Wishlist[edit]
- The main areas I am interested in at the moment is using SMW in a Enterprise Architecture environment. Importing BiZZdesign models into the Wiki and vice versa. We have attempted to import XML files that BiZZdesign produce, but so far it has not worked. I'm currently also looking at ways to archive the Wiki using Heritrix. I have so far used Httrack to convert the Wiki into HTML, but would prefer something like Heritix that just does it and makes it available for users to view the Wiki at certain points in time. As a added part, I am also looking at converting the HTML files, or even the Wiki into a PDF book. I have been having issues with the latter getting the dependencies working.

Hotels/accommodation and Getting There and Around[edit]
Getting There[edit]
Air Travel[edit]
There are many options to go from the Airports to Paris' city center.
- From Orly Airport to Paris: Read this
- From Charles de Gaules Airport (AkA Roissy) to Paris: Read this
RER B (+ Orlyval) is the cheapest and fastest option. Except during off-peak hours when taxis can be faster.
Train[edit]
Thalys fast train e.g. Cologne-Paris from 70 EUR return
Getting Around[edit]
- Métro line 6 : station Bir-Hakeim
- RER C : station Champ de Mars / Tour Eiffel
Lines are bidirectional. On the panels, the name of the last station tells the direction.
The best way to get around Paris is on the Metro and the Paris Visite travel pass provides unlimited travel. Instead of buying tickets every time you ride the Metro, you have a transportation card in your pocket that allows you to hop on the Metro, the RER, city buses, tramways, even the Montmartre funicular — whenever you want, wherever you are.
The Paris Visite travel pass also allows you to use airport connections.
- Number of journeys: unlimited
- Availability: between 1 to 5 days
- Cost: between 12,00€ to 38,35 €

Prices may vary depending on season and availability.
As you probably know, room availability and prices changes very quickly, so you might want to look by yourself for the accommodation that best suit you on Booking.com and/or Airbnb.com.
A few tips when you consider booking a room in Paris:
- Check the customers feedback! Try to get a place with high (and many) ratings.
- Check which floor the apartment is on and if there is an elevator.
- If you like a quiet place, try to avoid busy streets (Boulevard or Avenue) and try to check that there is no bar nearby.
- It's ok to stay in an area that is not close to the venue since the metro (subway) system is one of the best in the world. Considering that, try to get a hotel on the same Metro line than the one next to the venue (Bir Hakeim, Champ de mars, Tour Eiffel or Ecole Militaire). Indeed, avoiding changing metro lines will save you lots of time.
Coworking spaces[edit]
Coffee shops have become more and more popular over the last three years in Paris. Most of them are located in the 10th Arrondissement of Paris, but you can probably find one near your place of residence.
Here are our advices:
Anticafé is a popular chain and has one location near the venue.
- Address: Anticafé Louvres - 10 Rue de Richelieu
- Cost: 5€ an hour / 24€ per day
- Offer: Wifi + unlimited hot and cold beverages, salty and sweet snacks
A little further from the conference venue, there are many coworking places that also charge by the hour. Most of them are located around the Jacques Bonsergent Metro Station. Here are a few places that we recommend:
- Café Craft - 24 Rue des Vinaigriers, 75010 Paris
- HUBSY République - 9bis Rue Lucien Sampaix, 75010 Paris
- Närmare coworking café - 34-36 Rue du Château d'Eau, 75010 Paris
- Coworkshop - 32 Rue des Vinaigriers, 75010 Paris
- Onzième Lieu - 91 bis Rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, 75011 Paris
Last, the following place is located next to Chevaleret Metro station (a station on the same line than Bir Hakeim, the closest station from the venue). That makes it a good option.
- Anticafé Station F - 55 Boulevard Vincent Auriol 75013 Paris
