  =3D=3D=3D Biography =3D=3D=3D
- After his Master Thesis at Nokia Research Center - Helsinki, he worked fo=
r a couple of years in Rome, getting in touch with web technologies and pro=
blems arising when using a "raw" J2EE environment.
+ My name is Francesco Chicchiricc=C3=B2, and my surname has been a tricky =
 challenge since I was born in 1977, every time I had to get in touch  with=
 any public office; the advent of Internet made things even more  cumbersom=
e, despite of Unicode effort :-)
  =

- In 2003 he founded [[http://www.eposse.it/|ePOSSE]], a company aiming at =
"emPowering Open Source and Software Engineering". He started playing aroun=
d with Cocoon in late 2004, under suggestion of a couple of Italian Cocoon'=
s guru.
+ My nickname at ASF is '''''[[http://people.apache.org/list_C.html#ilgross=
o|ilgrosso]]''''', meaning "the big one" because, yeah, I don't wear a size=
 S since I was 10 ;-)
+      I am currently ASF member, [[http://syncope.apache.org|Apache Syncop=
e]] PMC chair and [[http://cocoon.apache.org|Apache Cocoon]] PMC Member.
  =

- After getting in touch with Cocoon, he's been pushing its utilization on =
every web-related project his company was involved in. =

+ Linux - then [[http://www.debian.org|Debian]], what else? -  addict since=
 1997, I am Italian (and proud to be), married with a  lovely wife called C=
inzia, father of a wonderful boy called Davide.  Since I was a child I've a=
lways loved comics and music, playing bass  guitar in a few metal rock band=
s with some friends.
+ =

+ About Computer Science, I got a master degree in 2001 in [[http://www.di.=
univaq.it/|L'Aquila]], after six months spent at Nokia Research Center in H=
eksinki (about this, you can take a look at a [[http://people.apache.org/~i=
lgrosso/linusphoto.html|photo]] I took at that time with [[http://en.wikipe=
dia.org/wiki/Linus_Torvalds|a friend of mine]] :-P).
+      Since then I've been working as developer, analyst and architect for=
  some companies until I've established in 2004 my first IT company  (ePOSS=
E, now [[http://www.everett.it|Everett Italia]]). After seven years, I deci=
ded to start again from scratch with a brand new Open Source based company,=
 [[http://www.tirasa.net|Tirasa]], aiming to speed up the development and t=
he adoption of [[http://syncope.apache.org/|Apache Syncope]].
+ =

+ In 2006 I had the chance to meet Gianugo Rabellino, at a common  customer=
's place, that introduced to me the world of Apache Software  Foundation in=
 general and Cocoon in particular. Having suddenly realized  that Cocoon 2.=
1 had an almost vertical learning curve, I've been anyway  fascinated by th=
e upsetting beauty of its architecture and potential.
+      Besides ASF, I am project owner of [[http://connid.googlecode.com|Co=
nnId]], the [[http://tirasa.github.com/HippoCocoonToolkit/|Hippo Cocoon Too=
lkit]] and [[https://github.com/Tirasa/OpenJPA-Azure|OpenJPA Azure]].  I've=
 been also contributing to some other projects like Sync4j (now [[http://ww=
w.funambol.com/opensource/|Funambol]]), and [[http://www.hippocms.org|Hippo=
 CMS]].
