Le Web 3 is superbly timed as a great place to get lots of feedback from great minds, so that we can further develop our product and distribution. Plus we are starting to see audience growth in France, so it would be great to pop over the Channel and explore the reasons behind this.

Le Web would give me the opportunity to meet the hot people in the biz, pitch my ideas to angels and, last but not least, to shake hands of and take pictures with Loic, Michael and many more of the guys I respect, read daily and hope to someday follow.

One of the biggest challenges for those of us who are bootstrapping startups, that aren't located in the forest collectively known as silicon valley, is that its hard for us to make an impression. You can build all of the amazing services in the world, but if you can't generate buzz and interest in the heart of the tech industry then what your building will likely go nowhere. A chance to go to LeWeb on TCs dime for me, would kill two birds with one stone: 1. We'd get that big opportunity to share our vision of the future of the travel platform and how our startup, Travature.com, plans to shape it. Basically, a chance for our tree to make some noise. 2. We'd save some money and thus in the spirit of bootstrapping we'll be able to keep the lights on in our office :-) P.S. If we don't win, then good luck to the selected winner. If you end up needing cheap tickets to Paris, you might try our airfare comparison engine at http://www.travature.com - we meta search dozens of travel websites and airlines for the cheapest fares, so maybe you'll save some money.

Well if you insist ... the latest French thing with me? hmmmm .... http://fakesteveballmer.blogspot.com François Bancilhon, CEO of some little Linux company has written an open letter on his blog: An open letter to Steve Ballmer He accuses me of bribing the government of Nigeria into replacing their stupid little Mandrovia OS on an order of 17,000 computers with Windows! His deal was already complete, the computers being delivered to schools, the monies paid: when suddenly the Nigerians informed Francois that on delivery the hard-drives would be reformatted and Windows installed! He rails: "Hey Steve, how do you feel looking at yourself in the mirror in the morning?" Well Frenchy! I feel pretty good, pretty darned good indeed! I wake up with any of several different ... never-mind. But, I am carried to the shower but my assistants, dressed, groomed and briefed every morning. I feel pretty good indeed! I would normally ignore any such accusations from you people, but for some reason this one disturbed me, so I told legal to reply, this is their message: "Microsoft strongly believes that individuals, governments and other organisations should be free to choose the software and other technologies that best meet their needs. We believe Microsoft offers the best overall option of value, integration, interoperability and support, without complexity or added dependency on services." In other words, it was our strong friendly relationships with certain key government officials, their families and knowledge of their personal "needs" that influenced these persons to scuttle your little OS on these computers. Thats just the way business is done Frenchy! If you can't take the heat get out of the Smoke-hut! Don’t get me started on the FRENCH!

My name is Mariano. I am on the edge of deciding whether or not to leave my day job and give 100% of my time to a project I co-founded. From the conference I believe I will get that final "boost of enthusiasm" to make the jump into the entrepreneurial world PLUS extra know-how and networking possibilities. Specifically I would like to attend: Personalization 2.0... 3.0 .. the projection of a personal image Making things personal... investing Evolving entrepreuership. I can easily reach Paris but I can't afford a ticket to the conference. I'll get the best ROI out of this!! Best, Mariano. Hi!
