Hackfest: Paris, June 27th — July 1st
Description
A hackfest! We will work on Inkscape bugs, new features, and packaging as well as website issues; in fact anything that can benefit from developers and users being physically in the same space.
Paris
Paris is well connected with three international airports (including the second busiest in Europe) as well as being the center of the TGV high speed train network. It is centrally located in Europe and is an easy trip for many Inkscape hackers. There are direct flights to/from most major US cities.
Venue
The hackfest will take place at Carrefour Numérique². This is a Fablab/hackerspace located inside Paris's excellent modern science museum. They use Inkscape all the time (and the love it!).
Location on Google Maps, Open Street Map. Carrefour Numérique² is located on level -1.
Take Metro line 7 to Porte de la Villette.
