Dear Loic Le Meur,
No I am not happy to have Mr. Sarkozy here. I don't care if Nicolas Sarkozy changed all his schedule just for you or this conference to be here. He is a politician, he knows his schedule, you surely informed him about the event - hey you two are best friends as it seems.
Why didn't he apply, why is he not a part of the programm? Why don't you tell your audience that you plan to give some personal political show? Maybe because people who attend this conference are not interested in? At least I am not, and I am a client who paid for that. And what do your partners say? Did they pay for that? Maybe they appreciate that - I mean there are upcoming elections in France... Does Money corrupt the Blogosphere at this level already - on such a massive scale?
No I am not a part of the so called creative class for any french politician I don't know and who is talking to me, a European citizen!, in french. I am not here for some catchy newspaper headlines that this guy showed his face at this so so Web2.0 conference to show his support for this new people who are so so open minded and critical. You abuse 1.000 participants to be part of something they maybe don't want to be part of!
That really pisses me off! Excuse my french.
What also really shocks me, that at least around me (some 50 people) everybody protestet against this permanent "change of programm" which brings almost NO added value to a Web conference. But they all keep their seats - they are all silent. They don't object. Are we sheeps here to accept this affront? This is a very very sad evidence of incapacity.
I am disapointed. I am disappointed of you, this conference and I will never attend LesBlogs/LeWeb anymore - But as I imagine you won't give a damn, as you don't give a damn about your audience as it seems.
Best regards,
Dieter Rappold
P.S.: and don't get me wrong - it's not about really interested politicians who want to enter a real dialogue. That's totally different. This show today makes a monkey circus out of this conference...

OK, it's easy to critizise something but this is too much!
I totally believe Loic LeMeur that it took 6 weeks to organize that conference - that explains the many many things not working here. Starting from crappy washing rooms (4 per sex / for 1.000 people!), a non-working WIFI (at least we had to thank Orange various times), to programm changes every 30 minutes a party location said to be one of the best in Paris (I hope, no I know Paris has more to offer!) which was just mediocre - alright the food was good and it seems, that at least Marc Canter is pleased with that...
Well it was great to have Shimon Peres here - he is a charismatic man. But then we had an extremely interesting session about videoblogging and TV with Gabe McIntyre, Anil de Mello and Cyrill. Anil was about 2min on the floor telling us about his +3,5 Million Users per month! Some + 185.000 Downloads per day! and his ideas about the future of the medium - and the comes Loic and cuts the session because some french presidential candidate enters the floor....
Alright this starts to be a political show?? What? And this guy starts to talk in french - this is said to be an international conference with an international audience and we get to see some french politician talking french to us? What is this - we live in Europe in the year 2006 and I give a damn about national political shows... Did I pay for that? I didn't.
If Loic has any political ambitions, it's OK, but then he sould say that and he should organize a congress for that but he shouldn't abuse the LeWeb3 audience for this.
Protest!
