Red Hat Italia organized its fifth open source day last week in Rome, and it was quite a success by the numbers: 700 people subscribed to the event, about 500 attendees, 6 talks in the plenary session and 12 speeches in the parallel sessions.
I have been following the whole event before running the final round-table, and I wish to share here some notes from the event.
The Italian biweekly newspaper “Corriere delle Comunicazioni” in collaboration with HP and Intel invite everyone interested in knowing more about mission critical data centers to join us on the 5th of July, at the Hotel Nazionale in Rome.
Gildo Campesato - Founder and Director of Corriere delle Comunicazioni - will welcome attendees at 14:15 PM, later I will give an introductory speech before introducing our round table speakers, including Alessandro Musumeci (Ferrovie dello Stato), Giovanni Rando Mazzarino (Lottomatica), Emilio Frezza (Comune di Roma), Giuseppe Maria Armenia (ICE), Gaetano Scebba (Api), Alessandro Gabrieli (HP) and Carmine Stragapede (Intel).
I had already interviewed Luca Passani - the inventor and maintainer of WURFL, the Wireless Universal Resource FiLe - a few years back, but now that his new venture ScientiaMobile hit the market it is time to talk to him again.
I asked Luca to tell us about the new company, its licensing and business strategy.
Better Software 2011, the Italian IT conference on software development for IT managers and entrepreneurs now at its third edition, will be held in Florence on the 27-28 of June 2011.

The Bruno Kessler Foundation (FBK) - a research organization of the Autonomous Province of Trento that promotes research in the areas of science, technology, and humanities - on the 21th of April 2011 will host a speech of mine about use, promotion and improvement of open source software by and for Italian public administrations.
See you there!
