I'll be there.
Memo that everyone ignored or hilariously misinterpreted last time because I mumble horribly, so this time I'm posting it in advance: My preferred pronouns are gender-neutral. (Your favorite set, or Spivak pronouns, or "they" in unambiguous contexts.) I insist on them in few circumstances, which LW meetups aren't part of. If you don't want to bother with them (gender-neutral French is awkward), male pronouns will be happily tolerated.
Longs meetups are more fun (at least I enjoy them more), so I suggest that we should either finish late (last time lasted past 1 AM, but almost everyone left earlier) or start early.
Walking around seems to get less fun as group size increases - it encourages independent one-on-one conversations.
Well, Wikipedia wasn't helpful ... how do you do gender-neutral pronouns, etc. (particularly the etc.) in French?
As far as I can tell, you don't! The handful of genderqueer people I know accept both sets, and switch (not mid-sentence, but within the course of a single conversation) when referring to themselves.
As Wikipedia says, you can use both forms in writing ("Il/elle est étudiant(e)."), but I have no idea how you're supposed to say it, and anyway it doesn't solve the problem of gendered language.
The only suggestions I've seen for real gender-neutrality are:
Neither have caught on anywhere.
Bonjour Everyone,
How about the Pere populaire

If you want to walk, no particular suggestions but as the group seems to be a small one, why not stay in one place for a starter?
Following [last Paris meetup](http://lesswrong.com/lw/5eg/paris_meetup_saturday_april_30th_2pm/), next one will be Satuday, June 25th, probably around 2PM, but we can use this thread to settle on the details.
Anybody have any suggestions for a better place than some random Café?
(I had the impression that announcing meetups too early was not advised, as people would just forget ...)
