I guess to some extent Marcom mailing list is a good place to talk about 
an install party, however your probably much better off chatting about 
it to major French Mageia contributors for example, and other French 
users or contributors.  I mean those of us that aren't in France can't 
really help that much with an install party that is going to take place 
in France I guess.

On the subject of install fests, there's an idea to possibly have one 
for my LUG here in England, in September or October, distrowise though 
it may be Mint as well for example, not just Mageia.  Maybe some Ubuntu 
even, none of this has been decided yet, it's just an idea at the moment.

The guy who suggested having an install fest suggested Mint, even though 
he uses Fedora, and so I was like Mageia is rather user friendly as well.

In fact some people would only want one distro really for a install 
fest, but can probably get Mageia installed if there is going to be one 
so :d, even if another distro or two is being installed as well.

P.S

The plan is for Marcom, artwork, and webteam, to merge into one team 
quite soon, because of the lack of active people.
