[Debconf-discuss] Finding my way to Paris post-Debconf; requesting help+tips



Hi everyone,

I'm normally based in the US, but I'm (obviously) going to Debconf, and after that, I plan to stay in Europe until the Desktop Summit in Berlin, where (to my thrill) I'm a speaker!

July 31: Debconf is totally over.

August 5 evening: I must be in Berlin.

I would love to visit the Debianites in Paris, get some work done on my laptop, and meet some parts of the logiciel libre community there. There are also a few people (like Elisa de Castro Guerra, who works on the translation of Floss Manuals into French, who I met at Libre Graphics Meeting 2011) who I would love a chance to catch up with.

(Je peux parler un peu de français. De plus, j'aimerais passer quelque jours en France pendant que je le practique.)

So I thought I'd ask for the following things:

* Does anyone have a place I can crash for a few days in Paris?

* Does anyone have particular suggestions for how to get to Paris from Banja Luka? (Actually, that's probably a plane flight, and I will shop at kayak.com. But maybe there's some awesome magic trick that's way cheaper (?).)

* Does anyone have particular suggestions for ways to get to Berlin from Paris?

One day, I will have time to visit the south of France, but it seems that will have to be a future trip.

(Having said that, if someone replies to me with some amazing logistics to make that work I will give it serious thought!)

P.S. I figure this is on-topic enough for a "general discussion" list, but if it's bad to have sent it, please let me know and I will apologize and quiet down.
