[Discuss] Hi from the old Europe (Italy precisely)

[Roberto A. Foglietta]

Hi Robert,

 thanks for your kindly answer. I was asking because I was wondering
to move outside Italy and found a job as Linux embedded developer or
similar in a nice place like Nanaimo City and Cowichan Valley seem.
Another place which I am thinking about is Côte-Azur in the southern
France but I do not speak French, by now, at least!

 Another reason because I was asking is I am thinking to visit for
tourism a nice place outside most popular trips.

 I have been subscribed at cowlug as you suggested and I will read
your mails, unfortunately I do not think I will be present in your
meetings, for the moment!
 ;-)
