Who am I?
I am 30 years old, and I am studying Computer Engineering at Università Politecnica delle Marche in Italy. My interests and hobby (outside of IT, of course) are photography, jazz music, politic and cooking.
I started using Linux in 1995, when I found a RedHat CD within a computer magazine. Since then, I have used many different distros (Debian, SuSE, Mandrake-Mandriva, Fedora and more), until June 2006, when I installed Dapper and Ubuntu became my favourite operating system. After a few months I started helping in the Italian LoCo Team, and in October 2007 I initiated my journey toward MOTUness.
Ubuntu involvement
MOTU
Starting October 2007, I'm now mostly involved with packaging. My former mentor pitti greatly helped me facing this amazing world and up to now I took care of bugfixes, merges, syncs and brand new packaging. My fields of interest are QA, games, python and science.
Along my activity within the Ubuntu Development Team, I am particularly careful in sending my work (patches, new packages, etc.) back to Debian. I am firmly convinced that cooperation between Ubuntu and Debian makes both them stronger and stronger.
I am a member of Ubuntu-it-dev. This team is composed by Italian Developers that take care of packaging and backporting software according to the requests coming from our Community. We use the Team PPA as our repository.
