EuRuKo 2023

00:00:09.860 hi everyone uh my name is Muhammad I'm
00:00:13.500 working at Meister Labs as a ruby
00:00:15.780 developer right now and I'm gonna pitch
00:00:17.600 goat uruko in tusla
00:00:21.840 um
00:00:23.880 louder
00:00:25.380 okay this better
00:00:27.900 thanks
00:00:30.240 I'm thinking why not start with a simple
00:00:32.579 question why go to Germany or Italy
00:00:34.920 where you can go to Bosnia to Governor
00:00:36.780 like have you ever thought about it
00:00:41.280 I mean you're gonna go to a vacation in
00:00:43.620 Germany or Italy you're going to go to
00:00:45.600 many conferences in in I don't know
00:00:47.719 warshaw Copenhagen I don't know what the
00:00:50.039 other cities are when are you going to
00:00:51.840 come to to Bosnia
00:00:53.579 when are you going to come to Boston and
00:00:55.079 do something that you enjoy and explore
00:00:56.760 the culture and explore the the city and
00:00:59.039 the people
00:00:59.820 so
00:01:01.440 this might be the perfect opportunity
00:01:04.440 um we already have partners and sponsors
00:01:07.500 uh
00:01:13.560 foreign
00:01:18.260 organizers and civil sponsors of this
00:01:20.520 conference today and a local
00:01:22.560 non-government organization we have
00:01:24.119 Futures Foundation that have experience
00:01:26.040 in organizing these events and a
00:01:28.080 potential sponsor uh we're negotiating
00:01:31.140 it's the goat simulator uh
00:01:34.380 next year it will be 10 uh 10-year
00:01:36.840 anniversary and the founder is Bosnian
00:01:38.280 so you know
00:01:41.240 uh a bit about tusla it's the most
00:01:45.780 tolerant or diversity friendly City in
00:01:47.759 Boston United Governor which is one of
00:01:50.340 the reasons I'm proud of my city I
00:01:53.100 posted this this image there because
00:01:55.200 it's in real close proximity you can see
00:01:58.380 uh Catholic church and Orthodox church
00:02:00.299 and a mosque
00:02:01.500 so
00:02:02.939 I don't know it the the image itself
00:02:05.100 speaks volumes
00:02:08.239 it's also called the Salt Lake City and
00:02:11.039 you will see you later why
00:02:13.440 um it's the third largest city in Bosnia
00:02:15.300 and next year to be one thousand years
00:02:17.520 and 74 1074 years old
00:02:20.280 it's a very Green and A diversity
00:02:22.260 friendly City
00:02:24.180 um
00:02:24.780 this is the the the reason why you'll
00:02:28.440 see later so we have the only I think uh
00:02:32.400 artificial Salt Lakes that are in
00:02:34.500 Eastern Europe maybe even the the in
00:02:37.379 Europe I don't know
00:02:39.060 um
00:02:40.200 in these these Lakes are open until the
00:02:43.739 seasons is until the 15th of August so
00:02:45.959 we're thinking maybe to have the
00:02:47.280 conference in the first two weeks of
00:02:49.140 August
00:02:49.920 so you can enjoy the lake uh swim and at
00:02:53.040 night we can have parties here we can
00:02:54.720 have networking events here I already
00:02:56.220 checked this though this effect

00:03:00.239 developer so
00:03:03.660 um these are also confirmed options for
00:03:05.940 main menu locations uh if it's going to
00:03:09.480 be a bit of a smaller event it can be a
00:03:12.900 bit of a luxurious hotel if it's a huge
00:03:15.540 event which I hope it is uh we can book
00:03:18.239 something like this
00:03:20.420 which is the Sports Hall for the local
00:03:23.280 Basketball City and they have a goat on

00:03:54.420 the
00:03:55.920 half a liter of for a beer cost one post
00:03:59.659 0.7 Euros so
00:04:02.340 yeah
00:04:03.239 beat that
00:04:10.379 uh
00:04:12.659 some other locations to mention the
00:04:14.640 local Town Square it has many pubs and
00:04:17.820 nice restaurants in the in the vicinity
00:04:20.540 and the mother's Lake which is the
00:04:24.660 water source for the city and has also
00:04:27.660 nice nice options for restaurants and
00:04:29.460 parties
00:04:30.600 let me explain the goat
00:04:33.479 um
00:04:34.620 we have a statue of a goat in the city
00:04:37.940 basically there's a story going that
00:04:40.380 during the Austrian Empire when it was
00:04:43.220 occupying tusla they actually forbade
00:04:46.199 goats
00:04:47.160 and ordered everyone to kill off goats
00:04:49.740 and because they believed it's harming
00:04:53.100 the forest or something like that and
00:04:55.020 there was one family in tusla that
00:04:56.580 didn't want to do that so they hit the
00:04:57.960 goat
00:04:59.460 and basically that one gold fed the
00:05:02.280 whole city with cheese and and milk
00:05:05.040 whatever and
00:05:07.919 as you know I'm not sure if you wear
00:05:09.780 this like as I'm pitching like why not
00:05:11.340 go to Bosnia there was never a ruby
00:05:13.500 conference in Bosnia
00:05:15.360 and essentially euroco next year could
00:05:18.060 be the goat that feeds the community in
00:05:20.880 in Bosnia that has never had this
00:05:22.919 experience
00:05:29.039 these are some early visuals that you
00:05:31.259 can see
00:05:33.060 we're already ready to go so
