Tech Day - Report

meLast Sunday, 15th of June, Italian Fedora Ambassadors, Pavia’s TiLUG and the City of Garlasco (Pavia) held an afternoon session that featured six presentations having interdisciplinary interests:

  • Matteo Pasotti, from TiLUG, spoke about the philosophy of the Free Software Movement and the GNU/Linux project.
  • I and Luca Foppiano, both Fedora Italian Ambassadors, gave out a talk, followed by
    a very-interesting Q/A session, about The Fedora Project.
  • Giovanni Condello, from TiLUG, spoke about 3D environments (gaming, drawing, compositing desktop effects) and tools under Linux.
  • Marco Moraschi spoke about interoperability between applications under Linux and Microsoft Windows.
  • Marco Graia, from Spike Reply,  gave out a technical talk about Web Applications/Web Services attacks.
  • Last, but not least, Alessandro Rubini (Linux Kernel Developer) spoke about Open Source Licenses and Software patents.

It was a great chance to talk to lots of folks (about 40) about technical and non-technical things.
I’d personally like to congratulate everyone who attended and organized it (as well to The Fedora Project for its support in many ways).
