Simone Cicero, Mobile Services Engineer at H3G and blogger, interviewed me about free software and open source, below a small excerpt of his article.

Roberto Galoppini is an information technology industry insider of 20 years standing.

Roberto has a tremendous amount of “hands on” experience: he has been involved in research, have founded a company, and participates to the works of various organizations and associations dealing with free software and open source as the well known Sourceforge or the OpenOffice.org Italian Association.

In addition to consulting to companies and organizations involved in the process of designing and implementing their own open source strategies around the world- among its clients IBM, Microsoft, Novell, Poste Italiane and Telecom Italia - Roberto has developed SOS OpenSource, an automated methodology to find, assess and select open source software.
