About me

My name is Carla Sella I'm married and have a Son that's 8, I work in the IT Department of an Italian firm in Schio, Vicenza - Italy, a very small city in northern Italy not so far from Venice.

My passion and hobby is Linux. At home I stared with Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva), I then passed to Kubuntu, Fedora Core (as at work I had a Red Hat server) and then finally now it's quite a long time that I've been using Ubuntu.

At work, and not only, I've used almost all Windows operating systems, from DOS to Windows 8, and from Windows Server NT to Windows Server 2008, I've been so lucky to use Linux, Xenix, SCO UNIX and MAC OS X.

I'm the typical person that likes hacking on computers, operating systems and programming and I like all that is Linux related, well lately Ubuntu related :P.

I used to program in COBOL developing some applications for my company's management software, but now day's I'm mainly only System Administrator. I also know quite well the world of visualization as my company's servers are all virtual machines on VMWare platform.

In the past, as a hobby, I have developed a web site for my husband's modeling group and a program in Delphi for the management of modeling competitions.

I'm member of the AViLug Linux User Group (http://avilug.it) and Ubuntu Italy.

Contributions

I have been contributing to Ubuntu testing ISO's, kernel and running tests on my Laptop since 2010, more or less (I do not exactly remember as I have first tried to contribute back in 2009 with translations). I am member of the Ubuntu QA Team and Ubuntu Laptop Testing Team. I have collaborated with Ubuntu QA Team carrying out various tests on ISO's, applications, kernel, and on my laptop. I have written some manual test cases. I have been collaborating with Nicholas Skaggs and various app core developers on writing autopilot tests for Ubuntu phone core apps. I realized just peeking around to find what I have been doing for Ubuntu so I could write it here that I am among Ubuntu top 20 testes :P :

Future Goals

Get more involved in Linux as at work most servers, unfortunately, are Windows servers, so I have no change to work with opensource and linux. My goal is to enjoy myself working on linux and open source, I am fascinated by the collaborative environment open source offers and I love hacking on linux and learning more and more about it. I do believe that the only limiting factor of the linux operating system is it's user ;). I must admit that having been to the UDS-R has made me discover what a wonderful community Ubuntu has. Before being to UDS-R I had not really realized how fantastic this community is, so now I would really be honored to be part of it.
