Discussion article for the meetup : Montpellier: Tentative first meetup

WHEN: 03 January 2013 03:00:00PM (+0100)

WHERE: Bagel House, 6 Rue Loys, Montpellier, France

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.)
