Hi all,
The Paris hackfest is a go with board approval and a confirmed host (thanks Mc!).
The hackfest dates are June 27th through July 1st. The first four days will be for hacking with a meeting with local Inkscape users on the fifth day (TBA).
The hackfest will take place at Carrefour Numérique². This is a Fablab/hackerspace located inside Paris's excellent modern science museum. They use Inkscape all the time (and love it!).
See http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Hackfest2017 for more details.
Everyone in the Inkscape community is invited to attend! Financial support is available to Inkscape developers based on the number of years activity and number of commits to the source code. Support for others active in the Inkscape community (translators, documenters, etc.) will be handled on a case-by-case basis. For more details, see:

If you plan on attending please add your name to the above page or send me an email. The page has been seeded with those who have already expressed an interest in attending.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Paris!
