Welcome Paolo Valdemarin, Daniele Pizzolli and Derek Paterson

[Pietro Speroni di Fenizio]

So the next two person I would like to welcome and present to you are Paolo Valdemarin and Daniele Pizzoli. And also Derek Paterson (although he still hasn't joined).

Vilfredo started from an intuition I had while at the phone with Chris Anderson (the member of this community, not the editor of wired nor the editor of TED). Together we did the first website. Then Chris slowly step back, and Derek came in. And it was Derek who programmed most of what you see right now in Vilfredo. Apart from the Graph, the table, and some of the most mathematical functions everything else was done by him. Of course the first set up of the website was in PHP and with no front end-back end division by me. So this slowed the development of Vilfredo considerably.

Then when <Ahref declared interest to help rewrite Vilfredo, Paolo and Daniele, who both work for <Ahref, joined the project. Daniele in particular was fundamental in defining the standards of the new system (Vilfredo Reloaded). He also helped me and Derek in transitioning into Python, using the Flask framework. This while Paolo was taking a more supervisory role and making sure there was a correct division back end, front end. 

Right now they are very busy in other <Ahref projects, but I hope they will still have the time to discuss with us. 

Especially considering that in the next days we will start writing the front end and the various User Interfaces.

Let me correct:

Derek did not have to join, because he already joined in 2010 :-).

Cheers,
