I'm that ESUG member :)

I will set up a new page (following: http://www.esug.org/promotionactions/summertalk2007/)

ESUG will sponsor 5 or 6 projects. You will get 2500 Euros.

Now I would like you to send to me your projects. The board will then  
vote.
Now what is really important is that you get a mentor (which should be  
comitted to mentor you).
