Hey! We did start it a long time ago, but then someone aggressively took over the meetup page, so we're not in control anymore: http://www.meetup.com/parishack

Hey! We did start it a long time ago, but then someone aggressively took over the meetup page, so we're not in control anymore: http://www.meetup.com/parishackers/ http://www.meetup.com/parishackers/ We've since started "Paris Tech Talks" in the same spirit, which is now the largest generalist tech meetup in Paris: https://www.meetup.com/Paris-Tech-Talks/ https://www.meetup.com/Paris-Tech-Talks/ What we've seen over time though is that the Paris tech scene already has a enormous number of high quality meetups, and people are increasingly tired of them. We are seeing the same general decline in interest that happened with hackathons a couple years ago. I'd say that "Hacker News" is not really a strong enough unique proposition to build a new meetup on. Meetups linked to specific languages or technologies tend to do much better over time. Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss more!
