CouchDesign Collaboration journey to France
Mid November 2017 we go to France
to attend a conference,
visit friends,
and establish new friendships.
Interests:
We are both involved in Free Software,
with a special interest in design and customized systems.
Travel:
We enjoy the pace of train rides,
and like it for environmental reasons too.
This journey is done using Interrail tickets.
Thanks to Purism for sponsoring Jonas' travel costs!
Hosting:
We much prefer visiting our friends privately,
and bring sleeping bags.
Thanks to Francois and his family for hosting in Southern France,
to Brice and his family for hosting in Paris,
and to Kurt and Gabi for hosting in Gütersloh.
