Wow, what an honor!!! I’ve been interviewed a week ago by the great guys at ICTV.it and today I’m on the HTML.it homepage. Well, the interview is nothing special and sadly it’s in Italian only, but is always good to promote the language and framework you love! Go Rails Go!!!

You guys just cannot Imagine how cool this JavaDay has been.
On my four hours trip to Rome I was revising my speech and felt a bit skeptical about this event.
I know a bunch of the staff people and I know they are great guys, but you know, we’re towards a 2008 drenched in a very mature web-two-oh environment. Java just doesn’t seem that cool anymore.
At least this was my feeling. I’m working a lot with Ruby and Rails and in the Ruby community everything containing the word Java smells old, if doesn’t even stink.
I didn’t expect to find great enthusiasm around this meeting, I thought It would have been just a little JUG meeting on steroids.
Only god knows how I was wrong…

Hi guys, this is just to let you know on July 14 I’ll be giving a speech at the Spring Framework Meeting 07 in beautiful Cagliari, Sardinia. Sardinia is one of the most beautiful places in Italy with its seas and awesome sightseeings so I’m really excited to get there and spend a couple of days with great people.
The event is organized by the Spring Framework Italian User Group crew in collaboration with Java User Group Sardegna and DIEE.
The cool thing is they have managed to have foreign speakers and it seems this meeting is gaining a great momentum.
My speech will be about “Fixtures and Plugins” in the Parancoe framework, in which we tried to introduce some of the nice features of RubyOnRails, but using Java and obviously enough the Spring Framework.
Hope some of you can attend the event. If you plan to get there drop me an email (paolo.dona@seesaw.it) and we can meet or travel alltogether.

Hi guys, I’m very proud to announce our Tabnav talk has been accepted for the RailsConf Europe! I’ll probably be speaking on Tuesday 18 as stated in this sessions panel. I’ll get this chance to refactor our beloved plugin a bit and introduce a few juicy features. I’m sure we’ll have a lot of fun… it seems many italian rubysts are attending the event too.
See you there then, and wish me good luck!

Last week we’ve been invited to hold 2 speeches at the Ferrara LinuxDay 2006 in the beautiful city of Ferrara.
We had a lot of fun with the guys and had even the opportunity to meet an Italian linux kernel committer: Andrea Arcangeli who works for Suse/Novell.
Paolo did a presentation about the RubyOnRails framework and Michele explained how to deploy and mantain a rails application in a production environment.
You can find our photostream here and videos of the event will be available soon. In the meantime you can see the slideshow in our speech list section.
I’ve been in touch with many linux user groups so far but I can’t stop from suggesting you to join the Ferrara LUG. Those guys are so great!
