I just got back from a most fascinating weekend in Milan. I didn't go there to flee the Paris cold drizzle and soak in the warm Italian sun. Nor did I go there to gorge on Ossobuco alla milanese and other culinary specialties. Rather, I came to meet with members of Mozilla Italia, who converged in Milan to hold a booth at Fa La Cosa Giusta, Italy's largest sustainability fair.

In all, we were 11, including Giuliano, Francesco, Andrea, Michele, Giacomo, Simone, Stefano, Elisabetta, Iacoppo and Giovani.



I learned a great deal from everyone, being briefed in detail about the inner-workings of Mozilla Italia, the team structure, its history, its organization, new contributors, current and future projects, documentation, SUMO, Add-ons etc.. Of course, we did put work aside in the evening and in great Mozilla tradition, we indulged in some healthy beer-drinking (organic beer no less!). Amazing how the weekend went by in a flash. More than anything though, the three days i spent in Milan reminded me what a true privilege it is to work with communities like Mozilla Italia, so passionate in the Mozilla project and doing a fantastic job to help promote it and help drive it forward.

Grazie mille Giliano and the crew ! Lots more exciting work ahead (and more organic beer-drinking too!) :-)
