Writing

Coworking for writers in your area! (Français & English sessions) with Andréa, Amy & Gaspard. Join us for some focused writing time. All writers and all experience levels are welcome and don’t worry, no one will see what you've written. This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session. Afterward, we’ll have time to chat and get to know each other. We often talk about our successes and challenges as writers. If you don’t have time to stick around, no worries! A note about the format We don’t host critiques or readings. These events are a safe space for writers of all skill levels and genres to work on their craft, so no one will read or critique your writing. For our full event schedule, visit [https://shutupwrite.com](https://shutupwrite.com) Other Important Details: WiFi name/password: on-site Travel / Parking info: métro 4 - 6 - 12 - 13 Venue Guidelines: Please thank our hosts by purchasing something.

This group is for anyone interested in writing in English, whether it be prose or poetry or non-fiction. We get together once a week to listen, critique and support each other in our work. Attendees bring something they have written, six copies, printed out and no longer than seven pages, which they read aloud. They then receive feedback from the rest of the group. The size of the group is limited to 6, so that everyone is able to receive a full 30 minutes of constructive feedback including reading time. If you have nothing to read but would like to come and listen, you are most welcome too. We are an anglophone group and everything is conducted in English, in fact not everyone who comes can speak French. Please bear this in mind if you sign up.

Cette conférence explore le stoïcisme de Marc Aurèle comme une éthique de la confrontation : comment tenir intérieurement sans se mentir sur la dureté du réel ? Comment gouverner ses pensées, ses actes et ses réactions quand presque rien ne dépend de nous ? * **Horaire** : 19h30 * **Tarif** : 10€ **Nous retrouver : 12 rue Falguière, 75015 Paris (métro Falguière ou Montparnasse)**

RSVP [Link here](https://gdg.community.dev/events/details/google-gdg-paris-presents-architecture-asynchrone-kafka-amp-securite-des-llm/) C'est déjà notre 2ème meetup de l'année 2026 ! 🎉 Après une belle rentrée, le GDG Paris continue sur sa lancée et vous donne rendez-vous chez WeScale pour une soirée placée sous le signe de l'architecture robuste et de la sécurité de l'IA. Au programme : de l'architecture événementielle (Kafka), de la sécurité sur les LLM (Prompt Injection), des démos et du networking !--🕒 Agenda 18h30 : Accueil & Networking 👋 19h00 : Talk : Pour que asynchrone ne rime pas avec désynchro + Q&A 19h30 : Session Demo : "Ignore all previous instructions" (Sécurité LLM) 20h30 : Buffet & Échanges 🧀🥤 --🎤 Talk 1 : Pour que asynchrone ne rime pas avec désynchro 🔄 Dans un monde où l'architecture orientée événements (utilisant Kafka ou autre broker) règne en maître, l’intégration de services tiers via des appels REST (HTTP) reste un passage inévitable. Pourtant, ces appels synchrones viennent souvent contredire l’asynchronisme naturel de vos flux de données. Que faire lorsqu’un appel REST échoue ou qu'un consumer ne parvient pas à traiter un message ? Attendre indéfiniment une réponse ? Bloquer une file d’attente critique ? Forcer une surcharge de retries (au risque de créer un chaos total) ? Ces scénarios peuvent rapidement transformer une architecture résiliente en cauchemar. Dans ce talk, nous partagerons une approche pragmatique : mettre en œuvre un mécanisme de retry non bloquant spécialement conçu pour les consommateurs. 👤 Speaker : Long LE (Lead Développeur @ BPI France) --🎤 Talk 2 : "Ignore all previous instructions" : comprendre l'Injection de Prompt et mieux s'en protéger 🤖🛡️ Avez-vous déjà détourné un LLM pour lui faire révéler des secrets ou dire des choses gênantes, juste en choisissant bien vos mots ? Ce n'est pas un bug. Ça existe en production. Ça peut toucher chatbots, RAG, Agents, MCP... Pour ce nouveau rendez-vous GDG Paris 2026, découvrez le "jailbreak" de LLM : techniques d'attaque et playgrounds pour s'exercer outils de Prompt Injection automatisés (PyRIT) frameworks d'IA sécurisée (Google SAIF) solutions de filtrage (Guardrails) Vous verrez ces outils en action, comprendrez mieux les risques et comment construire des applications IA mieux protégées. Attaquant ou défenseur : quel camp choisirez-vous ? 😇😈 👤 Speakers : Pierre Therrode (Lead Developer @ SNCF Connect & Tech). François Nollen (Senior Staff Engineer @ SNCF Connect & Tech). -- ⚠️ Inscription obligatoire.

The Dissident Salon is a weekly poetry and performance series created as an extension of the DISSIDENT Club’s mission to provide a home for dissenting voices, hosted by Alissa Leeds. Rooted in the tradition of the literary salon, it treats writing and performance as public acts that question power and challenge the systems that shape our lives. Each week features a curated performer, followed by open mic sessions open to all. Work may be presented in English, French, or other languages. Multilingual expression is central to the space and reflects the realities of exile, displacement, and exchange that define the DISSIDENT Club. The Salon is an ongoing forum for people who speak publicly and think critically through art. It exists to build community and support sustained creative work within the broader ecosystem of the DISSIDENT Club. **When:** Every Tuesday, starting January 6th, 2026 **Sign-ups:** 8:00 PM **Sets:** Three 45-minute sessions at 9:00 PM, 10:00 PM, and 11:00 PM **Where:** The DISSIDENT Club, 58 rue Richer, 75009 Bring work that confronts. We offer the microphone.

**Welcome to the Paris Poetry Circle!** Now in its 30th year, our English-language poetry reading group continues to bring together lovers of verse and thought in the heart of Paris. 🎉 Join us this Wednesday evening for a gathering of minds and voices as we read and reflect on poems that move, challenge, and illuminate — all shared over some quiet drinks. 🫖☕️🥤🧉🍹 We seek poems that are clear yet profound, sweet or serious — those that carry us forward and help us make sense of the world. We steer clear of the obscure or needlessly complex; we value clarity over cleverness, sincerity over show. Each poem is read anonymously to begin with, without revealing the author, allowing space for open, unbiased interpretation. We then explore it together — carefully, curiously — to uncover what lies beneath the surface. After the meeting, we write a letter of thanks to the living poets we have read at the group, to thank and congratulate them. We revere all the poets of this world. The group is small — usually six or seven thoughtful individuals, up to a maximum of ten. The conversation is warm, intelligent, and grounded. There is no performance, no pressure to contribute, and no cost. Only a shared pursuit of insight, beauty, and fellowship. If that resonates with you, we’d love to welcome you. Bring a poem, or simply bring yourself. 📚✨

Join us for our women's book club meet-up! Food and drinks can be purchased as you wish. \*You will need to confirm your attendance through WhatsApp prior to the event. I will reach out to you personally though messages to add you to the WhatsApp chat\* Book details: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/43890641-hamnet?ac=1&from_search=true&qid=Y6wLHq7P8h&rank=1 Location to be announced.

Greetings writers! Come down and join your fellow wordsmiths for one hour of uninterrupted writing time in the upper level of the Market District Supermarket in Upper Arlington. The main entrance of the shopping center opens onto stairs/elevator leading up to the 2nd floor cafe section where we will have a table displaying a sign with the Shut Up & Write logo. Writing is largely a solitary craft. Practicing with others in a community setting may be the thing you need to fire your own routine. We’ll meet on Wednesday evenings, starting the clock at 6:30, following a brief period of introductions. This is solid writing time and all inclusive. Any project is acceptable, be it fiction, non -fiction, work or homework assignment. All is welcome and will remain private to you. The market boasts a Starbucks, a full service bar and various affordable food options. Parking is plentiful, free Wifi is provided as well as outlets for charging your devices, though they are somewhat limited, so plan accordingly. Show up as early as you like, or stay late. This group tends to socialize some, both before and after the alloted time, but this is not mandatory to you. Feel free to come and go as you please and late arrivals are welcome. The cafe may be noisy on occasion so headphones/ earbuds are reccommended as you see fit. Please try to RSVP if possible so that we may grab enough seats for all—the venue can be busy at times. Feel free to message me privately wth any questions and/ or concerns you may have. Happy writing!
