Alberto Milone is best known for creating and maintaining envy, a tool to help people install nvidia drivers. It gained a huge popularity and soon afterwards he started working on screen-resolution-extra, which made it easy to set up dual-head displays.
A few releases ago these tools found their way into Ubuntu itself and Alberto dived head-first into making the integration of graphic drivers and display related features in Ubuntu rock. The first step was writing x-kit, which contains code to parse, edit and write xorg.conf. Nowadays he is maintaining the nVidia driver within Ubuntu.
Facts about Alberto that are probably not widely known yet: he studied foreign language in college and is passionate about food, especially Italian! In Ubuntu he did not only directly help Ubuntu to move X drivers out of linux-restricted-modules into their own much simpler packages, but also help with moderation work on the Ubuntu Forums. In addition to that, he is a big fan of T.S. Elliot.
Alberto Milone is definitely one of the work-horses in the Ubuntu community, he is friendly and very approachable - we're very happy he is part of our community.
