Questo articolo è stato scritto nel 2012 ed è rimasto in bozze per 8 anni. Mi pare ancora degno di vedere la luce del sole e lo pubblico tale quale con qualche aggiornamento ai link. Riprendendo il discorso iniziato qualche tempo fa su archeologia italiana e colonialismo, metto sul piatto altri appunti. Il primo punto… Continua a leggere Archeologia nel Mediterraneo e colonialismo: seconda puntata
I deleted my Keybase account
Keybase was acquired by Zoom, the videoconferencing company. In case you never heard of Keybase, it’s a service providing “identity” proofs tied to cryprographic keys, pulling together the various digital identities that many of us have online. My Keybase account was deleted. None of the proofs exists anymore, even those that I had published on… Continua a leggere I deleted my Keybase account
A new home for the Total Open Station project
As announced in a previous blog post, the Total Open Station project has a new home!

Towards a better website
For a few months now, this website, the one that shows my personal blog and other pages about my activities and interests, has been improved. You should see no difference however.

Lo scorso anno… Continua a leggere I libri che ho letto nel 2019

An extensive test suite based on pytest was added to help developers… Continua a leggere Total Open Station 0.5
Total Open Station 0.4 release
This article was originally published on the Total Open Station website at https://tops.iosa.it/ After two years of slow development, I took the opportunity of some days off to finally release version 0.4, that was already available in beta since 2017.

I left my role of editor of the Journal of Open Archaeology Data
After serving for 7 years as the co-editor of the journal together with Victoria Yorke-Edwards, I have chosen to step down from my role as editor, while remaining on the Editorial Board. I had been on the Editorial Board before. Recently I have become rather busy with work and family commitments, with only a minor… Continua a leggere I left my role of editor of the Journal of Open Archaeology Data
ArcheoFOSS: un saluto e buon viaggio
Un mese fa, pochi giorni dopo essere rientrato dall’incontro FOSS4G-IT di Padova, ho mandato una email a un gruppetto di 8 persone che, presenti fisicamente o meno a Padova, hanno seguito da vicino le vicende di ArcheoFOSS negli ultimi tempi. Con questa email ho salutato ArcheoFOSS e adesso, sedimentati un po’ i pensieri, pubblico questo… Continua a leggere ArcheoFOSS: un saluto e buon viaggio
