Hi people!
Here’s Ilario, I had this Ubuntu One account since eons but just used it from time to time for reporting bugs, just realized that there is also this huge forum ![]()
I’m located in Barcelona (precisely, Sant Andreu de Palomar district, even if I was born in Italy) and currently looking for a job. Linux has always been one of my top hobbies (trying to be a power user, coordinating the amazing LibreMesh community, …) and also a work tool (using ARM single board computers for controlling electronics), even if I am a fanatic since when I started using Red Hat 7.1 in 2002 (I was 14 back then, and it took few more years to get a 56k internet connection). Maybe I am not the only one who thought: “if my day job is about my hobby, then I lose my hobby”. So I enjoyed working in chemistry (PhD and post-doc), electronic engineering (in a small company spin off of a research center) and doing some coding (Python, R, Matlab, bash, Lua), but now I feel it’s finally time to really contribute full time to some good open source stuff, so I applied for a position at Canonical ![]()
Ah, and regarding computers, what I really want is that people (and myself) can have a computer that just works (and does not spy on you or sell your data or push advertisement to you), so I think I will go around this forum looking for some juicy bug to smash.
Ciao!
Ilario
P.S. currently my other hobbies are: attending the local hacklab, as mentioned above, and designing novel board games (with the No Board Games collective noboardgames.com).
