have the time and energy right now to organize regular meetups, but I’d like to see more happen.
Terrific. Except one detail: do someone know of any way to subscribe to a google group with something other than gmail? I have my own domain name, and I want to use it, dammit.
Huh, indeed, it doesn’t look very user-friendly once you signed out of Google :( Google’s supposed to not be evil!
Apparently it’s possible to subscribe by sending a mail to lesswrong-france plus subscribe at googlegroups dot com, though I haven’t tried. Anyway, I sent you an invite.
I tried the subscribe email, but then it requires to login to Google groups :/
OK, then I added you manually, it’s not the most convenient system but it works.
huh, that sucks … I’ll have to investigate a bit.
I stand corrected.
I looked at the LW groups list and France has nothing there. If there’s a Paris community, you should get yourselves an entry.
This was a failure. (Low cost though, so I’d do it again.)
