Who I am

I am 33 year old Linux enthusiast from Prato, Tuscany, Italy. By day, I am a Free Software freelance consultant/programmer. I have been using Linux (Slackware, Red Hat, Debian and finally Ubuntu) for about 13 years now. My Linux journey began when I looked for a stable system to connect to local Fidonet BBS node. In 2000, I co-founded the LUG of the my city PLUG - Prato Linux User Group where I advocate Linux and Ubuntu.

My Ubuntu story

Late 2004, a friend of my local LUG introduced me to Ubuntu - then version 4.10. At the time, I was using Debian and really was impressed with what Ubuntu offered and have never looked back.

My involvement

At the moment in Ubuntu I'm maintaining the realtime kernel flavour. I have provided a realtime flavour for Feisty as external debian repositary, for Gutsy directly in official archives, Hardy, Intrepid, Jaunty, Karmic until to the last Lucid. For this effort I'm joined to Ubuntu Kernel Team (thanks BenC). I'm also member of the Ubuntu Studio Team which use realtime kernel as fundamental piece.

Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of

I have made Ubuntu package for Arduino and I provide it through this PPA. For involve other people I have created a Team that at the moment consist of 3 member plus other 2 proposed. In this effort I have took care (triage bugs and fix some of these) of packages related to Arduino avrdude, librxtx-java, gcc-avr, gdb-avr, binutils-avr, avr-libc.

I really proud of my first certification (that is LPI1) and also of my little effort to remove BKL (Big Kernel Lock) form Linux kernel.

Areas of work

I have always worked with UbuntuStudio Team and recently with some ScicosLab developers for provide a better platform for industrial users.

Right now I'm working on provide an (soft) realtime kernel for multimedia Ubuntu users and an (hard) realtime kernel for industrial, advanced and professional Ubuntu users https://launchpad.net/~abogani/+archive/ppa.

At the moment the linux-rt package is in a really good shape. It have a very few bugs and it works very well.

Things I could do better

Surely I could keep better up-to-date linux-rt package also after a new Ubuntu version is released.

Plans for the future

General

Improve further my knwoleadge about packaging.

What I like least in Ubuntu

Ubuntu became day after day more and more bureaucratic.
