Another conference, "Le Web", will follow the next two days, the 9th
and 10th. Sponsored by Microsoft, Nokia, Google, and many others
including major European telcos, this is a bigger event at 1500 EUR a
seat, and I hear that many industry attendees of Le Web will also come
to the Netbook World Summit the day before. Netvibes will launch a new
version. Paris-based Jolicloud will roll out a new beta called Express
which will be downloadable and is said to create a partition on the
fly for dual boot with Windows (they have worked with Mozilla on cloud
sync and have integrated Activity Streams http://activitystrea.ms/).
With some luck, if we have good press coverage on the 8th, there will
be buzz about Sugar at Le Web; a large number of journalists and
bloggers will attend.
