For Italian teams: contatcs - Per i Team Italiani: contatti
by Alexjan Carraturo 31 Aug '10

31 Aug '10

Eng version I want to know how many and what are the Italian teams found on this list. Should I track them to send some announcements to the press, while providing direct support in native language. So if there are Italian teams are asked to respond to this thread maybe even leaving any contact preferred (preferably email). In addition there would be some communication to be done ad hoc for some teams, if they were present. Response is not required in dual language. ITa Version Vorrei sapere quanti e quali sono i team italiani presenti su questa lista. Dovrei rintracciarli per mandare alcuni annunci alla stampa, e contemporaneamente offrire supporto diretto in lingua madre. Quindi, se ci sono team italiani sono pregati di rispondere a questo thread magari lasciando anche un eventuale contatto preferito (possibilmente mail). In più ci sarebbero da fare qualche comunicazione "ad hoc" per alcuni team, qualora fossero presenti. Non è richiesta risposta in doppia lingua -- ######################################## Alexjan Carraturo admin of Free Software Users Group Italia http://www.fsugitalia.org Fedora Ambassador: Axjslack openSUSE Ambassador: Axjslack Free Software Foundation Europe Fellow 1623 Software Freedom International board member ########################################
