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.
I'm also a translator for upstream GNOME and other projects too:

ekiga
I've worked on the translation of the Gnome2 accessibility guide, the Gnome2 User 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've been working and actually I'm working on upstream documentations:
some changes in seahorse manual
work on doc for brasero
work in progress for empathy ([http://live.gnome.org/Empathy/Documentation live.gnome.org page])
- past contribute to the ubuntu-doc team also
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
- Finding a new job... and moving from Italy....
- 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.
Organise a Ubuntu Day in Italy.
- Future will tell...
