Ubuntu Wiki

Who I am

• I was a student of Computer Science at the "[http://web.uniud.it Università di Udine]", I work for my dad's factory now, programming in BASIC, BusinessBASIC.... (yeah... don't tell me!) and working with Photoshop/Inkscape/GIMP... but I'm always looking for a job concerning computer science!

• My town [http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vittorio_Veneto Vittorio Veneto]

Things I do for Ubuntu - GNU/Linux

I'm editor/administrator for the [http://wiki.ubuntu-it.org Italian wiki], administrator of the [https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-l10n-it/ Ubuntu Italian Translators] team and member of the Italian Locoteam.

What I usually do is translating in Launchpad and refining the Italian wiki, but sometimes I say my word even on the [http://forum.ubuntu-it.org/index.php Italian forum]!

I'm also a translator for upstream GNOME. I'm in charge of Planner, Seahorse, gnome-media, brasero, Gedit, gnome-power-manager, xchat-gnome, I've worked on the translation of the Gnome2 accessibility guide, F-Spot and Gaim/Pidgin. Sometimes I help others who want to start translating for GNOME or Ubuntu (when they ask me for help! ;). I'm now trying to complete the translation of GNOME User Guide and of compiz, compiz-fusion, emerald and CompizConfig Settings Manager (I'm almost finished with these... but it seems there are problem uploading them).

I've contributed also to seahorse's manual (adding a new section to it).

Sometimes I report bugs on Malone or [http://bugzilla.gnome.org/ Gnome-Bugzilla].

In the past (and present...) I've contributed a little for the ubuntu-doc team.

Specifications

Here are some specification that I posted on [https://launchpad.net/ Launchpad]:

• [https://launchpad.net/products/evolution/+spec/weblinks-in-memos-and-todos N°1]: this one was suggested working with Evolution. When I want to save some weblinks in a todo (or memo) I just grab the link from firefox and paste it in the description box... but maybe a week later when I check the todo list I can't open the link from Evolution, seems like it doesn't recognize it as a link.

• [https://launchpad.net/products/rosetta/+spec/rosetta-i18n N°2]: Rosetta is a tool to help people translate project into their language... but Rosetta speaks only one language! Why not have Rosetta translated in my language?

• [https://launchpad.net/products/rosetta/+spec/rosetta-online-dictionary N°3]: a dictionary-glossary for Rosetta. For discussion MiloCasagrande/Dictionary.

What I'm thinking at the moment

• Plans... hmm... trying to have a 99.9% Italian GNOME (not only UI but also manuals... that's tough!)
• Mastering Python... I'm starting to know it. My plan... writing an apps for managing my growing books collection (I'm a hard reader)... and maybe start working on a small managment information system for my dad's factory (BASIC is so old...)

• Knowing a little better DocBook... (contributing for the doc-team and for seahorse manual helped me)

• Organise a Ubuntu Day (open for all) in Italy and a Italian Community Meeting...

• Future will tell...
