Community

I’ve been involved in open-source communities since 2008. Governance, packaging, mentoring, writing docs, organizing events — whatever a project needs at the time.

Governance

I served on the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee (FESCo) from December 2024 to December 2025, reviewing technical changes headed for future RHEL releases. I also proposed and drove three Fedora changes (Fedora Sway Spin, X.org-less Sericea, Fedora Atomic Desktop) and worked on Golang packaging policy and CVE handling.

In Kubernetes, I’m an Italian documentation approver and led the Italian translation for the 1.24 release.

Cross-community work

• Co-proposed bringing GitHub Actions to IBM Power by partnering IBM with Microsoft. 130+ customers voted for it; it shipped in May 2025.
• Co-developed a ransomware-resistant backup architecture (OpenShift, OADP, ACM), published as a Red Hat Portfolio Architecture.
• A Kubernetes architecture diagram I contributed ended up in the NSA Kubernetes Hardening Guidance.

Program Committees

I review talk submissions for several conferences, either as track leader or on the advisory board.

Mentorship

I mentor people on career growth, open-source contributions, certs, and technical leadership. In Fedora, I sponsor new packagers.
