I'm Valerio Bozzolan. I'm active in the Free software movement. I live around Milano and Torino. I was freelance, then I stopped, to enjoy a real life. I'm actually involved as GNU/Linux sysadmin and developer. My work consists in knowning very superficially many things.
If you want to talk with me about an awesome idea in which I also should invest, please give up (because in that case you need an investor, not a programmer).
I'm president of Italian Linux Society since April 2024 to April 2027 (unpaid role).
I'm volunteer active member in these beautiful non-profits: Border Radio · InformAzioni.wiki.
I have been working collaboratively with Wikimedia CH since 2019.
Sono socio di Wikimedia Italia, attivo nell'area tecnica (ruolo non retribuito), e sono stato membro della Tech Commission of Wikimedia Italia da gennaio 2022 a fine 2025 (ruolo non retribuito). Tutte le commissioni consultive sono poi state chiuse nel 2026 (con presidente Ferdinando Traversa). Quindi i potenziali problemi li devo indovinare da solo (siccome non ci contatta più nessuno 7GG prima delle decisioni 😸). Cercasi sfera di cristallo.
Before being president of Italian Linux Society, I was board director since April 2021 to April 2024 (unpaid role).
I like working with this fluffy stuff.

Write me here to talk about freedom and free software.

For the records: it is not a crime to send me an OpenPGP encrypted e-mail!
If you don't know about OpenPGP, have fun with my "indovinello del cattivo corriere" (IT).
ReadHere you are a list of some Free/Libre Software stuff I've done.
Some of these things are now dead, fortunately.
