Hi Mehdi,

how many folks do you think would be able to attend a workshop in Paris 
? Would you have a specific location in mind ? We might be able to use 
the Red Hat office in Paris, I've been there before (twice), but I don't 
remember how big their conf room was. I'd have to check, but for as long 
it's just an idea I won't inquire specifics...

Paris would be a good location, too, as I live in Switzerland and would 
therefore not have to travel far, and the trip would cost less.

Who else would be interested in a JGroups workshop in Paris ?

This is really just counting hands, nothing formal...
