I am going to be in Paris next week for the Le Web 2009 conference, hanging out with some of the movers and shakers of the European technology scene. Many of you have emailed me asking to meet up before the event. Instead of trying to make individual plans, I decided perhaps it’s time for a meetup.

I emailed Ouriel Ohayon, co-founder of apps discovery company, Appsfire.com, looking for suggestions as to where I should host the event. He put me in touch with Stephane Distinguin, CEO of FaberNovel, a leading web consulting group in France. A few emails later, Distinguin made an extremely generous offer: How about we have the meetup in his offices? It was an offer we couldn’t refuse. So we are having a meetup in partnership with Ouriel’s company. Here are the details:

GigaOM + AppsFire Meet Up
2-4 p.m., Dec. 8, 2009.
@ The offices of FaberNovel
17, rue du faubourg du Temple, 75010 Paris (M° République).

The space is limited to 40 people so drop me an email (om+tips at gigaom dot com) or send me a tweet (@om)
