Update: The conference ends quit early this time and we suggest to make the best out of this situation by planning a third halftime, in the good old tradition of the ParisJUG. Please feel invited to join us for an AfterJUG drink’n'chat in a nice café at place Jourdan (about 300m away from the GooglePlex).
For those that will not attend the conference but would like to join us for the third halftime, please send a private message and you will get a phone number that will magically allow you to locate our geoposition :)

Update 2: This week we had a sneak preview of the GooglePlex. We will have a nice meeting room and Google promised to provide drinks and snacks. Looks like our well-being is assured, and if you are nice to Olivier, you might even use the gaming console collection :)
However, for security reasons we have to leave the building at 21:00. That’s why we have to start the conference on schedule at 18:30. If you would like to enjoy the drink and the Google lounge, you are invited to arrive at 1745-18:00.
You will need to sign in at the reception. To make this zippy, we will prepare the attendees list and you just need to scrawl your triple-X.
