It is great to see a lot of old friends a lot of new faces And we're excited to be here in Prague This is a beautiful city and we're having beautiful weather We have over 800 people here in person and over 450 are joining us virtually So those are our best numbers ever you guys probably don't care about that, but as organizers We like to have a full conference. I want to give a huge. Thank you to our sponsors our diamond sponsors our ant micro Google Intel and Meta and Our platinum sponsors the core embedded Linux project It's one of the projects of the Linux Foundation without these sponsors We wouldn't be able to have this event all the the food and the nice facilities. So we appreciate them and I also Really want to thank the program committees and the chairs. So we have six separate events that are all co-located here and It gives you an opportunity if you want to get outside of your lane a little bit you can go see what's going on with other areas of the embedded ecosystem and so We really appreciate the work of the program committees. It was really hard this year We had we had more submissions Than we've ever had before and so I know it was disappointing for some of those that didn't get accepted But we feel like we've got a great program for you this year indeed So We like again, thank you very much to all the program committees because it was a lot of work Going forward Tonight just a bit of housekeeping stuff. Be sure to join us at you Fleck who brewery and the restaurant for dinner Drinks and fun. So there's gonna be shuttles leaving the restaurant. They'll be starting to load at 715 and We will be in front of the Prague Congress Center here and the Carinthia and they'll be running from both locations Okay So that's going to be starting at 515 and then after six o'clock the shelves will leave every 15 to 30 minutes And we'll circle back and forth between the venue and here so you can spend as much time there as you want And they'll be returning the last one will be returning to the Carinthia hotel or the Prague Convention Center at 9 o'clock So that's what we're doing and when you're there unlike what we're doing right now Please be sure to wear your conference badge so that we know that you know, you're part of the community the community I'd also like to remind everyone that we do have an event code of conduct And everyone agreeing everyone who's agreed to has clicked that they agree to abide by it In short, everyone should feel welcome and included Please treat everyone With respect and professionalism and any concerns go to the reg desk or the ground level and the event team will assist you And with that that ends at the housekeeping and I would like to introduce our first Keynote our first speaker day is Luca Mustafa He is the founder and CEO of earn us which is the Institute for development of advanced applied systems He leads a multidisciplinary team that is Developing open source and devices for some of the most challenging Environments and uses ranging from custom CNC machines to electronics to fiber optics And so today he's going to be sharing a little bit more about earn us his mission to protect wildlife with open-collar devices That runs effort are tossed This is one of these projects that's near and dear to my heart as well because I'm wildlife photographer as a hobby whenever I can get time away from the computer and I very much care about keeping the biodiversity of this planet high and with that please come up and join us
