Disclaimer:

I’m sorry but my development time is breaked from translations sessions.
I do not know all about languages, but every day I try to learn something new.

Interests

Development:

– github.com/luciano-croce
– github.com/WordPress/classic-editor

Disk Operating System:

– History, and evolution, of the most famous operating system in the world!
– I am author of the Book and PDF tascable (year 1999) TRUE DOS (the dark side of its history from the dark side of its users).

Semantic Versioning:

semver.org — Given a version number MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH

– MAJOR version when you make incompatible API changes.
– MINOR version when you add functionality in a backwards-compatible manner.
– PATCH version when you make backwards-compatible bug fixes.

WP-CLI:

The new Command Line Client Interface as MsDos/DrDos/4Dos?

Meetup:

http://www.meetup.com/WordPress-Meetup-Genova

– I’m not a Meetup or WordCamp Organizer or Co-Organizer.
– For now I’ve never organized any Meetup or WordCamp.
– I only participated in WordPress Meetup Genova on 2016.

WordPress Origin Story

I am a WordPress user of the “first hour” since 2006/2007 — 12/13 year’s ago

– I’ve been a member of the WP Genova Community since its creation on July 22, 2015 — last meetup (of this community) July 22, 2016
   (in total from 2015 to 2016 this community organized 4 meetings, including one that was never held, and then interrupted each activity)
– I have left Italia WP Community on August 23 2018 for personal motivations — my time is limited by my aunt’s parkinsons’ disease.
– You can find me (almost always) in the weekly chat #polyglots on slack (wordpress.slack.com) on Wednesdays at 06:00 UTC
