Fabio Mora

Talks, panels & podcasts

I speak about software delivery, production reliability and the human side of engineering. I also run workshops, moderate panels and host conferences.

My community roots are in GaLUG, where we ran a computer lab, courses and Linux Day events promoted by the Italian Linux Society. I later co-founded Italian Agile Movement and organised XPUG Milano.
