I don't know if any of us will be close, but I'm sure you could find several volunteers who wou;dn't mind a short trip to France if you sent us a ticket. :-)
I have to check if we have a budget for this :), if so I will tell you. As a matter of fact I'd rather choose european people (Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, France) close to Metz so that I can find a place to be hosted at the same time ;)
I already sent a call for contribution on the fr.wikipedia using the bistro (the frenche Village pump), I will see the result :)
