Subject: [dev] Virtual Entity on the national newspaper 'Il Sole 24 ORE'

Hello,

just a quick email to mention on today's 'Il Sole 24 ORE', on Nova, the
central pages on science and technology, there is a short interview of me
and other five Italian bearded dudes: massimo banzi (arduino developer),
mimmo cosenza (tech businessman), giuseppe taibi (software developer),
alessandro pisani (webdesigner), mattia manga (university teacher).

A direct link to a scan of the article here:

http://virtualentity.org/downloads/press/sole24ore_xname_2010March4.pdf

It is narrated in style 'artist's portrait', and there is no mention of
open source software and the difference between art and technique, which I
was trying to explain, but anyway, at least a female trying to express
some concepts...

My 2 cents to Italian Press,
best,
xname
