DrupalCon is coming to Paris in September 2009
Great news! On Thursday evening, the Drupal Association board chose Paris to host the next European Drupalcon.
First of all we want to congratulate the teams from the other two candidate cities, Maastricht and Cologne. We know they worked hard, spent a lot of energy and did a great job. We're looking forward to working with you all — your help and experience will be more than welcome...
Paris is a good city for open source software, a great city for Drupal and, frankly, a fantastic place to visit. The community here has become increasingly active over the past two years and is excited to host enthusiastic Drupalers from around the world.
We want the conference to be attractive to as many Drupalers as possible. This is why the conference will feature tracks for coders, designers, site builders and students as well as companies and entrepreneurs thinking about using Drupal.
Novices and hard-core Drupalers alike are invited to share their common passion by participating in a day-long code and documentation sprint following the conference.
There will be sessions for all levels of Drupal users from beginners to seasoned pros.
There will be activities for significant others and significant little ones.
There will be business meetings and job opportunities.
There will be wine.
We need your help — Please join the effort
We want to thank everyone who supported the Parisian proposal and call upon all our friends in the Drupal community to join us in making this the most successful Drupalcon yet. Here’s what you can do:
- Follow the organization team on twitter: @dcparis2009
- Take part in the discussions on: http://groups.drupal.org/drupalcon-paris-2009, http://drupalfr.org, and http://groups.drupal.org/france
- Chat with the organizers on the IRC channel #drupalconparis on freenode.
Wow all goes to drupal con!

Mes félicitations aux cousins français de la part d’un québécois.
Congratulations to all. Now if I can find time and money to go in Paris and also convince my new boss.
When will a web site be available for Paris DrupalCon?
Thx cousin ! The website is
Thx cousin !
The website is not available yet and will at least not be open before the end of DC drupalcon to avoid confusion.
In the meantime we will communicate all available info on the Paris DrupalCon group and via Twitter.

Congratulations to Paris i'm sure it would be great and for the website i think Alexandre is right it's better to avoid confusion and take time to prepare a beautiful one.
Good choice!
Paris is great and it's one train away from here. Let's hope London is the next in line for a DrupalCon.

My best congratulations
Since both cities Paris and Maastricht are having their own charme, each of them will be a well choice.
As already mentioned before and discussed at FOSDEM: We are willing to help you. Just give us a post.

Great! I was planning to go to Paris sometime summer just for a stroll but now it makes more sense to visit.
Desperately waiting to meet all the great Drupal guys and girls at the next Drupalcon!
Hope the Velib system will not crash by then. I heard they have some problems currently.

Velib (a Self Service “bike hire” system) works quite OK. The only problem is they have to replace damaged/lost/robbed bikes often, more than they expected ;-)

c'est excellent! mais peut-etre on devrait changer le nom (DrupalCon) pour une fois. ;-)
Peut-etre, DrupalConf cette fois-ci?

tres bien! perfect. I was always for Paris :)
That's right DrupalCon
That's right DrupalCon sounds "weird" in French (a "con" is a stupid guy).
That is why we decided to stick to "Drupal conference" for communications in french language.
But "DrupalConf" may be a good idea.

excellent point
Excellent point.
We already discussed this and will raise the topic with the Drupal Association too to get their input.
For those of us that don't speak French: 'con' is indeed a 'stupid' guy, but with a bit heavier than just stupid. Think 'DrupalImbecile' or 'DrupalDouchebag'.
DrupalConf and DrupalConference seem likely candidates.

Awesome job.
Got Rosetta Stone last week!
Sweet! Just so happens I got Rosetta Stone French complete 2 weeks ago, so this is totally motivational for me to study.
Anyone who wants a discounted stay should contact me. I will have room for 4-6 people (maybe more, but I don't know if my wife will want to share our space - if she doesn't come, I'd have space for 8-9 or so). I have a timeshare that allows me to exchange there :-) I'll be there for a week.
See ya all there :) I'm from

What dates in September will
What dates in September will DrupalCon Paris be?
Bevan/
Wonderful news. Hope firm
Wonderful news. Hope firm dates will be announced several months in advance, with a firm schedule of talks. Essential so that travellers can book cheap non-refundable tickets well in advance. I speak from experience of being unable to go to LibreGraphics in Poland last year because they couldn't get their act together early and from going to an open source conference in Malaga which was... well, not cancelled even, it just disappeared a month or two beforehand (I still went there because I'd already spent the money). :(
Dates not yet announced
We will be announcing the final date very very shortly. But it will be early september.
Paris better be ready for a bit a kiwi
Cause I'm not gonna miss this one.
thanks to catalyst.net.nz for letting me contribute work time to Drupal.
The picture is not good to
The picture is not good to illustrate Paris as it is a real concrete city. Very hard to find some green.
But have a good time and good meetings in it. There is plenty to do.
Between the Bois de Vincennes
Between the Bois de Vincennes and the Bois de Boulogne be assured that you will be able to find some green (Luxembourg park, Monceau park, etc). :)
This picture show the Champs de Mars park, under the Eiffel tower.

GOOD NEWS!!
Hope won't be missing this one too.
I really liked the "Drupalians" community in Paris at the last DrupalNGo workshop we had here in Paris. Unfortunately got too busy after and was not able to follow up with the community afterward. So I'm crossing fingers till then.
The Paris DrupalNGo workshop
The Paris DrupalNGo workshop event seems to be advertised at http://drupalngo.org/ but someone needs to fix their website. "Come and join us! October 4th and 5th, the Drupal French community is inviting you to these two awesome events..." it says. No indication of year, so it seems like it's in the future. But in 2009 those dates are Sunday/Monday, so I'm betting it's 2008.
Poor Overworked Parisian community
We are still on this. The website for the association was done, but we are still waiting on them for the data import. We will update the website as soon as possible, but with the Drupal Conf and everything this got a bit less prioritized...
It was cool, and we will do others...
Bravo!

session language(s)?
Will sessions be held in French?
I hope so...
... that would be part of the fun! :)
Oops, I think I just trolled! Seriously, I hope it will be like the wonderful LibreGraphicsMeeting that I attended in Lyon -- presenters came from all over the world and most of the sessions were in English, but there were indeed some in French. Personally I'll be very disappointed if I don't get the chance to listen to some chatter in French, whether in presentations or BOF sessions or just standing around in groups by the coffee machine.
Native language sessions
My opinion is that the local user groups might well present some sessions in French, but thinking like that we might see sessions in Italian when in Rome, Spanish in Madrid and so fort. For most of the attendees, this is uninteresting so for the main part keep it to english so we all can attend and enjoy a fruitful experience.
When will come to Brazil?? =D
