"The ‘entrepreneur’ depends on the self-consciousness of the fact of being entrepreneur, while the person involved in a business ventrue is a business person (with stress on the business part). It’s like the entrepreneur just tries to be a business person."

This quote it’s mine, and I don’t know if I’m right, but it’s funny.

In Spanish there’s a more than subtle difference between “emprendedor” y “empresario”, and today seems cooler being en entrepreneur than a businessman, despite the difference. It’s like “the web” and “the web 2.0”. I don’t know why :).

A BarCamp in Valencia? I’m thinking seriously about it (at least I think about it in Spanish). After being involved in the organization of FLOSS events at my hometown, I must admit I like it. All the work, the stress, the problems, and sometimes the satisfaction of a job well done. I’m a Open Source advocate, you know, but in this case a more reasonable tagline would be: Web 2.0, Open Source and Social Media. Valencia is the third most populated city in Spain (wikipedia says 1,583,331 habitants in the metropolitan area, data from 2008). It could be a nice event to spend a weekend in this beautiful city and know some local geeks. What do you think? Update: we’re moving… BarCamp Valencia.
