1.5 Sprint

The sprint is on for Logilab in Paris! Let's get together for a couple days to do some serious design work and hacking for the 1.5 release. The sprint takes place between Friday 5 February and Sunday 7 February.

We've got sufficient funding to reimburse everyone who put a '*' by their name in the Paris column, and that weekend works for just about everyone, so it's looking like we'll have around 20 people. We've also got budget for hotel rooms for everyone (2 per room) for 3 nights each, which we're going to try to book ASAP. If you're on this list and can't make it or have other issues, let me or Dirkjan know right away.

Plan on arriving on the Thursday the 4th, so that we can get a good start on Friday morning.

A mailing list has been set up for further organisation and communication. Also, see this page.

3. Informations

3.1. From Charles de Gaulle Airport to Glacière Metro Station

Take the RER B (suburban train) to Denfert-Rochereau Station, then metro line 6 to Glacière (follow metro line 6 "Nation" direction). The RER B ticket will let you take the metro, just take care of not leaving the transportation system.

You can also walk from Denfert-Rochereau (20mn).

Benoit pointed out that if you want to walk, it is nicer to leave RER B at the station right after Denfert-Rochereau, Cité Universitaire, then stroll in the Montsouris park and smaller streets.

Here is an interactive map of Paris train/metro transportation system:
