Daniele 30.0 - Major release with 30 years shades of nerd

It is happened. I cannot stop it. I am 30 years old now!

I started thinking to write a blogpost in my website that is running from when I had 18 years. So the idea was to do a recap of what happened in this 10 years like I was 20 and thinking like it is incredible.

Mte90.net during the years used Flatz-CMS (my flat php cms that was used from various people) and Lepton (php cms), migrated in WordPress around 2012

I remember that in 2015 at DUCC-IT I tried VIM, now I am using since more then an year as my dev editor NeoVIm
- Vim is hard and require motiviation to learn it and discover how much is cool and powerful

- I am old indeed
In 2012 I compiled Firefox 9 Qt version, that doesn’t exist anymore since years
- It is kind of interesting fact to discover for a lot of people that Mozilla was experimenting with that but with 0 resources working on and keep compatibility with everything was impossible to keep it
- Compile a software also very big was kind of a mission impossible
For the Firefox OS launch I was talking with TIM people (bigger telecommunications’ vendor in Italy) for Mozilla, in 2014
For Mozilla since 2013 I did a lot of things, I am maintaining a page about it (that is more complete) also a profile on Mozillians
- Mainly all the things that I was able and achieve with just motivation and interests. This remembers how much is powerful meritocracy is and how much often is forgotten.
- All the All Hands joined and other mozilla meetups in Mozilla office for the Mozilla Reps council
  - With the longest travel I did to Mozilla Hawaii All Hands in 2016, more than the World Youth Day in Brazil of 2013 I did
What I would write a real book after my initial tentative, especially about Open Source and contributing, in English!
- Yes in 2015 I localized in Italian the Firefox OS quick guide and added new pages (with help of others)
- In 2020 the second edition of the book itself!
That I could get in 10 years just 4 smartphones with me: Openmoko Freerunner, Samsung Galaxy Note (1), OnePlus One and the latest in progress OnePlus 5T
Mentioned in 2 University thesis by Edoardo and Michelangelo (in the second case for help with formatting the thesis XD)
- I didn’t join university as student, maybe as speaker but not with a course, so I don’t have any degree
Mentioned in an Italian book in the Thanks section, about command line
All the events that I joined with all the report I wrote in the years, in Italian and English
- This take about the international events also as speaker like MozFest or Fosdem
- The many friends over all the world with similar interests
That in 2015 I will create my own company with friends and still working together with some changes
