 So, hello everyone. We're continuing the program here in this room. This is the hack room and hack stage. Yeah, you see it's already like the tables are more distributed. We're trying to create a creative atmosphere here. We have some beanbags also. Where are the beanbags? Are they there? Yeah, there's some beanbags, some lights. So the goal is really to have a nice hackathon here in this space. Some catering here for the site is also coming. So we're creating here the hackathon environment. Yeah, but many people are here and they also want to know actually more about the background of the hackathon. So there are some requirements. There are some goals that we want to achieve and you are asking like, oh, I read so many things, so much information. What is the most relevant? What can I do with it? And what happens if I don't win? Of course, you always gain your knowledge. You always gain more. But you can even, for example, participate in other programs with your hack and continue hacking it and see maybe what good things you can do with it. So we have a few presentations here today with you. Misako will start first. Then we have Andrea and then we have like more information who are the mentors and so on. And we're getting started now. So thank you very much for joining us. I know more people will be joining over the evening who come from school and so on, but we already have a lot of people here. So let's get started. Thank you very much and welcome Misako Ito from the UNESCO Bangkok office. Thank you. Thank you, Mario and Honfuk and the First Asia for providing and again this opportunity for UNESCO to organize with you the hackathon. So this year, we are celebrating within the United Nations the International Year of Indigenous Languages. So the topic that we have chosen for this year is hack the future, preserving Indigenous languages through free and open source software. So let me give you a little bit of a background. I know that some of you already attended the debate, so you are familiar, but I just want to share with you about a few words about UNESCO, why we are engaged in this community with free and open source communities. So UNESCO is a United Nations agency, which was established in 1945 after the Second World War with a very, very beautiful mandate to create peace in the mind of man and woman through communication, science, culture and communications and we have a very strong mandate for promoting culture and linguistic diversity and also for promoting access to to information, open access to information and so on. So this is why we have been working with First Asia for already several years to support the community, but also to work together to organize these kind of activities. Just to give you some figures and fact about Indigenous languages. So we have in the world over 6,700 spoken languages and half of them are in dangers. According to UNESCO, we estimate that 90% of those languages could not survive by the end of the 21st century and every two weeks we have a languages that disappear from the world and together with these languages it's the culture, the perception of the world and the identity of those people who speak the languages also disappear. So this is a very, very important concern for UNESCO and that's why we are we have lunch this year to engage everyone in the world to think about the importance of protecting those minority languages because those languages that disappear, most of them, they are Indigenous languages. So the objective of of this year is to remind us that Indigenous languages are the languages of our world, our time. They are spoken by over 370 millions people in the world in almost 19 countries and they should be safeguarding for cultural diversity and we also, through this year, we also encourage knowledge sharing and development of language resources and technologies and this is why we are here for this hackathon. So some of the example that we put together with FOSS Asia in the announcement of type of outcomes, applications that you can develop in relation to Indigenous languages could be localization, geolocalization, internationalization and multi-language search features of existing software, implementation of new skills in different languages, in voice application and smart speakers, solutions, app or skill to increase cooperation around Indigenous languages, app for learning or reading in Indigenous languages, Implementing translation tool, groceries, e-dictionaries in a personal assistant, solution for providing greater access to scientific applications in Indigenous languages, app and experiment for promoting scientific knowledge in Indigenous languages, using different media, images, voice, audio, etc. and game-solving questions and challenges relating to languages, Indigenous topics and cultures. So there will be mentors during the hackathon who will be here to assist you in explaining better than me all these outcomes. We also have, we have the honour to have seven Indigenous participants who have joined this hackathon. Please, I will call you one by one, please stand up and could you please introduce yourself just to tell very briefly your background so that the hackers can also team up with you, okay?
