It’s been almost a month now since I started working for Canonical. I was hired as a “Sustaining Engineer (System)” in the Foundations team which, in turn, is part of the OEM Services team, whose offices are located in Lexington, Massachussets, USA (I work from home though).
I mainly do work on X.org related stuff (e.g. touchpads, graphics drivers, etc.) in order to solve problems such as the ones that Canonical’s customers report and to develop new things (I hope to be able to blog about my new projects).
I really like this job as it allows me to work on the things I’m passionate about in a very friendly and relaxed work environment. It means a lot to me.
I would like to thank all the people who made this possible, the ones who kept providing me with new challenges in Ubuntu which made me acquire experience that is proving extremely valuable in my job. I would also like to thank all the people who supported me and encouraged me to apply for this job at Canonical, my team mates and team manager(s) who helped me move my first steps at work and to feel at ease and deeply involved in the OEM team, and the impressive amount of people who congratulated me on IRC on my first day of work. It was a warm welcome that I’ll never forget.
It’s an honour to work with you and I hope we can all work together to fix bug #1.
I hope to see you at the next UDS in Barcelona in May.
Congratulations on the new job and I am glad that you are enjoying. We need more and better OEM deals. 🙂
Bug #1 is my concern as well.
Keep enjoying your job.
Chiming in with congratulations. I apparently missed the announcement of you starting the job. It happens. Best of wishes, and have a great time.
Congratulations from Italy 🙂
It is really an honour for us Italians to have such a developer. Especially for South Italy 🙂
One month ago or so I read your interview on: http://www.ubuntu-it.org/index.php?page=alberto-milone
To make it short, I couldn’t believe you were still unemployed 🙁
In my view, thinking about all your hard work on Envy, this was really incredible and totally unfair.
Now I see everything has changed for the better 🙂
Thanks a lot for your work for Ubuntu: and W l’Italia 🙂
Alberto,
I’m happy to hear that and wish you good luck with the new job!
Thrilled to have you on board 🙂 Expect some abuse 😉
Congratulations!
Bravissimo complimenti, non ti so dire a quante persone ho consigliato Envy quando ho scoperto che il programmatore era un italiano per giunta del sud ero contentissimo, incredibile che un ragazzo delle tue capacità ancora non avesse un lavoro ( letto intervista su ubuntu-it ), spero davvero che tu riesca a fare tutte quel lavoro su xorg che , secondo me , è l’unica parte non al passo coi tempi di tutto il mondo linux.
Bravobravobravo e graziegrazie grazie.
Veryvery well, i don’t know how many people i suggest envy to. When i knew that you are Italian, from the south too, i’m very happy. I didn’t belive that you didn’t have a job yet. I hope that you can realize all yopur project, expecially about xorg.
Congratulations!!
Contrats Alberto. You deserved it! Well done!
Grandissimo alberto!
Sono felice per te
Sorry if I speak in italian 🙂
Grande Alberto!
Anche se ti conosco solo di fama, sono contentissimo per te, te lo meriti!
Ciaooo!
Con grande soddisfazione come Italiano e utente Ubuntu, aprendo della tua assunzione in canonical. Che tu sia di esempio per altri giovani Italiani.
Ancora tanti auguri.
