Eccomi di nuovo in ufficio dopo 3 settimane di pausa estiva. Ne ho approfittato per svuotarmi la testa dalle diatribe interne lavorative e chiarirmi le idee su cosa fare nei prossimi anni, appena finisco l’MBA.

In vacanza mi sono portato il librone di Finanza: che bella materia, veramente.  Ho potuto seguire la crisi dei mutui in modo diverso da come l’avrei seguita qualche mese fa e ho finalmente capito a che servono tutte quelle pagine di numeri del Sole24ore Finanza e Mercati

Per una curiosa coincidenza negli ultimi tempi ho ricevuto tanti business plan di aziende nuove e ristrutturazioni, il che mi fa presagire un autunno dinamico.

Hello world! After some (very good) time offline I’m back with good news.  As you can see from the big ‘beta’ on the  head of these pages, the site has been added an important feature. It is now possible to add content in languages that is not English and manage translations.  At the moment the languages enabled are Spanish (Castillan), German, Italian and English.  More can be added on request.

Most of the work to modify the standard eZ Publish features was done by Alejandro Serrano, who we can’t thank enough.  He didn’t know eZ Publish before but it took him very little time to master it. 

Would you like to help developing this site?  Get in touch with Fellowship-hackers at fsfeurope dot org.  For comments, bug reports and suggestions use the forum.
