Tevere Flow project


Finally I decided to create the Tevere Flow project starting from the Tevere Workflow module of Roma Meta Framework. In the next days I'll move the sources from Roma repository to the Tevere space hosted in Source Forge.

The idea is to provide a complete Open Source Workflow product with a Web User Interface. Tevere module is already used in production in several systems and it's appreciated for the easy to use and the Web front end: no other products can offer it!

The domain for Tevere Flow is: http://www.tevereflow.org. The web site will be active in few days with a web 2.0 look and feel. The project (still pending) in Source Forge is available here: https://sourceforge.net/projects/tevere.

Do you like the logo? It was created by Giordano Maestro (one of main committers of the Tevere Workflow module). On top of the hills you can see the colosseum (part of Roma Meta Framework logo) and the Tevere river in the middle of their. Tevere ("Tiber" in english) is the river that divide the Roma city in two parts. You can find a history of it on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiber

Stay tuned for the official launch!

Lost in translation: birra Miller

Galway, Irlanda.

16 giugno 2008. Un lunedì sera. Dopo 4 ore di meeting in inglese Giovanni ci porta in un ristopub al centro di Galway. Enorme con un albero al centro! Talmente grande che quando sono uscito (la cena si era fermata a metà dello stomaco) per ritrovare la sala ho chiesto indicazioni... Non sto scherzando.

Dopo un ottimo antipasto, un paio di birre e una bistecca (ovviamente) Irlandese allungo il braccio e prendo in mano quella di Giordano seduto accanto a me. Vedo l'origine americana. Ma che ci fa una birra americana in Irlanda? Cmq girando la bottiglia vedo che c'è scritto qualcosa dietro all'etichetta:

"America's Quality Beer
CONTAINS NO ADDITIVES
OR PRESERVATIVES"

Preservati-che? Ah... in inglese deve essere la traduzione di "conservanti".

Comunque sia sono taaanto contento che in quella birra non c'erano preservativi ;-)

Last day of Ireland


Around Galway city on the West Coast of Ireland. This picture was shooted by Luigi.

The meeting is finished and this evening the Romulus staff had the dinner in a restaurant very close to the sea. Excellent Oysters! It's quite cold to be June and sometimes it rainings, but the colors of the sea are wonderful. Don't you?

Tomorrow I'll go back in Italy! Bye bye Ireland. See you soon.
