 Okay. Hello, everybody. Welcome to DEBCOMF 11. When I was standing like this two years ago in Spain, you know, giving the bid, talking, giving the presentation about DEBCOMF in Bosnia, I never thought this would happen. And it still didn't kick me that this is happening. So, okay, you owe me beer. But besides of that, I would like to thank President of Republika Srpska and Government of Republika Srpska for following and with, yeah, so with their following, that have a vision that follows successful people and for enabling us to put Banyaluca on a map of a role besides, you know, shoulder to shoulder with New York City. Yeah. We wanted to give a warm welcome to everybody and thank them for giving us that and enabling us with that. Besides that, I would thank... As really, without them, this wouldn't happen. I would also like to thank our MTEL, our Golden Sponsor, because with their support, they showed we have a friend. Also, I would thank all the other sponsors such as Google, HP, Canonical, Leonardo and so on. But besides that, of course, to thank Minister of Science and Technology for being with us this whole time and, of course, City of Banyaluca as well as Bansky Dwar. Some say Banyaluca is the most beautiful city in the world. Thank you for showing us that today and enabling us to show you that. So it's true. Now, everybody, President of Republika Srpska, Milorad Dodik. Sorry, sorry. Wrong call. Sorry. Okay, I said I can't believe this is happening. So President of MTEL, please take the mic. I would like to welcome you on behalf of MTEL Company, one of three dominant telecom operators in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the company with the mission to connect people with the latest technologies. I have a great honor to be part of the Debian Conference 2011 and I would like to welcome you to the meeting with the President of MTEL. I would like to welcome you to the meeting to be part of Debian Conference 2011. Conference where expert meet and derive new dimensions of communication. We strive to offer our customer the latest services while supporting scientific meetings and knowledge. We also strive influence on development of information society and accessibility of new technologies to everyone as this market would be closer to the developed western countries. Telecommunication is a sector in which free software has a special role. It is difficult today to imagine the functioning of telecommunication networks without Linux, for example. Therefore MTEL production platforms are largely based on Linux installations. Namely, the role of telecom operators at the end of the day is to enable better connection between people through all available channels. These channels are often serviced by some of the free software system solutions and MTEL as a company feels a deep connection with the philosophy behind free software. Therefore in accordance with social responsibility which is our strategic objective we support young professionals in the IT field. We have recognized the importance of the open source software on the example of the Android platform for mobile devices and we have recently organized a contest called Android League. Primarily we see it is a stimulus for the local IT community to begin developing applications in local languages and adapt it to this market. The best application developers and authors will be rewarded with valuable money prizes and all applications will be available free to our users on the Android market. In the end, I wish a successful work to all participants of the Debian Conference 2011 and express the hope that this place will be a ground for the exchange of knowledge and new ideas. Good luck. And they are present. Now I would like Minister Komic to come and address us all. Dear President of the Republic of Serbia, President of the Government of the Republic of Serbia, dear guests and ladies and gentlemen. Greetings to the name of the Ministry of Science and Technology and I express my sincere pleasure that the Debian Conference is held in Banja Luka, that is the Republic of Serbia. Because in this way we are recognized as a space that is seriously engaged in informatization and building of information society. Dear Mr President, in this way we have the opportunity to promote our sincere presence, to be included in the European integration process and all the other flows, especially informatical, because we are aware that this is the right path in the future. With special pleasure, I greet our guests, participants of the Debian Conference that have come to Banja Luka and the Republic of Serbia in honor and given the opportunity to show our determination as a home conference. Not only for the development of informatical and information society, but also for cooperation between people, for friendship and to express our desire for active participation in the European world talks and processes. Dear guests, we would like to welcome Mr Boravak and to feel like at home. This year Banja Luka is both at the�� and is becoming the first center of technological development and the World Forum of Debian Conference of Republic of Serbian is confirmed as an informatical and technological perspective of the region with a huge chance of exploration of modern scientific and technological achievements of the whole region. In addition, the results of the Republic of Serbian have an entire institutional framework, The Ministry of Science and Technology and the Agency for the Information Society of the Republic of Serbia have created themes for rapid development of electronic services, the modernization of public services, the use of information technologies, the reform of health, schools and all other segments which are mentioned in our strategic documents and measures. While there are many information and mega projects from the establishment of electronic evidence of citizens to the development of electronic health, we have combined all of this in the sphere of a global, ruling project called E-Serbian. The current opening of the Debian Conference is full of support which the institutions of the Republic of Serbia, above all the president of the Republic of the Government, provide the development of an open code software. This is one of the best indicators of technological indiscrimination, the will to recognize the quality instead of quantity and the determination to investigate all the models of software development. We are aware that the software is an open code due to its specific methodology and development in today's economic, demand and uncertain times in the secure quality of the spring and the presence of the financial nature. This is also a decision to take into account the unreserved support for more, really and more than justified. We are confident that the technology that is based on the open code software will find its place in the sphere of E-Serbian. We are especially pleased that in Banja Luka, the Republic of Serbia is currently hosting a large number of foreign IT directors, programmers and enthusiasts who have traveled a long way to attend the Debian Conference. This clearly shows the importance of Debian as well as how much it has invested in Linux and put in the effort to secure and stable the operating system that is increasingly being implemented and the users who are not informed. And I would tell you a few words because this conference will be held on the English language. The government of the Republic of Srpska, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the agency will continue to work on the development of the IT society. IT gatherings and conferences to exchange ideas, knowledge and opinions are included in those efforts. This is precisely why we expect this conference to promote the exploration of new software development models whose usefulness will not only be felt by yourselves as immediate partakes but by the entire IT world. Every progress in the adoption of new knowledge is also the recognition and promotion of the society and that encourages it. Therefore, we expect that Debian Conference to help in the further development of the Republic of Srpska its transformation into a modern IT society and its inclusion into the European integration process. Thank you for your attention. And I would like to thank our Minister of Science and Technology and now I would like to invite Prime Minister of Republic Srpska. All those countries in the United States have held the largest conference in the world on information technology. Although those are states where such conferences have been held so far, I am proud that as of this year the Republic of Srpska will find itself on that list. Banja Luka and the Republic of Srpska will be the center of occurrences in the world of information in the next few days. It is a huge step forward for the promotion of the Republic of Srpska and its potentials. The mere fact that 500 participants from almost 80 states all very good at information technologies and experts in that field says a lot about the importance of this conference. I hope you will take to the world the story about Banja Luka and the Republic of Srpska. It is our obligation to, in the next few days, present ourselves as good hosts and present our knowledges. It is our obligation to, in the next few days, present ourselves as good hosts and present our knowledges. Our expertise and the affirmation in the field of information technologies. In order for the reforms and modernization in our society to be as successful as possible. The Republic of Srpska government pays huge attention to information technologies. In that relation we have been holding electronic sessions of the government for quite a while now. We have promoted the electronic managing of evidence and registries and we have an electronic management of book, of land book registries. We are working also in introducing information technologies in schools and on computer literacy of all inhabitants of the Republic of Srpska. It is clear that information technologies have penetrated all pores of society and that without them the development of economy is not imaginable. Infrastructure or industry or any other field of activity. Precisely for that reason our objective is to make Republic of Srpska a developed information society. In accordance with the widening and the spreading of information technologies and in order to apply them in a better efficient way it is necessary to put them within a legal framework. In that relation the Republic of Srpska has adopted a series of laws and bylaws and strategic documents regulating this field. The law on electronic business conducting and the law on electronic documents and the law on electronic signatures are just a few of the laws currently in application in the Republic of Srpska. Conferences like this are gathering the most eminent experts in these fields where they have the opportunity of exchanging their knowledge and experience. They will always have my personal support and the support of the government to all the participants of this year's Debian Conference. I wish successful work, a lot of success in their work and good results. Once again I wish to welcome you and use this opportunity to thank all individuals and all collectives who have given their contribution for such a manifestation to be held in Banja Luka and in the Republic of Srpska. Thank you very much. Now thanks of course to the Prime Minister and now the man who is basically responsible for all of it Miload Dodik. Good morning everybody, welcome to Banja Luka and to the Republic of Srpska. I hope that you have already gotten the first impressions about this place and I hope that you will leave Banja Luka with good memories and good results. I hope that you have already gotten the first impressions about this place and I hope that you will leave Banja Luka with good memories, good friendships and the best experience. Two years ago when we first spoke about holding this conference I must tell you that I was not completely aware of the importance and the magnitude of such an event. Today I am proud that I gave my support to this from the beginning. One of the great news I received was that we got the conference in a huge competition with other important centres and almost beat Munich in that competition. Of course we are a smaller society but I am sure that we have many more emotions and that is why I am sure that your staying here will be very good. You came here to a society of an open heart, an open society among friends. Anything that is good take it with you, let it be your ownership and whatever is not that good blame me for that. Many of you have come here probably with certain predictions or suppositions how it would be. Twenty years ago there was war here. Many still have a reflex of that in their subconsciousness and many think that here there is almost a war going on still. The best witnesses that it's not so are you. We are living our lives peacefully here. What we lack is a possibility of getting more involved in global tendencies and developments and that is why this conference here is so important. This conference is the best proof of such an effort from our side. I wish you success and I wish you to have such a good time to come back again. This conference will give support to us to work more on whatever integrates us more to the international community. I wish you all a lot of success a pleasant stay and good friendships. That was it when it comes to this part. Now we are going to have a press release and a room above. Thank you everybody for coming. Rest of the day for today is going to be more of a technical nature and where you can use Debian and such Linux technologies in your companies, your institutions and so on. One part should have drinks right now and the other part should go to the press release room upstairs. See you later.
