Profilo di Valerio Bozzolan

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 volunteer chair of the board of Italian Linux Society since April 2024 to April 2027.

I'm volunteer member of the Tech Commission of Wikimedia Italia.

I'm volunteer active member in these beautiful non-profits: Border Radio · InformAzioni.wiki.

I have been working collaboratively with Wikimedia CH since 2019.

I was volunteer board director of Italian Linux Society since April 2021, to April 2024.

E-mail

These are my e-mail addresses. If I write to you from other addresses, it's not me.

  • boz at reyboz dot it
    Write me here for whatever reason. It's a safe e-mail account, hosted by myself.

  • gnu at linux dot it
    Write me here to talk about freedom and free software.

  • presidente at linux dot it

For the records: it is not a crime to send me an OpenPGP encrypted e-mail!

OpenPGP key
What's this?

If you don't know about OpenPGP, have fun with my "indovinello del cattivo corriere" (IT).
