one step away from the end O quasi.
Non posso che continuare a ringraziarvi tutte una per una per aver inviato gli schemi, per averli testati, per averli commentati, condivisi. Ma soprattutto per avermi fatto capire dove sbagliavo.
Ci sono stati tanti errori durante il percorso del nostro libro che ho fatto totalmente in buona fede, cui cercherò di rimediare da ora in avanti. Vuoti organizzativi, scelte sbagliate ma soprattutto esperienza nulla nell'organizzazione di un progetto tanto grande.
We are about to the end...nearly.
I have to thank every one of you, one by one, for having sent your patterns, for having tested them, for sharing them or simply leaving a comment, But above all, for letting me understand where I was wrong. There have been many mistakes on our way to the book I have acted in good faith, but I'll try and putting right from now onwards. Organization gaps, wrong choices and, most of all, no experience in organizing such a big project.
begin by saying that I finally realized that not only I can do. I tried to hit on me in the organization so that we can provide a single point. Unfortunately I would not be possible and therefore I shall avail myself from now on the help of other people. Those who, even at the risk of being very bad I have taken of his chest and gave a shrug. There will be those who will edit the schemes, who will cover them after the first edition, who will cover them after the notes of the testers and those who deal in last, before putting in the book, before the establishment of ebooks or individual, and who will check with me emails and will answer all your questions or have any complaint; Who will help me to write the blog so it is more readable and less dispersive, who translated into English.
also hope we'll always be all of you to tell me (tell us) what we are doing wrong, because only then we will have a wonderful product as we imagine them all.
I'll finally start Saying That I've Realized I can not do everything on my own. I've tried to focus on myself all the organization in order to Assure only one speaker for you. Unfortunately, this is not possible anymore, so I'm going to avail myself of other people. Those who risked Have to Hurt Themselves, giving me a shake, facing up to me. There will be someone who will edit patterns, editing who will check again, who will double check them after testing and finally more and more before book publishing (or single e-book publishing); someone who will check e-mails with me answering to each question or doubt you have; someone who will help me in writing this blog to make it more readable, who will translate in english.
Besides, I hope you will always be here to tell me (us) what is wrong with our work, because it's the only way to create a great product as we have it in our mind.
La seconda comunicazione è organizzativa.
Ci sono dei pattern già editati che aspettano solo di essere testati. Li trovate nella pagina in testing. Non lasciateli soli, so che è un bello sforzo ma ne varrà sicuramente la pena. Oltre agli altri in lista vi raccomando i seguenti schemi che sono in cerca della loro prima tester
The second message for you is about organization.
There are already some edited patterns just waiting for you to test them. You will find them in the testing page. Don't leave them alone, I know it's a big effort but it will be worth doing it. Besides patterns in that list, there are the following ones looking for their first tester

said that there will be many more testing to do on the projects have not yet been edited so the job certainly is not lacking:)
MoreOver, there will be more testing to do on projects not yet edited, I know We have work for everyone:)
As I said, not all schemes will be reflected in the book, but only for issues logistical layout. The idea is to insert a fortnight more or less so that there are all kinds of patterns.
No one pattern will be abandoned to his fate, but all will be collected in each downloadable ebook through tender. I know that every scheme has been designed with love and given with the heart and everyone will have their fair satisfaction.
If you want to give me more help I'd also have your opinion about the schemes would prefer to be included in the book. Just an email to
unitecontroilcancro@gmail.com with a list of the fifteen projects would like to find (you can help by consulting patterns published in various posts using the tag "pattern").
As I said before, not all the patterns will be able to be published in the book, but just for layout and space reasons. We are thinking of putting in the book about 15 patterns, so that we will have different kind of projects.
None of your patterns will be left to its fate, on the other hand they will be collected in single e-book to download by some offer/donation. I know each pattern has been designed with love and given to us with your heart, so each one will have its own...satisfaction.
If you like to help me it would be a pleasure to receive your opinion about the patterns you would like to see published in the book. All you need to do is to send an e-mail to unitecontroilcancro@gmail.com with your list of your favourite 15 projects (help yourself using the tag "pattern" to look at them)
Come già scritto tempo fa gli schemi, che saranno sempre e comunque di proprietà della designer, saranno ceduti a unitecontroilcancro per un anno a partire dalla pubblicazione del libro e degli ebook. Fino ad allora vi chiedo di mantenere il massimo riserbo sui contenuti e di non vendere nè lo schema nè il manufatto finito.
Dopo tale periodo sarà facoltà delle designers metterlo in vendita per conto proprio.
L'unica richiesta che facciamo è non condividere in modo gratuito per evitare di danneggiare la vendita del libro che sarà a fine benefico senza limiti di tempo.
I termini erano quasi tutti già spiegati in un
post di qualche tempo fa; nel caso non siate d'accordo coi termini dell'impegno basterà una mail al solito indirizzo
unitecontroilcancro@gmail.com .
As I wrote some time ago, designers will have the right for her/his own pattern, and she/he will give it to unitecontroilcancro for a year since the book publication. All I ask is not to reveal their content and not to sell either the pattern or the craft made.
After this period, it will be a designer's choice to sell it on her/his own. All we ask is not to give it for free, damaging the book sale that will carry on with no limits of time.
Deadlines Had Already Been Given and Explained in this post , if you do not agree with Them just write to us here: unitecontroilcancro@gmail.com .
certainly will notice that the deadline has changed heavily, and this I must apologize in person, but I promise we will try to carry on the work as soon as possible, careful to put out an excellent product.
You Might Have Noticed That deadline have changed a lot, and I am very very sorry about that, But I promise I'll try and go on with our work hard to finish as soon as possible, paying attention to create a very good product anyway.

one final thing before the last thanks: I received three excellent stories of experiences in first person who has been involved in one way or another, with this disease. I'd love that in addition to patterns there is also a message on the importance of prevention, so if you want to write something absolutely do it. Even if you do not know how to write, or if you can not do it (I know it's painful, and I ask you strive only to the extent possible). We are fortunate to have with us a professional who knows the written word sicuramente aiutarci a mettere nero su bianco i nostri pensieri.
Grazie di cuore.
Ciami
Last but not least, before my last "thank you": I've received three amazing tales about your real experience of dealing with this deasease someway. I'd like, besides the patterns, to leave a message about the important role of prevention, so if you like to write something concerning this, feel free to do it, of course (I know it's painful, so do it just if you feel you can do it). We are lucky to have someone who really works with words professionally, who will be able to help us in putting thoughts on paper.
Thanks, with all my heart.
Ciami
