+---------------------- Final personas
+
+After putting together and considering all the brainstormed personas, we ended
+up with a list of 6 target personas for our design:
+
+ * Lucia Marchetti
+
+ Lucia Marchetti, 19 years, is now finishing her high school in Grosseto,
+ southern Tuscany.
+
+ One year ago, during a students' protest against the new school reform, she
+ realised that something was going wrong with the TV news, and that reality
+ is sometimes very different than what it seems. Talking with friends, she
+ got to know about some ways to get informations online, and she is now
+ subscribed to a couple of newsletters and peeks into the Indimedia website
+ when something important happens.
+
+ Exploring the online world, she's got fascinated by the various association
+ and groups of people that are doing so many nice things. She recently
+ bought an <a href="http://www.emergency.it/index.php?ln=En">Emergency</a>
+ T-Shirt and a book from Padre Alex Zanotelli, and she's a fan of the dark
+ chocolate from the local Fair Trade shop.
+
+ Since the mess in Afghanistan she can't miss a single Perugia-Assisi peace
+ march, and since the students' protests she's also started taking part to
+ some political rallies. When she does, she takes her digital camera with
+ hers and takes a lot of pictures.
+
+ In the past she sent out two chain letters with her report on something she
+ experienced, from which she got a good feedback and and she felt that
+ sharing is very important. She is considering to start contributing her
+ reports and pictures to some online media, to make her part so that events
+ and emotions don't get lost.
+

+
+
+ * Michael Stone (a.k.a Fig Leaf)
+
+ Michael Stone is a radical activist often involved in civil disobedience
+ initiatives.
+
+ He usually goes from timber site to timber site to do tree sitting or to
+ chain himself in front of bulldozers, continuously traveling across the USA.
+
+ Michael wants to go into any community center and access his e-mail from any
+ type of computer, without a lot of hassle. He needs a considerable amount
+ of security because he's planning potentially illegal direct action. He
+ needs to be able to access files to make flyers and other propaganda, and to
+ store pictures of protests (possibly needed in court). He also uses the
+ Internet to coordinate actions with other protesters using a mailing list
+ and to publish documentation about the protests into a website.
+
+ He's happily unemployed, being more interested in doing volunteer work than
+ participating in a capitalist society. He travels light, sleeps at friends'
+ houses or in squats, and changes identity frequently.

+
+ *
+ Matilda
+ Matilda works with young children; in her free time she works as a volunteer
+ in the local Fair Trade commerce shop. They need to create and print some
+ posters to put on the shop and keep track of the shop storage.
+
+ Sergio Montanari
+ Sergio Montanari is a volunteer for the Savena Neighborood Committee,
+ trying to fight for quality of life where he lives. They work on issues
+ like collecting signatures against the installation of a new cluster of
+ cellphone bridge antennas, insuring funding for the local school,
+ monotoring pollution, keeping an eye on the behaviour of their elected
+ representatives.
+
+ Sergio is very passionate about making his neighborood a better place,
+ and even if he works full time at the building lines of Ducati Motors, he
+ manages to squeeze some hours or some evenings to bring the committee on.
+
+ Since most members of the Committee now have internet, they could use a
+ mailing list for group communication like dispatching announcements and
+ organizing actions. Once they can get a bit more comfortable with
+ internet, they may look how to create some web pages about what they do
+ and see what else can be useful to make their Committee and their actions
+ work better.
+
+ (merges: Matilda, Sergio Montanari)
+
+
+ * Carla Maria Fernandez Ribeira
+
+ Carla Maria, 38 years, is the mother of a young boy affected with Down
+ Syndrome. Years ago, after she learnt about the condition of her baby, she
+ reacted becoming very active in the Asociatión Padres Trisomia 21, one of
+ the Spanish associations of parents of children with Down syndrome.
+
+ The association is very active locally, keeping track of how children grow
+ and face life, school programs, educational activities; they also provide
+ psycological support for parents, and put them in contact with specialists
+ like logopedists, neuropsicologists, physiatrics, and of course with other
+ parents for mutual aid.
+
+ The main income of the association is fundraising, both through a voluntary
+ yearly membership fee and through fundraising parties and events that are
+ organized from time to time.
+
+ Carla Maria has some technical experience: she has started using Windows
+ 4 years ago and she's now earnt the title of being the one that gets the
+ annoying phone calls from the friends when they get a new Outlook virus.
+
+ Thanks to the interest of Carla Maria, the association recently discovered
+ the world of computing: they were able to acquire some computer and an ADSL
+ connection, and started digitizing address books and keeping Word documents
+ with medical files. They're thinking about evolving, like setting up a
+ mailing list for the parents to get together online, and a website where to
+ post news about Down Syndrome and the association itself. They'd like to
+ also start producing some leaflets, fliers, guides and other material to
+ distribute to the parents and to everyone.
+
+ She's a recent convert to the ideas of free software and dreams of making a
+ transition from Windows to Linux. She installed RedHat in an extra computer
+ at home but failed. She's a volunteer, with also a kid needing extra care,
+ and can't commit more than 5/10 hours a week for working with technology;
+ for this reason, she's looking for some help in making decisions, and
+ possibly also in managing the structures, trying to stay networked with
+ other expert people doing technology so that she doesn't have to do
+ everything on her own. She would like things to be very stable
+ and reliable, so she fears a lot making the wrong choice. In addition,
+ she knows that extra care about privacy must be taken, since if someone
+ compromises the computers in the organization (s)he can get access to very
+ sensitive data like medical records.
