Introduction



My name is Alberto Milone, I graduated [1st level degree (equivalent to a BA) - December 2005, 2nd level degree (equivalent to a MA) - March 2008] in Foreign Languages (the name of the course was "Lingue Moderne per la Comunicazione Internazionale") at the Università del Salento. I was born in Turin in 1983 but I have spent most of my life in Lecce. My current interests range from the study of the English language to (open source) software development (on GNU/Linux distributions), for which I have an insane passion.

I am particularly interested in a GNU/Linux distro called Ubuntu Linux. Ubuntu is a Debian-based distro by Canonical. According to Canonical's webpage: "Ubuntu" is an ancient African word, meaning "humanity to others". Ubuntu also means "I am what I am because of who we all are". The Ubuntu Linux distribution brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world.

One of the pillars of Ubuntu is its Community. The Forums, the Wiki, the USDF (Ubuntu Storage Document Facility), and all their members are always ready to help you out and to show you the best way to enjoy your Ubuntu experience.

As a moderator (known as tseliot) of the English forum Ubuntuforums.org;I have the pleasure to work (as a volunteer) side by side with other Staff members who ensure that the community keep up with its (in my opinion) high standards.

I am an Ubuntu member (approved by the Ubuntu Community Council) since August 22 2006.

(a program which I developed) was included in (a GNU/Linux distribution based on Ubuntu) version 2.1 codename "Bea" (December 20 2006) and in its recent releases. Envy is also included in several other distributions.

(Envy's Next Generation) was included (April 11 2008) in codename "Hardy Heron" (8.04) (in the "universe" repository) thanks to my collaboration with the Ubuntu developers.
