= About Ubuntu =
My first try with Ubuntu was on a friend's webserver. He was unhappy of Windows 2000 Server, so he asked me to help him to setup a Linux-based platform. He had an Ubuntu CD so we decided to install it. I was so impressed of its features that I decided to use it on my box too.
Plans for the future include improving overall Quality Assurance infrastructure implementing new tools to be used together with the one already in place in order to simplify testing and fixing phases for issues raised during Ubuntu development cycle.

=== Ubuntu and me ===
After many years with Debian, I feel "at home" with Ubuntu. What I like the most is the community behind this distribution. Some times ago I noticed a [https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/50610 strange behaviour], I received good feedbacks and I was able to fix the bug quickly.

=== Ubuntu and business ===
I work as an accountant in a big enterprise in Northern Italy, but I am responsible for IT-related matters too. We needed to upgrade our internal servers based on Windows NT in order to achieve better performances. Ubuntu was my choiche and now it manages e-mails, file storage and PDC, but we are planning to migrate [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAP_R/3 SAP R/3], our ERP program, to a Linux-based platform. With this solution we reduced noticeably our IT total cost of ownership and we achieved a better overall security and stability.
I am member of [https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-universe-sponsors Ubuntu Sponsors for Universe], I like spending some time to check patches and debdiffs provided by our precious contributors. Their work is invaluable because it is very useful for overall Ubuntu development. Contributors will turn developers soon, providing them advices and guidance will be of sure help.
