Something about me
I was born in Guarujà (Brazil) in 1983 but soon moved to Italy; I have lived in Milan, Monza, Modena and now in Lucca since 9 years.
In "real life", I obtained a degree in General Physics in Pisa with a work on the characterization of silicon photomultipliers.
Computers have always been my passion; I first installed linux 7 years ago and I started using Ubuntu since Warty Warthog. After using Debian Sid for a year during Edgy/Feisty release, I now switched back to Gutsy. I think I have reached a quite profound knowledge of linux and its tools and sometimes I write some little bash scripts that are only useful to me, in all likelihood. 
Contribution to the Community
I'm an ubuntero and member of the Italian Team.
My main occupation in the Ubuntu Community is giving support on the #ubuntu-it IRC channel (since 2005); I joined that channel first when I installed Warty and I've almost always been there since then. I have become an operator on #ubuntu-it on late 2006 (if I remember correctly). In these days we are defining the new structure of #ubuntu-it-* channels and their administration and two other ops and I are leading this process. The italian review "Dietro le quinte", inspired from [http://www.behindubuntu.org BehindUbuntu], asked me for an interview that will be ready in few days.
Years ago I made some translations for the Italian wiki, but as of now I think they are obsoleted... I would like to contribute to software translations on launchpad in the near future, following the instructions and priorities of the Italian Translators Team.
