Nadia Messina
After completing a Master's degree in Clinical Science and
working for 8
years in social services, I discovered, in 2000, a new passion
for
computers and technology. My need to understand how things
work attracted me to Linux and it's Open Source philosophy.
I am currently working as a Linux system's administrator and
am constantly learning from all that the Linux Community has
to offer. Every time there is an opportunity to share this
passion and promote this great alternative to proprietary
operating systems and softwares, you'll see me there.
