Electeur français, vote le pacte !

For english speaking people, you can download the Pact for the Environnement presentation document.

@Turn-over - really ?

People need to work on interesting projects not only on routine ones.

Management should not be stupid enough to kill enthusiasm and creativity ...

Work should be organized : every person should know his place within the company. Every person should know where the company and himself goes in both short and long term.

Every person should feel himself as an expert. Management should propagand democracy instead of authoritarianism.

Involve all people - not only top managers - to corporate development process, and let them suggest innovative ways to grow your company.

Good salary also helps :-)

@Kill Bill

I'm currently working hard to finish the "presentation pack " (executive summary, business plan, budget, trademark registration, ...) to be able to start the roadshow and raise some money.

NB: Kill Bill is a new kind of venture french firm specializing in funding startups by joining together business angels : share the means, share the risks, share the results. We help startups through what is for many the hardest step, from technical product availability to company making money.

@iTrade

Because of activity just above, not so much time to work on the project :-(

iTrade project

The community around the project is growing slowly but surely. We receive much positive feedback. And the roadmap is consolidated around the functions most awaited by the users.

The developments progress more quickly for this winter period. On the short radar : better refresh mechanism, printing support, true indicators back-end, more graph options.

You can help us also by joining the project. Contact information is proposed on this page, some hacking information here.

(recruiter) : ah ?! what is a smart boss ?

DirectTV 9S built by Space Systems Loral will offer to the American a greater choice in the services of TV diffusion and will precede the future satellites with multiple beams for the multimedia applications.

Optus D1,2,3 T built by Orbital American Sciences Corporation will ensure 15 years of direct television, Internet connection, telephony and data transmission on Australia and New Zealand.

Great Products !

I wrote recently on the situation in Lebanon; my impression that the conflict was disproportionate.

Still not convinced ? read this official document from Amnesty International ("... Many of the violations examined in this report are war crimes that give rise to individual criminal responsibility ...")
