Self-introduction: Enzo Lalli, Italian

[Vincenzo Lalli]

Hi everybody, my name is Enzo, I am 30 and I am from Rome, Italy.

My FAS is "artax", I am Italian mother tongue and I am going to 
translate from English to Italian.

I got a legal background, as I graduated in Law.

I've always been interested in languages and I had the opportunity to 
study and practice English; I also used to be fluent in French and I 
started...to study Dutch...however, for family and personal reasons I 
begun to practice mainly English, as I have good friends in the US who 
gave me the chance to practice it; plus, travels, work and my education 
path definitely gave me many reasons to use my English skills.

The sad thing is that I set aside other languages, but as soon as I can 
I'll start studying them again.

About my interest in computing and GNU/Linux, I think my path is 
somewhat funny and interesting to tell.
Years ago I bought a new computer, spending quite a lot of money as it 
was my first.."good quality" computer if you like.
So...I did open the box, just amazing, couldn't wait to use it, curious 
to know why it costed me so much..the thing is...it ran Vista....in a 
few weeks I understood that I should have found another way to use my 
brand new computer: I got the clear feeling that I couldn't use it as I 
thought I was free to, as it simply prevented me from running any open 
source and free software. In short I found unacceptable not to be able 
to exercise my freedom while not breaching any law.

So... I switched to GNU/Linux and I used Ubuntu for quite a long time, 
still never being so much into it though, as I remained a regular user, 
being interested in just the few things I needed for work and study; 
however, as time passed, I realized such important implications stem 
from what software you use; it simply triggered my interest and passion 
and I found myself into learning more...and by doing this I also found 
amazing the way the learning process is nurtured by the freedom you 
enjoy because of the Free Software.

Therefore..I thought that I got so much from the Free Software movement, 
GNU/Linux and the whole community which provided me such a chance for 
learning...and I felt like not having given enough back.

When I learnt about the Fedora Project, I started to think to join 
it..it took me a while to decide it, since I am still unable to assess 
how much time will I be able to offer to the project. Yet, that wouldn't 
have been a sufficient reason for giving up even before trying.

So...let's try!

Yours sincerely,


Enzo Lalli
