+About me
+########
+
+This is the first time I can say I seriously coded. In my past experiences I never approached the act of writing code
+with the final goal of sharing it.
+Code for yourself is a thing; code for the community, and with the community, is something very different.
+
+I'm not a software developer: I'm a mechanical engineer, and in these three months I've learned a lot of things that I
+could never learn on my own. I have to say thanks to my mentor and to the Ninux community for the strong support they
+gave me in this period, and for giving me this possibility. But the time is up, and I'm going to summarise what I
+achieved during the summer.
+
+##########
+1st period
+##########
+
+*05/15 - 06/15*
+
+During the first month I had to deal with the driver of the engine. The Ninux community developed a first prototype
+of the Turnantenna, and I started working on it. At the very first time I created a new branch in GitHub called
+`"test" <https://github.com/Musuuu/punter_node_driver/tree/test>`_.
+
+I spent the greater amount of time writing tests and trying to understand how to improve the pre-existing algorithm. I
+learned how to use 'unittest', and how to use 'mocks' from zero. It was really challenging.
+
+I wrote a more detailed review of that period in this `article <https://blog.freifunk.net/2018/06/10/the-turnantenna-first-evaluation-update/>`_.
+
+##########
+2nd period
+##########
+
+*06/16 - 07/13*
+
+In the first week of the second period, I had to complete the previous work on the driver test. After that, I started
+to work on this documentation. It was a very hard work, and it took all the three weeks remained.
+
+At the same time, I worked on a first version of the States Machine, and learned the basics in order to work with flask
+and to build the web interface.
+
+The article relative to the work done could be found `here <https://blog.freifunk.net/2018/07/08/the-turnantenna-second-evaluation-update/>`_
+
+##########
+3rd period
+##########
+
+*07/14 - 08/14*
+
+The last moth was really productive. During the first three weeks I worked on the API definition and the optimization
+of the States Machine. I learned how to use the 'multiprocessing' and coded the main process: now it can handle the
+engine process, the flask RESTful services, and the States Machine.
+
+In the last week I have focused on code refactoring. For this new task I worked on the new dedicated
+branch `"refactor" <https://github.com/Musuuu/punter_node_driver/tree/refactor>`_.
+
+Like before, the detailed review of the work is in this article.

+
+-------------------------
+
+
+
+
+The initial goal of the project was to write a full working driver and web interface for the Turnantenna. I can say that
+the 80% of the work was done.
