Contributions To Ubuntu

  • Most importantly, I am one of the very active members of Ask Ubuntu, contributed around 300 answers at the time of writing this, and worked my way up the top users by reputation. I have been elected community moderator for the site on February 15 2011.

  • I created the the Ask Ubuntu Lens, integrating AskUbuntu.com into Unity (also on launchpad). To create a nicer experience, I've also written one of two (independent) search engines for AskUbuntu.

  • I've recently kicked off the Ask Ubuntu Classroom and held one session so far, with another one coming up. Other contributors have made this effort, even though it's very young, quite a success already. We are now looking into ways of integrating the Ask Ubuntu Classroom with #ubuntu-classroom.

My plans and ideas for Ubuntu

  • I see community support as one of the major differentiators between Ubuntu and other operating system, not a substitute for traditional support, but one of the key benefits. I therefore would like to help advance the coordination and foster innovation in the Ubuntu community support infrastructure. I see myself as being very capable of enabling support greatness in the community; This is what I want to continue to spend my time on.

Testimonials

Stefano is one awesome guy. I <3 his work, specially VictoryChat. He is a very talented programmer and web designer, he has contributed alot to Ask Ubuntu,and has helped me in learning python. A must candidate for Ubuntu membership -- amith

Stefano is friendly, approachable and knowledgeable - his work on other projects outside Ubuntu (such as Victory Chat, his numerous small Python projects etc) is very good as well. -- jamesgifford

I've been working with Stefano on askubuntu.com this cycle and the last one. Though his excellent answers speak for themselves, I am more impressed with his ability to help others improve by doing the not-so-glamarous editing and retagging of questions and answers on the site in order to make it a valuable resources for everyone. I plan on mentoring him over the next coming months as we continue to work on the site.

Stefano has also been working with Neil on the DX team on Lenses for Unity, which is a handy functionality that will get more important in the future, so having someone pounding on the API and then working directly with DX to make that great for app authors has been invaluable.

One thing I would recommend is to become more involved in other parts of the projects, perhaps a local team or something of that nature to help "round" you out. -- jorge 2010-12-07 16:15:17

Stefano Palazzo is a great member of askubuntu.com and he has provided a great deal of support there. His answers are always knowledgeable and friendly. -- IsaiahHeyer

stefano-palazzo is a very kind person who is always trying to help people in all the way he can. He is very polite and a knowledgeable person, and dedicated to the Ubuntu community. I fully support his ubuntu membership. -karthick87

As a moderator on Ask Ubuntu I've seen a wide variety of users from both helpful, to the less than helpful (troll-like). Stefano has offered both excellent questions and answers as well as participation both on the site and within the community chat. He consistently provides excellent and knowledgeable feedback on both the site and chat. His constant participation has helped our community grow. His knowledge of German and English have also assisted in the translation of LaunchPad projects, such as AptUrlRedirector -- MarcoCeppi
