 I think it's time to start. We have a very, very packed program. So, the day we start, the most stress it will be to keep the program. So, I think we start. So, welcome so much, everyone? It is. Can I? Yes, I can. Okay, let me have this. Okay. Let me slide forward a little bit. You've got two rounds. Too much shopping. So, how do you go down? Okay. So, this is actually going to be quite a long time. Even though two years have talked with great guys for the whole time. So, I'm so happy to see you all. My name is Kirstin Groh. I'm the director of the new center and more about that later. And the professor at the Department of Informatics here at the University of Oslo. So, but now I'm only introducing our opening speaker, Lee Martin Uda. She's a policy director in NORAD. NORAD, you know NORAD, our oldest friend. So, we are so happy that Lee Martin is actually coming here to open this conference. She's a policy director, but she's also a co-lead, together with you, actually, of the global, not global digital public good alliance. So, she's here to talk about that a little bit as well. She will actually have a little bit of a keynote together with us in the cross-sector session in the planning on Thursday. So, we work together. So, this is not just a policy call. This is a real presentation. So, over to you. Thank you for being able to hear me in time. Thank you. Thank you so much for being here. It's really hard to see the application. It's impossible to match that energy level at any time. And I'm not going to try. I'm going to sit down here. It's such a long interview here. And I really do feel like I'm a partner of this, even though I haven't met all of you. And I'll say why. As Christine mentioned, I do call it the Digital Public Goods Alliance. And I am based at the Norwegian Agency for Development Corporation, so Nourad. And the concept of digital public goods, I stress this with all I ask, how many people here do you think actually, you know, has any kind of feeling on what that concept is? And he said, ah, 30, 50 percent. And I said, but they all know what the H2 is. And he said, of course, and they all know the H2 is open source. And he said, of course. So that's kind of a very important part of it. The definition of digital public goods is something that comes from the UN Secretary General himself. I'm going to turn myself down a little bit, just pick up. And it came as a result of a report from the high level panel on digital cooperation that the UN Secretary General established in 2018. And 2018 is, of course, a long, long time after this endeavor started. And I would say that no one exemplifies the essence of what digital public goods mean better than this crowd. And also the crowd that is with us virtually today. And although the open source part of the concept of digital public goods, because that's what they mean, it's a reference to open source technologies, software, content data standards that adhere to certain minimum principles around user safety, privacy, and also that has some kind of relevance to the sustainable development goals. That's the technical definition. But the essence is really around community. And this is where I really think that the H2 stands out. It's the community. And it's a community that's rooted in local ownership. And it's locally that innovation happens. And that's what the topic of the conference is today also, from local innovation to global progress. And increasingly, what I think you will see in many other countries and what you have probably seen in many other countries that you're working is that increasingly you will come into other types of projects that are based around open source technologies that are being implemented, and many of them are being integrated also with the H2 in the field. Examples include Daivoc, which many of you probably know, Sormas. And you may also have come across digital public goods in other sectors or for that are enablers, for instance, of the progress also in the health sector, such as digital identity systems. There's one called Mosep, for instance, that Noura also supports alongside the H2. And what I am seeing as co-leader of this digital public goods alliance, which is very much around accelerating attainment of the sustainable development goes through, allowing these open technologies as a basis for adaptation and adaptation across countries with much more speed. What we're seeing is that everyone wants to learn from the H2. But they don't want, I mean, of course, there's great stuff that happens with the technology, the core management of the technology. And that's wonderful. But every time, I think in every conversation I've had with Christine over these years, she's always said, the technology is important, but that's not what matters. That's not the most important part about the H2. It's the community. It's HISP. And that's really what everyone tends to focus too much on the technology and not ask about the capacity building model and all of the what is happening in the community around it and how it's uniquely anchored across the globe. And that is something we're really, really trying to learn from. And that's probably why I'm invited here. And probably why I'm a big fan. And we need to find the way of making capacity building be at the core of all of these initiatives. And I think the role of academia, masters, these masters and PhD programs, the HISP academies, all of these things that have been built up over so many years and that even came before the technology was open source. That is the essence of what we're here today. And it's something that cannot, it cannot be done quickly. It's taken, I don't know, 30 years, yeah, to get to, yeah, something like that, to get to, to get to where this initiative is today. But what I think is so privileged for someone like me now who's working then on an attempt of building up an alliance around digital public goods is that not only can we leverage the model, the learnings, but my hope is that we can actually leverage you as in the community. Because this is a community of, and I was counting more than 300 people who will be here in Oslo physically, around 400 and 400 something people attending virtually, probably. Yeah. And the community, of course, is also much bigger than that, that the people that have somehow been involved in implementing the HISP over the years, which means that it's a global community that can be leveraged also to help scale the essence of this model. And why is this so important? I think what we've seen in the alliance that that I've been building up together with others, and which has now really scaled so that we have many countries joining as members, many of the same countries that are also implementing the HISP too, is that there's really this real strong drive for what we refer to as digital sovereignty, or it has many names. But what it means in essence is that governments are increasingly uneasy about either having to be forced to end up proprietary technologies that has many types of long-term vendor lock ins. I mean, there are many good proprietary technologies that need to be part of the mix. But there's also this particularly for them, what we talk about is this digital public infrastructures, ID systems, payment platforms being forced to adopt proprietary safe data exchange layers. There is this risk of having monopolies pestering throughout your entire system, if you get them wrong. And many countries are really, and that's countries all over the world. It's also in Norway happening here now, there's an increasing drive to build in-house capacity to actually be in control over the rights to the technologies that are being deployed. But many countries do not have the luxury of building these technologies from scratch. So there is a real need for these generic open source technologies that can be adopted and adapted. But in order to do that, there's a need for in-house capacity. And there's a need for that agency that comes of being involved in implementing and being part of that digital transformation in country. And that's a model that even though it is at the core of the HRIS2 and the HIST community, I mean, I don't have to tell you guys about this, it's not something that has happened in any sector in international development. It hasn't happened in education. It's starting to happen a bit in education, but that's because of the HRIS2 actually being implemented for MS in countries. And it hasn't happened in payment systems. It hasn't happened in digital identity, but it's starting to happen in digital identity now. It started with India. And if this transformation towards more local ownership and more sovereignty in these processes is going to happen, and if it's going to happen right, capacity building needs to be part of it. And it has to be done in a completely different way than the traditional business as usual international development assistance, for instance. It has to be locally grown and locally owned. And therefore, when Christine talks about going beyond health for the HRIS2, I see two ways. One thing is the adoption of the HRIS2 into other sectors, such as education, water and sanitation, agriculture, that's happening already. And I think that's like a natural evolution. But the HRIS2 will not be the only digital system on the planet, and no one wants that. There's not like one system to rule them all. So there's also all of the integrations that's happening. And I really, really, so I see beyond health as the HRIS2 going beyond health, but I also see it as HISP as a community going beyond health. So I'm very, very excited because one of these communities is collaborating with HISP on both of these issues, both on adopting the HRIS2 but also on adopting the capacity building and the regional hub model. So I'm actually going to end with saying thank you so much for having me here, but I also really, really hope that we can tap into you in the countries where you are working and that you can help be part of this journey of helping scale a model of digital public goods so that we can leverage this unique experience into something that becomes the model for how digital cooperation happens in the future. Thank you. There we are. Thank you so much. Now we might actually mention nearly all of our topics for the conference. That's good. So we are very well aligned. I just need to mention, since you mentioned our new collaboration, if we are just granted from Nora 10 PhD scholarship or building capacity in countries through the HRIS2 groups for global digital public goods. So that's cool. So you will hear a little bit cross sector things during that this week. So apologies for all the health people, but there's a lot of things happening because what we have learned from the pandemic is that it's beyond the health. We went from the basement to the little bit top ministry of health to the presidency level when it's come to the pandemic because it involves civil registers, involved finance, it's involved portal entry, immigration at the ports and so forth. Meaning the world through our global HIST model have understood the way of doing digitalization and e-governance through our open source platform like the HH2. And that we need to leverage. And this model, so that's why I'm actually today will present a little bit more about the capacity building model because we take it for granted and everyone says, but you need to be more explicit when it's come to the way we are working because that is the secret soup. It's not it's of course it's a software as well, but it's more about how we are enabling capacity in country to create ownership and make the platform relevant at any time, both technological, but also use case wise to following what's happening in the world to have global progress through these local innovations. So this local innovation, you see the picture here is from, oh Prosper you can arrest me, but type May 2020 where all the truck drivers were standing put at the border of Uganda with all the goods coming into the whole East Africa because they were not tested out of the queue. Then very fast and innovation have made real time monitoring from the lab results. So getting certificates on the negatives also for the positives to get them out of the queue into the country and to the rest of the East Africa. That's just an example of how this platform to innovate on top, but also sharing these innovations like Andrew Mojira from from his round the sides. We are sharing, I said well you are we are not innovating, we are sharing all the innovation from the all the other groups you are stealing, but we are proud of stealing innovations and when it's implemented in your country it's domesticated and it's cultivated into your local innovation. So we are here to share and steal. So from first of January we were actually being upgraded, promoted as a center acknowledged by the University of Oslo as something very multidisciplinary, a little bit higher up in the hierarchy and we also have our fantastic new offices that we opened officially last week, the center but also the offices because we are I just wanted to show the colors, these pretty bright colors all pasted with the fieldwork pictures from all of the countries in the office. So that's a little bit of the opening, but that's more for the party and we are a bit into parties as well. So this is the net result. You have seen this many times, so this is just a very very very short glance that's kind of the adoption buying in this new health and how we do the global footprint you cannot see it under there because we have a line 2.4 billion people are living in the country with using DSS as a national health information system, HMI system. How has that been possible? I need to acknowledge also all the investors in the platform and also the partnership we have with investors because that partnership has been so I would say crucial for how we have been able to work and become relevant but also mobilize funds when things matter. It was you know the first many years, did I skip the history slide? No it's coming hopefully. Okay, the first many years we were only having a research fund and a new IO and then PEPFAR, Global Fund, NORAD came into this three-party partnership. However all the investors were lurky, we call it in the social media world, but they were always sitting in the partner meeting becoming part of the discussions of how can we make this as an open source platform relevant for all the countries not only for the ones that are happened to have finance because we would like to share it with all countries. We were truly open source and then we have had all the other partners coming along and now we are reaching out to the to cross-sector partners like education, climate health, climate and so forth. And we have been bragged about as a global public good for a while through Marty's work with our government but even the previous prime minister was proud and presented this. So how has this been possible? I can see my first slide about the history it's not there, but we know that when you have a French presentation it takes double our time, I know that. And I'm not speaking French and not because I'm stupid as somebody think that I cannot learn French, but I don't speak French, I'm so sorry. But then I can just pause a little talking about the history because the history slide is not there. Lee Marty was indicating this has been taking 30 years and it's almost 30 years, it's 28 years since Jørn Bro, Arthur Haywood from having the first presentation, the first implementation and starting to discuss with Kalla and the rest, Nora and the rest of the team in South Africa collaborating with the University of Western Cape on making reconstruction of the health sector after apartheid. So that is our soul. So I started as an action research project, Jørn Bro, my brother, not husband. People assume you know I'm the wife. So as this PhD project and you have continued to be action research. So we usually say it's traveling through geography from South Africa scaled up to the whole South African 2000 to rest of Africa, India, Asia and geography. So technology from Microsoft access to whatever technology available, cloud-based services, web-based DHS2 when it's become 2.0, alluded to and the mobile internet and so forth. So we always use the latest technology in order to create resilient, sustainable, scalable system that can be relevant and flexible for all kinds of use cases. And that takes a group of people. So this is the secret soup. It's actually that the invisible hands of action research is that we have all these HIST groups, all these PhD scholars, all this master program that I met supported from the Norwegian government long time ago. Seven of them. We are now continuing, we are now getting into it again to actually form all our knowledge into master program, because the master program is there to stick. They are there to stay. So even though it stopped the funding in 2000 and maybe eight or 10 or something, it's still there. And we are still recruiting from the master programs that are existing in those countries. And we are now starting up in many other countries. And then we are collaborating with the government, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health, the ministries in order to build our capacity in the ministry through participatory design. That's why it takes time. So we are there to commit, to teach people how can you own your own system? How can you customize your system so you can actually answer to the pandemic's new request on legislations and knowledge about how to handle the COVID-19 situation? Because you can easily change that platform to innovate on apps on top in order to cater for these kind of new things happening in the world. So that is the local innovation and the global progress. So this action research is actually building knowledge about how to do resilient information systems, e-governance, digital e-governance, while actually doing it. And when we're doing it, we do it, of course, together with the people in the country, being mentored by the his groups, building capacity in the country, being having global resources to the mentors, to the people in the country. So we become bigger and bigger. And that's how this community is becoming bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. Because everyone that learned and become part of this family are part of this family for life. That's not a threat. So what we do is actually knowledge-based. So this research is not like academic, only academic research. Of course it is also because we have 73 graduated PhD scholars from this program. We even have a defense on Wednesday, marginously from the head of the DHS2 design lab. He's graduating his PhD. He has a defense on Wednesday. But we are actually using this knowledge in order to do better, more relevant design and implementation and share that with everyone. And then that's not stealing, but stealing is nice. So all this and the academies, regional academies, we need to be regional, we need to be physical again, that has been kind of the locomotive of dissemination of these innovations and best practices. And what we see is most important in these regional academies that you guys probably have attended, held by the his groups locally in the region, sharing best practices and innovations. But the best part is actually to be inspired. So what we see, if Kenya can do it, then now I will be scalable. Tanzania can do it. That was when it was mobile internet. So we are not ranking people there, but all the innovation can be shared and will be shared. So these his groups are now leaders of the PhD scholars, often the leaders of these his groups. So this machinery is actually either local innovation, either going into a custom app, generic app, or be part of the new release the next time, half a year after, always coming with capacity and one way or another, how you can get these solutions in your hands. So these are the reason, these are the his groups. We have 17. We got a new one in Pakistan during the pandemic. So welcome Pakistan. So this region, his groups are very critical component of our strategy because they provide long time, often lifetime, often paid support to the ministries in countries. So that's why I'm talking this because we really need also to see how this can be sustainable, the business model as well. But that is the commitment that we always work with the ministry because why we are here is because what's happening in the countries. It's actually there in the countries that make us sustainable, make us famous for being able to support that many countries because this is a community where everyone can grow and shine. So the closeness to the field is so important because how can there just to be relevant for 20 over years because we always are in dialogue with the field and get scolded every time we are not really, really hitting the targets. And then we have all these groups to feedback. How can we then change the platform to be even more relevant? And of course the donors and the funders is super important. I'm guessing I'm using too much time. And also these partnerships we have had with our donors show that we were able to move fast, faster than any during the pandemic because we already had that partnership. We already had that trust. We have already shown that we can be relevant for what's happening in globally and never have the global world been smaller than the pandemic because the use case was almost the same everywhere. So then mobilizing funds to get the machinery going, meaning all the groups that were able to support countries digitally remotely because everybody was locked down. So this network of partners shared the same values. So in order to be a HIST group, you need to sign an MOU and sign an MOU. There's 12 bullet points of values that need to be shared and signed in blood, meaning everything can be stolen. Everything shall be shared. So then already in the 27th of January, Sri Lanka got to first confirm cases. And Sri Lanka, as you know, tourist country, and Sri Lanka had a strong HIST group. They were able then to make an app of Port of Entry app already two days later. How could that be possible? They had already been in negotiation and discussion with the ministries to be able to do that. So they spent five days. That was a fist because we used Slack. And then we saw on Slack, Max and me and everyone. We called Doubla. They looked at what's happening. However, Sri Lanka was able to respond fast and that inspired the whole HIST network. How was that possible? You will hear the story tomorrow. In the planned recession, tomorrow. So sort of rest this history, 47 countries are now using DSHS-2 for disease surveillance on COVID-19, even also for vaccine delivery. I'm taking that after. And this is the example for the launch of all the vaccine certification from Rwanda. And that was in the national news. And even Norway followed. This is from the newspaper in Norway saying, wow, in Sri Lanka and Uganda, they're using open source software. In Norway, we use pen and paper and no standards and 364 decisions in the municipalities to how can we do this? Okay. So now DSHS-2 is used in Norway for the first western country ever that used DSHS-2 for contact tracing. That's a cool story, isn't it? And they're even thinking, discussing with us, oh, will DSHS-2 survive another five years? Yeah, we think so. So they are now regarding using DSHS-2 as for all disease surveillance in Norway. So that's discussions. So I have hinted on all these arguments already how we were able to mobilize the whole global digital community, his community, that fast. Of course, mobilizing funds. Thank you, Nora. First time called two weeks into the pandemic, three weeks. And after the lockdown, how much can you guys absorb? And everybody knows that we have an absorbative capacity when it comes to budgets. I said, 10 million, no reason to go. Come on, think bigger. Okay, can, can, can, can think bigger. So then we just push the apparatus. So all the history was enabled, you just do whatever you can do. That's the history. And we already had the digital tools because we have been collaborating digital for years. So that's how we were able to share, learn, steal, snap innovations across the globe, being the first in the world on digital solution for the COVID-19 surveillance. We are pretty proud of that. But it's a generic platform. So why stop with the COVID-19? We have for many years, water sanitation and nutrition and even agriculture. But of course, also education. So here at the village level, all these are in one topic. So when you come down to the community, everyone is dealing with this across food program, where's water, water hall, any sudden sanitation, education, how can we get the teachers to attend the classrooms? So we are working and we got from Nora again. Thank you, Nora again. How can we reuse the IT capacity in the countries? The platforms, feasibility, is it possible? And we have shown proven, yes, it's possible. Something is happening behind here. Because we have DHS2 for education in all this country now, Uganda, Gambia, Esvertini, Togo, Mozambique, Sri Lanka, and we have a PhD program following it from Kix, GPE, Global Party for Education. And we had why there is not so many Ministers of Education here because we had a fantastic, glamorous DHS2 for education academy in Banjul last month, where we had the eight Ministers of Education present, 18 countries, all the partners that are in that space were there. It was super 118 participants. So that's, and we will have a, not a show, we will have a DHS2 for education just after lunch for people that are interested to hear more about it. Because this has mobilized a lot of energy in these groups to see how they can also support their country, not only health, but education as important. And very often it will actually happen as programs in school, food program, missile campaign, vaccination campaigns in schools. Then it's really truly helped to have the denominators right in the schools and be able to monitor this campaign. You will hear more about that on Thursday in the cross-sector presentation from Uganda. And Lee-Marc will join that one as well. Okay, I need to, and then we have another cool example. This is pretty new. This is from Uganda. I don't know so much about the case. I just grabbed this from the Slack, where we are bragging about all the innovations that this Uganda government uses the E-governance tool for monitoring and evaluation progress towards vision 2040 goals, meaning all the development programs in the country. So using this is just an example of how you can actually use it to monitor all your progress when it comes to development of the country. So we, you know, being truly E-governance project. Oh gosh, I have this as well. This I will do very fast. This is just, we are not, we are not including everything in DHS2. We can, we can, can, but we can also integrate with all the other systems. So, you know, integrate the data so you can have a holistic view of all your programs in a country, meaning either inside or integrating interoperability architecture, thinking architecture, very important. That will be a presentation and topic for Wednesday. How can we do make a national architecture? And how, so this is, this is the end because I think I'm used to too much time just to brag a little bit again. We are also into LMI, of course. This is Mozambique and monitoring the, the vaccine storage temperature. So just to show examples from the field, the local innovation that I shared globally. Thank you. Stop sharing. Who's that? I hope you mute me. Okay, now it's good. Are they still here? Yeah, there you are. Let's see if I can stand here. So good morning. Good morning. Good morning. We'll do some quick informational slides. Obviously, we won't have time for everyone to introduce themselves for five minutes. So we put together a few slides with some statistics. But yes, it is the new record again. You see the data from the last time we had in-person meeting on, on the left there. Then we had 268 participants. And that was a record this year, 326. So, welcome. And there may actually be more because we have 288 from outside the Hisp Center. And we are actually more than 38 at the Hisp Center. So we'll be, we'll be quite crowded this week. And a warm welcome to everyone from 20, no, 72 different countries. That's again a new record. That's pretty amazing. And 122 different organizations represented here. And as you know, since we're on Zoom, we have about 400 plus participants also signed up for remote attendance. So there will be 700 plus listening and sharing throughout this week. So where are you from? So this is a map showing kind of the distribution of participants. It says country of residence in the registration form, but you know, data quality can be an issue sometimes. But we, at least we have, and it's a bit difficult to read, but we have, of course, participants from south to north, from west to east, a lot of participants, southern, eastern Africa, as you can see. So I was very happy to have a lot of participants now for the first time from the Emro-Mena region. Many new countries there, including Jordan, Iraq, Pakistan has a bigger delegation. We have the WHO, Emro office here. Also something happening in this region, board participation, POW is here and several countries represented and many more online. So it's great to see also that the community is growing. If we try to have diversity of participants, that's something we really strive for when we accept all the registrations and make sure that it's a good mix of participants. You can see that we have about 30% from governments, 22% from Ministry of Health, a few more from other governmental organizations. There's a big group from international organizations and then NGOs and in order, looking at the list, there's a lot of universities, a lot of academia here as well, and then some private sector. So it's a good mix, good diversity, and that's what we want. So we have another record this year is that we have 31 different ministries of health represented last time we had 21. I'd like to go through this quickly so that you can show who you are. So when I call the country, you can stand up and then we can wish you welcome. I saw that there's still quite a lot of these badges outside. So there may be some visa and flight problems, of course, but let's see. Do you have anyone from the Ministry of Health or Government of Afghanistan here? Yes, welcome. Thank you. And then Burkina Faso, welcome. Burundi, they didn't make it. Let's hope they get the visa and get through all the different airport strikes. Kotivar, Ivory Coast, welcome. And then there's a brand new DHS country, Equatorial Guinea. Anyone here? Welcome. We should have a big group from Ethiopia. Welcome. And then Ghana. I know there were some, they say, hi there you are. Welcome. And Guinea. Do you have Guinea here? No, not yet. Hope they can make it Indonesia. I'm at the Ministry. That's the his group, maybe. Tomorrow? That's good. Okay, Jordan, in the back, welcome. New country starting with the DHS this year. Kenya, not in Europe at all. Welcome. Malawi, welcome. Maldives, welcome. And Mali. We have Mali, welcome. And another new country, Morocco. Not yet. And then Mozambique, Mozambique, not yet. Namibia, more visa and airport problems. Nigeria. They always make it. Yeah, they're there. Pakistan. I saw a big group. What was that? What was that? So we didn't have anyone from Nigeria yet. Now, I know that you have to go through this extra screening for Schengen visa. So it's been difficult actually to get visa for Nigeria this year. Then Pakistan. You're here. It's coming. Yeah, we have other delegates. See UNICEF there, but we'll have ministry representing later. Okay, then Congo, Brazil, Republic of Congo. Anyone here? No. And then Rwanda. Welcome, welcome. South to main principle. Are they here? Not yet. Then Senegal, so more earlier. Welcome, welcome. It's been a lot of DHS activity in Somalia over the last year. Anyone from Somalia? Yeah, welcome, welcome. And then the very first country to stage is South Africa. We're here. Welcome. Then the RC. Anyone from the RC? Yeah, welcome. Welcome. And Uganda. Uganda here? Yeah. Welcome, Paul. Zambia, industry in Zambia, not here. And then Zimbabwe. Welcome. That was the ministry. So we're about 20 something, still a record. Then if you look at other organizations that are here, I bragged them by number of participants. You can see, you may remember that when we started announcing this, we had quite limited capacity. We thought people were not ready to travel yet. So we had an auditorium down there for about 175 people. And Alice gave you a hard time with quotas of three to five per organization. And in the end, we have 17 from UNICEF. We have 17 from WHO plus power there. So you see big group also from CDC and MSF, BO, many of his groups, PSI, Jon Snow. So I think we can do them quickly also. Who's from UNICEF? Can you stand up? Welcome. And then WHO, do you want to be POW? Do you want to be included or do you want to be separate? And we can do all WHO and POW. Welcome. Great. We do have actually many regional offices represented this year and that's great. We have Afro, MRO, POW all here. And we also have WAHO, West Africa Health Organization, where is WAHO? Yeah. Welcome. And then we can do CDC. Welcome. MSF. Welcome. BO. Welcome. And then PSI. Welcome. And JSI. Welcome. Welcome. There you are. And we have CHI. Welcome. And then POW, they stand up together with the WHO colleagues. FHI 360. Welcome. We have Global Fund. A few people. Yeah. Welcome. And then we have Abbott. Welcome. Great. University of Dar es Salaam is here. UDSM. Welcome. And then we have Oriole Global Health. Yeah. Welcome. First of all. And then I think you see many hisps here and then many more. We had a whole week. Yeah. Yeah. Maurice. Welcome, Dr. Fese. You were not on my list? Yeah. Good to see you here. Then we had a whole week of hisp discussions, strategic discussions and trainings last week. So we have many hisps groups. Kristi mentioned them all earlier, but maybe all the hisps can stand up. Welcome. There are many. Great. And since we don't have time to introduce everyone personally, but we'll have many breaks. We'll have many social events and we really encourage you to expand your hisp network and make new friends in the DJAS2 community. If you want to know who everyone are and read their backgrounds, you can go to the SCED app and browse the participant registry. And that's also an opportunity for you to upload your most beautiful photo and write all the good things about your background. So you see some of them here. And then Kristi talked about agenda and you have the SCED app where you can go through it. We have four days of sessions. It's pretty packed. We'll start with plenaries in this room every morning. Sometimes for 90 minutes, sometimes for the morning up to lunch. And then we have another building just across here. It's just 25 meters called VB where we'll do all the plenary breakout sessions in smaller auditoriums. So afternoons will always be over there. And we have a map to show you later. We have a lot of diversity in terms of presentations. We have this call for abstracts out and we got 149 submissions. So big thank you to everyone for submitting. And the agenda now includes 173 unique speakers across 89 sessions. So it's pretty amazing. But I know that there's still badges out there and the morning sessions are historically a little bit low attended. So we have some super hot topics here starting 8.30 every morning. We like to party at Kristi and Seb but we also hero during the day and the morning. So really want you guys to come here at 8.30 every day. And then all the details on the agenda you can find in Sked. You can browse it on your mobile. It's very easy. You can also download an app for it. You can create your own profile. If you have any problems, I guess you can contact Alice and her team here. But I think most of them should have their accounts now. Is that correct? Yeah. And then you can also it's very easy. You can also tick, especially when there are a lot of parallel sessions, you can kind of tick the one you want and build your own personal agenda. Keep it a little bit easier. We may do some changes. So as with each is please remember to clear your cash frequently. That may solve problems. I think that's all we need to say about this one. And then we have a few kind of in the afternoon, a few special sessions. This afternoon, we have the use case. But if you've been here before, you know what it is, we tried to change it a little bit today. But it's basically a chance for many different implementations to share their experiences. We have in total now 24 use case presentations that will be in the Bazaar in different stations. And then you can walk around and listen to them. There will be a little bit of speed dating. They will have maximum 15 minutes per round. And they will get a lot of exercise in presenting because they'll do it 10 times. And then to make it a little bit easier this year, we've created a catalog, a map of all the different stations. I'll get to that on the next slide. And then we'll leave it up to you now to choose where to go. Previously we had these groups where we move around, but today you can go to the ones you want. And you will be able to do about 10 in the two and a half hours we have. So you have to pick the ones you're most interested in. So if you look at this, we'll print this right away. So they will get a print out of this. So you can follow. You see all the presentations here. And then the location on the map in the lobby area just across here. So that will be starting at 4.30 this afternoon. That was on the slide. Whenever this is going, you have to change the numbers. Yeah. So you need to follow these instructions there. So we'll 15 minutes and then we have to walk to another one and they will start. So that we start, they all start in sync. I think that will be fun. Great opportunity to meet people and have discussions in smaller groups as well. Okay. Then the other two afternoons on Tuesday and Wednesday, you will get the chance to talk to the various developers and expert implementers one-on-one. We'll have the expert lounge. We don't need any frequent flyer points. I know you have lost your privileges over the pandemic. This lounge is open to anyone. We'll have a lot of tables in the lobby area for Android, for budgeting and planning, for integration, data analysis, and then just stop by the table and then you get the chance to talk to us. There will also be a few sessions in the auditoriums next to that area on bigger topics where you can have group discussions and demos. So everything in this get up, much more details there. So that is Tuesday and Wednesday for 30 to 6.30. And then you want to take this one, Max? Yeah. Yeah. You got to stay around the educational part before the party. My name is Max. I lead the DHS2 training and communication team here at the University of Oslo. I started just after the last in-person annual conference in 2019. So I haven't had a chance to meet a lot of you in person yet, although we have exchanged emails or posted the COP with each other. So I'm really excited to talk to people this week. And my team is helping out with the technical part of the conference. So if you have any questions or issues, let me know and I'll try to sort it out for you. I want to give a big round of applause for Alice who's leading the logistics conference. Thank you. So really what I'm saying is we have questions. I'm going to go ask Alice what the answer is. But I'm here as a buffer to kind of absorb those questions and then help her fix it for us. Anyway, so we are live streaming this conference. This is the first time we've done a really blended conference with everything both online and in person. So that's why you're seeing Zoom stuff on the screens. Hopefully that's all right. It means we have a chance to reach a lot more people with this conference. So if you're joining remotely, this is especially for people who are hopefully already joining us remotely. All the links to Zoom are in these SCAD details for each session. So you can go there and click on them and hopefully get right into the Zoom. We are trying to keep it simple. So we have four different parallel session rooms we're using and they each have the same link throughout the day. So from session to session, you just stay in that room or switch to another one. It should hopefully be fairly straightforward. This is the same as we did for our digital conferences the last couple years just in person. Their SCAD is also broken up into parts for several sessions. That's really just sort of looks right in the schedule, but really those are just one continuous session. The session leads may have breaks built in, but just follow along. We're not trying to make it too confusing. And then plenary sessions, what we're doing right now is we're streaming this on the Community Practice and on YouTube. So hopefully also reaching people there who might not have registered for the event. They can just watch it live. So we also are trying out something new this year. This is a live chat function on the Community Practice. So if you're on there and if you click the link that was sent out in today's post, you can get added to that chat group and then you can have a live discussion with other people on the COP, including people who aren't here in person. And we're also doing French interpretation. So maybe it's best if Alice explains this part. I think Alice you're already on YouTube. Okay, so yeah. So obviously the So this year we will provide French interpretation for the French speaking community. So I'm going to switch in French. So this year we have all the members of the Francophone community present here at Oslo for the annual conference can benefit from the French interpretation. So all the plenary sessions will be automatically interpreted in French, as well as some of the parallel sessions. If you are here at Oslo and you want to listen to the French sessions, it's very simple. You just have to join an listener and be connected to the Zoom link that you can find on SCAD. So if you have a problem or whatever, don't hesitate to come and see me. Then in order to benefit, when you are on Zoom, in order to benefit from the French interpretation, it's very simple. On SCAD, in any case, you will see that all the sessions that benefit from the French interpretation in this icon, English French. So it's there to help you in the selection of your sessions. When you click on SCAD on the session that interests you, you have the Zoom link, you go to Zoom, then you will have a small icon here that means interpretation. When you don't see this icon, it means that the interpretation is not provided for the session. So if you see this icon, you just have to click on the icon and then select French. You will be automatically directed towards the French space of the Zoom session and you will be able to follow the session in French. Thank you very much. Okay, and this is a general layout of the conference in the physical space. So for remote guests, just follow along. So here we are. We are in the plenary hall, as you can see in the right side there. Directly across the plaza from us is the building we'll be having all the parallel sessions. So if you walk out the main entrance that you came in and continue directly across the plaza, you'll get to the parallel session hall and they're all spread out across the back wall there when you enter. That's also where we're going to have the use case bazaar and the pizza party later today. So primarily we'll be moving between these two buildings for all the sessions and the plenaries, as Ola mentioned, start here in this building every morning at 8.30. Lunch is across to the left if you exit this building. There's a bigger plaza there and you will come to a building called Federica. Go on the door and go up the stairs and we have a large cafeteria there. We'll be having lunch. Copy breaks in the morning will be here as you saw this morning. We'll have them in the lobby of this building and then during the afternoons when we're running parallel sessions primarily, we'll be across the plaza in the parallel session building. And again, Sked has all the information on where each session will take place. Plenary sessions will always be here and then for the parallel sessions, just see which room. It's either one, two, four, five, and you can see their number when you get across the building across the plaza. And then I just need to know to get lunch. They have coupons. What do you need to get lunch? Your badge. You need your badge. And in the lunch area, if you are eating, for instance, vegetarian, we'll show you where the vegetarian area is. But in any case, to access the lunch area, yes, you need your badge, please. So please pick up your badge if you haven't done this already. I heard there were a few people that haven't. So they will still be out there in the break now very soon. So please get your badge. This is also then your food. And beer later today, I guess. All right. More details. So if you want to log into the Wi-Fi network while you're here, the network uses conferences, the password is there on the screen. This is also written down on pieces of paper out in the lobby. So if you don't take a picture of us now, you can get it out there. But don't share us on social media. We don't want everyone to log on to this network. Okay, bathrooms. There are two downstairs, one male, one female, to get them to go out the door to the right for men, left for women. And then there are also bathrooms in the parallel session building and water. The tap water in Norway is perfectly nice and good and safe to drink. So if you want fresh water, just take it from the tap. And use your brand. Use your brand in DHS 2 Cup. If you got a bag, there's a cup in there you can use. And if you haven't gotten a bag yet, please take one. There are all hanging hooks outside of the door. And social events. So as I mentioned, today after the use case bizarre, we'll be having pizza and drinks. And this will just be in the lobby of the building across the plaza here. And during that time, my team will also have a video camera set up in a corner and we'll be inviting people to come over and just briefly, you know, what DHS 2 means to you. So anything you want to share with us. So we'll try to make that location clear when we're over there. And I just bite people out to talk to us while you're enjoying the celebration. And I think Ola, you wanted to explain the grand finale will be on Thursday after lunch. For those that have been here before, it's a bit unfortunate that they're not able to go to the island this year. Because they are electrifying the ferries and they haven't managed that process very well. So there's been a lot of long, long lines and people waiting and stuck on the island. So I don't want all of you to be stuck there. But we'll find another location. We do something from the outdoors. Yeah, we'll find some some lake where we don't need to go by ferry. We bring food, we bring drinks and games. We can play football, we can go swimming and have fun. So that's the plan for Thursday afternoon. More details will come later. Hope you can all stay for that. Thank you. And Alice, do you want to explain this part? This is the group photo. Oh, yes. So this year, it's a pleasure to go back to our old traditions. So the first one is the group picture. You are all invited to be at quarter to four outside the Sopistiae Auditarium. It's basically on the square in the stairs. Please do not be late because we would really like to have like everybody on the picture and it can take some time to organize to arrange that. So please make sure to be there at quarter to four. And if the session is not over, you can remind you are your lead. And no social distancing. And no social distancing. Yeah, it's great for that one. Yeah. So another tradition of ours, it's obviously the photo challenge. So as usual, you take you the best pictures, get inspired by the annual conference. The only thing that we will ask you is to share them, obviously, using the hashtag DAC 2022 so you can share them on Twitter, on Facebook. That's fine. We just ask you to use these hashtags so that we can recognize the picture and also find them. So yeah. That's a bit. Yeah. So remember 8.30 every morning. And then thank you. Lars and his team will start the hottest of the sessions. What's new in the HS2 at 10.30 sharp because they always spend a lot of time showing. Yeah, 10.30. Yeah. So 20 minutes or 15, 17 minutes. They always go over time and we need that one hour for lunch. So we have to start on time so you can refill your coffee, say hi to your friends and then please come back here as soon as possible so we can start 10.30. Thank you.
