My Ubuntu story
My first work for Ubuntu was on usplash, I sent some patches I need for my job, and discovered a very hot community of developers. My work was accepted in a few time, and so I began to actively contribute to bugfix, merge and sync.
My involvement
- italian community, teach to new devels, talk in devweek.
- QA, script and builder server
- bug in ubuntu, build machine.
- works in debian: packages and bugs.
Examples of my work / Things I'm proud of
- usplash, but quite old.
vtk merge, even if still bugged
- matita and ikiwiki as an example of debian collaboration.
