I haven't seem any evidence of a DrupalUK meet up being planed for Drupalcon, so I thought I would start.
What do you want to do?
Where do you want to do it?
When do you want to do it?
We could discuss that tomorrow Monday in a British pub in London.
I invit every one to meet me before I leave for Paris near KingCross St Pancras Station

Hi,
I'm part of the Drupal community in France.
We will be very happy to welcome you all from the 1st to the 5th of Septembre in Paris.
I happen to be in Paris over the WE and leave on Monday 7PM30, who will be interested in meeting, drink a beer and tchat about Drupal.
I'm especially interested in Drupal for publishing and media industry.
I will do a talk http://paris2009.drupalcon.org/session/bussin...
Your feedback will be welcome.
and I just secure a special sponsorship of Danone to boost the use of Drupal for NGO.
We will organize BOF to collect the need of NGO in Drupal.
I think I would be interesting to meet you people working on NGO.
Just put comment or call me 07529322227 and get know each other before hand.
Everyone is welcome even if you don't come to Paris.

I hope to get there late on Monday, but I've yet to find out when the Eurostar's been booked for. If I can drop my bags off and get back out by a reasonable hour then I'm up for a drink.
Where do you think? And how might we communicate changes closer to the time: Twitter? What's wifi like in the Gare du Nord area? Is it easy to find free wifi and a coffee? Anyone had any success with the Fons that seem to be infecting the city like a rash, or the city's own Pass Paris Wifi?
Answering my own comment: my hotel has wifi apparently, and it's in 14e near the Financier and near(ish) the CIUP, so it'd be as good a place for me as any to meet on Monday. Should be in Paris from 8ish.
OK If it's just me and Bryan (Torchbox proj mgr) then we'll try to have a swift drink at the Financier and also try somewhere mearby from the Rough Guide I've got kicking around, maybe Le Select.
And if I may make a suggestion:
We should do this in memory of Fin, who organised last year's drupalcon UK drinks.
For those who never had the opportunity to meet him, he was an exceptionally bright young man who sadly passed away earlier this year.
What's the plan?!
I arrive tomorrow (Wed) morning. I have a business meeting near Opera in the centre of Paris at 7pm, but after that I'm free. Think a local friend of mine wants to hook up, but he'd be happy to attend a Drupal UK meet-up as the honorary Frenchman (to facilitage the usual Waterloo banter and side with NikLP and joachim). =)

I'll be there, hopefully soon after 8pm.
What about late-comers? Should we just agree to stay there until at least 9:30, or leave a message as to new location?
I'm not sure about reliability of Twitter - relies on having wifi or a roaming data tariff that doesn't rape you.
