Interview Leonardo Favario, Developers ITA

--- tags: Communications, Lets talk about Public Code, Marketing --- # Interview Leonardo Favario, Developers ITA ## Structure ### Intro - Bumper - Welcome back, what is the podcast: participate, come live! - Interview #### Script for intro (approximate, we won't read from the sheet) Alba: Hello and welcome to 'Let's talk about Public Code', a space where we talk to members of our community who are actively using public code in their codebases. My name is Alba Roza and I'm one of the Codebase Stewards of the Foundation for Public Code. As you can see I'm not alone today, hello Jan! Jan: Hello Alba! Alba: Jan is also a Codebase Steward and we both work with the Standard for Public Code. Our standard says that "Codebases SHOULD include a publiccode.yml metadata description so that they’re easily discoverable." and today we'll meet with someone from the only country that mandates their public software to use that. Jan: Yes! Today we are joined by Leonardo Favario who is the Open Source Project Leader @ Department for the Digital Transformation - Italian Government Alba: Shall we bring him on? Jan: Sure, welcome Leonardo! Leonardo: (response) Alba: Before we start with the interview, I'd like to remind you all if you're watching us live that you can also submit your questions to Leonardo in Twitter, Facebook or the livechat of Youtube. ### Questions (the order of questions may shift depending on answers/conversation, but we should not invent any new or surprising quesitons) ASKED 1. What is the Digital Transformation Team and how did you become its leader? ASKED 2. How was the Open Source ecosystem in the Italian government when you joined? ASKED 3. How is it now? Maybe you can tell us a little bit about the Pianno Triennale and future steps? ASKED 4. You've been professionally involved with open source at least since 2017 both as a professor and as member of the goverment. What is the perception that students have about FOSS? ASKED 6. If we take a look at your CV you've also been FOSS mentor. How did you end up in that role and what activities did you do as such? ANSWERED 7. In Italy you have this law that software developed by public money should be open source. Can you tell us a bit about it? ASKED 8. Has this law led to any collaborations between several public organizations? ASKED 9. Do you have an example of perhaps a simpler codebase that got a lot of reuse? ASKED 10. You have two websites; Developers Italia and Designers Italia. What are they and how do they differ? ASKED 11. How does your team work? Do you have some sort of periodic meetings, ceremonies or steering groups? ASKED 12. For your software catalogue you are using the publiccode.yml standard. Can you tell us a bit about it and how it have helped you? ASKED 13. How has your work been recieved by vendors? ASKED 14. .. and how has it been recieved by the public? (100% coverage of the population :D)xd ASKED 15. The website is both in English and Italian. How do you manage it to make it inclusive, for instance in the "forum" section? ASKED 16. Can you tell us about some mistake you all learnt from? ASKED 17. ... and some milestone of a codebase you feel particularly proud of? 18. And as a segue, which person would you recommend that we invite for a future episode? ### ENDING Jan: This has been a very nice chat but unfortunately we have to wrap it up! Alba: Yeah, thank you all for your time. It has been great talking to you today and thank you Jan for joining me today again! Jan: Thank you, Alba.
