## My experience with Ubuntu began with Dapper Drake and, since the first time, I was fascinated by the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. Few weeks later, I started to contribute to Italian Community growth in different ways, at first giving support in technical boards of the italian forums and in IRC channels, then reporting bugs and writing and reviewing howtos for the Italian wiki. My work was appreciated by wiki administrators so I was appointed as wiki ''editor'' on May 2007. In the same period I started to contribute to Italian translations (software and documentation) and one month later I became an Ubuntu Italian LoCo team official member. ## I hope that Ubuntu will reach a wider diffusion and I'm trying to make it a reality, by installing Ubuntu systems on a even growing number of people's laptop and desktop and offering my free support. ## I started to contribute to the Ubuntu development during the Intrepid dev-cycle, and now I'm an Ubuntu Developer and a Debian Developer. ''Tell us how and when you got involved, what you liked working on and what you could probably do better.'' |

##I am an Ubuntu MOTU Developer and I also contribute to the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team as co-maintainer for a number of audio&video production packages, in particular I focus my attention on sound synthesis and processing tools like synthesizers (bristol, alsa modular, ams, ...), filters, samplers, editors (snd, lives, etc) and more. ##Obviously, I try to properly maintain those packages for both Debian and Ubuntu by uploading new upstreams' stable releases, triaging and fixing bugs. |

My Ubuntu story
My experience with Ubuntu began with Dapper Drake and, since the first time, I was fascinated by the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. Few weeks later, I started to contribute to Italian Community growth in different ways, at first giving support in technical boards of the italian forums and in IRC channels, then reporting bugs and writing and reviewing howtos for the Italian wiki. My work was appreciated by wiki administrators so I was appointed as wiki editor on May 2007. In the same period I started to contribute to Italian translations (software and documentation) and one month later I became an Ubuntu Italian LoCo team official member.
I started to contribute to Ubuntu development during the Intrepid cycle, without any precise goal but I tried to get experience in most of the development processes, through merges, syncs, fixes and SRUs, without focusing on a specific area of development.
Now I am an Ubuntu Developer and a Debian Developer.
My involvement
I am involved in Ubuntu as Ubuntu MOTU Developer and I also contribute to the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team as admin and co-maintainer for a number of audio&video production packages, in particular I focus my attention on sound synthesis and processing tools like synthesizers (bristol, alsa modular, ams, ...), filters, samplers, editors (snd, lives, etc) and more. Obviously, I try to properly maintain those packages for both Debian and Ubuntu by uploading new upstreams' stable releases, triaging and fixing bugs.
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
Giving my help to extend LV2 support (UbuntuStudio/TaskLV2Inclusion) for Maverick.
- More than 1000 uploads since Intrepid.
I touched the following main packages:
- moin
- diffstat
- git
- simple-scan
- ncurses
- rrdtool
- create-resources
- flac
- wvdial
- libmtp (which I maintain for Debian, too)
- libgpod
- pessulus
- openbabel
- fontforge
- upx-ucl
- jinja2
- cracklib2
- joystick
- imlib2
- sphinx
- libexif
- libieee1284
- gpm
Areas of work
I maintain a number of packages in both Debian and Ubuntu (here is my DD portfolio). I am a MOTU developer and member of the Sponsors and Ubuntu Review teams.
As Ubuntu Developer I maintain the following packages which are available only in Ubuntu, too:
- aften
- avidemux
- bombono-dvd
- divxenc
- dvd95
- dvdrip
- dvdrip-queue
- dvdwizard
- event-execflow
- h264enc
- installation-report-generator
- mandvd
- mp3fs
- tablet-encode
- uck
- videoporama
- xcfa
- xvidenc
On the Debian side, I am an admin of the Debian Multimedia Maintainers team and member of Python {Applications Packaging,Modules} and GStreamer Packages teams.
I try everyday to properly maintain those packages for both Debian and Ubuntu by uploading new upstreams' stable releases, triaging and fixing bugs. Of course I work to minimize the delta between Debian and Ubuntu wherever and whenever possible.
Things I could do better
Nothing in particular in my mind now, but I am always open to get advices, suggestions and criticism.
Plans for the future
General
- Do my best on the sponsors-queue to keep it clean by reviewing and sponsoring patches.
Work hard to see Ubuntu becoming the most used GNU/Linux distribution for audio&video production purposes.
Take a more closer look from an Ubuntu-specific view at the packages that I already maintain for Debian, paying a particular care for all those related to audio&video tasks/layers.
- Do my best to make Ubuntu more stable, reliable and secure everyday, by touching core items when needed.
What I like least in Ubuntu
There are still many reports, contributions and patches in the sponsors queue to review and apply.

General feedback
It's been a while since I sponsored things for Alessio, and I do not have that much personal experience with him. The sponsorings that I did for him were mostly okay, though, and he's doing a fine job with getting changes into Debian.
Specific Experiences of working together
Simple syncs/rebuilds, which all were okay:
Bug fixes with package changes:
163518 (ok)
294224 (ok with a few nitpicks)
338556 (ok)
399625 (ok)
506791 (upgrade wasn't tested, needed fix)
537386 (ok)

General feedback
We work together on gnome-commander (we maintain it together in Debian) and Alessio is doing a great job there. He modernized the packaging and did a good job with bugreports. From my experience working together I can recommend him for core-dev.
