Fedora Ambassador Day EMEA - Basel

Just a big “thanks” to Sandro and all others guys for the great organization of FAD (Fedora Ambassador Day).

It was in Basel last weekend, and it saw more then 20 Fedora Ambassadors involved into activities planning for next year.

…and, of course, it came out with some very funny social events, like the visit at Botanic Garden and a great city trip. :-)

What do you think if next FAD will be in Italy? Too far? :-)

“Free as a Beer” in Rome and Milan

Recently Byte-Code has started a new kind of “social” event: Free as a Beer!
It’s a very smart and informal way to join together developers, supporters and other kind of “open-source” lovers.

Last week I was in Rome and Milan to join a couple of “free-as-a-beer” event, and I really enjoyed it! At the end I counted more or less 150 pints of (free) beer. I hope to see new calendar soon for other cities :-)

…and, of course, all beers are provided by Byte-Code for free!!!

Halloween party

With the (usual) couple of weeks of delay, here you are some funny shots taken on Halloween party in Byte-Code. On FaceBook you an find all other “byte-code” related event taken in Halloween… :-) :-) :-)

I think we should make a contest to select the “best” (or ridiculous) photo. What do you think about it?

European Condor Week - Barcelona

I’ve been a bit too busy during this “post August Holiday” period (yep, very long period!)… so my blog is affected by an evident obsolescence… (and my “email-in-queue-to-be-answered too…)

Now it’s time to fix some promises I took some weeks ago.

In particular, I’ve promised to condor team to publish online my photos taken on European Condor Week in Barcelona.

So, here you are:

The wonderful location for the event. Really cool!

See you next-next year in Poland. :-)

LinuxDay 2008 - Lodi

As usual, during last week of October, Linux Day was made in Italy, in more than 123 cities!

It’s one of the most exciting event about OpenSource in Italy. I’ve got the honour to present a couple of talks about Fedora and the history of Linux (as “political” talk) and Ruby on Rails (as technical talk).

I’m not sure why some guys want to change the event name to “gnu/linuxday” (it’s horrible!).

I hope it still remains just “Linux Day” :-)
