I'm married and have a Son, I work in the IT Department of an Italian firm in Schio, Vicenza - Italy, a very small city in northern Italy not so far from Venice.

My passion and hobby is Linux. At home I stared with Mandrake Linux (now Mandriva), I then passed to Kubuntu, Fedora Core (as at work I had a Red Hat server) and then finally now it's quite a long time (do not exactly remember how long it is) that I've been using Ubuntu.

At work, and not only, I've used almost all Windows operating systems, from DOS to Windows 8, and from Windows Server NT to Windows Server 2008, I've been so lucky to use Linux, Xenix, SCO UNIX and MAC OS X.

I'm the typical person that likes hacking on computers, operating systems and programming and I like all that is Linux related, especially Ubuntu Phone and convergence :P.

I used to program in COBOL developing some applications for my company's management software (well that was quite some time ago), but now day's I'm mainly only System Administrator. I also know quite well the world of visualization as my company's servers are all virtual machines on VMWare platform.

In the past, as a hobby, I have developed a web site for my husband's modeling group and a program in Delphi for the management of modeling competitions.

I'm member the Ubuntu Comunity, I am administrator of the Ubuntu Italian Testing Team, member of the Laptop Testing Team, Ubuntu Italy, Ubuntu Core Apps Test Writers and Ubuntu QA Team - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CarlaSella

I am also member of the AViLug Linux User Group (http://avilug.it).
