Corrado Federici Software architect (corrado@blueye.it)

Corrado has matured a 15 year working experience in the technology field. After a university degree in electronic engineering, he started out his professional career back in 1992 as firmware engineer in the audio broadcasting area. After some years, when radio stations got fully digital and C++ bested assembler, he started approaching the amazing world of networking. Now he works as IT manager and his professional interests cover network security management, forensics and text mining. He likes travelling, playing tennis, jogging in the parks and of course food and wine. It seemed to him that women belonged to this list, but he is not sure any longer because after marriage his memory was forcibly erased.

Tony Di Bernardo Linux kernel wizard (tony@blueye.it)

I bought my first PC when I was just 12 (a Commodore 64) and since then never left the ICT world. I first started programming in Basic (of course) and later on shifted to Turbo Pascal and Assembler. Now if I have to write some code I only use Delphi or C.Currently I work in the Network System Administration and Security field beeing more focused on the security area. My personal interests are Pop music (Roxette first of all), reading (I read the Da Vinci Code in three days!) and as Corrado good food and wine. By the way, women still belong to my list.

Francesco Comello FreeBSD wizard and field test eingineer (frank@blueye.it)

I am a tipical example of self made man, creative and self taught. My personal interests range from history to music, from electronics to antennas and, last but not least, to information technology. My passion for communications was born over 40 yers ago, when with some friend of mine I refurbished a couple of valve radio transmitter-receivers survived to 2nd world war. That game turned in an exciting experience and all of us felt like a new Guglielmo Marconi. At that time we realized that our future path was clear. At the beginning my job was managing RF telecom networks , from HF RTTY stations to SHF radio link systems. I then got involved with microprocessor telephone switchboards, a huge leap from mechanic switching. Currently I am system administrator of Microsoft based server farms, but I enforce and assess security with Linux-Free/Open BSD tools. My biggest dream? Days lasting 36 hours, as there are plenty of tasks I still have to accomplish.

Mauro Sedrani Field test eingineer (mauro@blueye.it)

I had my first experience in the IT arena with a ZX81 during the mid eighties.At the beginning, I got acquainted with Unix and Bull DPS6000 mainframes. Then I got involved with cooperative hybrid systems (Win,Linux and Unix) that I support passionately. During the years, I developed many procedures for integrated management of information systems, emergence procedures, security policies and disaster recovery.Currently, I'm senior sys admin and I hold courses for junior administrators on Microsoft platforms. Why I am here? Just a bet with my friends of the BL7 team.
