It’s been 11 years and 1 month since I was awarded with official Ubuntu membership. I will never forget that day: as a kid I had to write about myself on IRC, in front of the Community Council members and answer their questions in a language that was not my primary one.

You know, bureaucracy is slow, and it’s reasonable to think that it takes time for them to reveal jokes. Yet, many firsts of April have passed, and no such announcement has been made. Many missed opportunities for Europe to show their love for progress and their competence with the web.| andrea.corbellini.name
