Hello folks, I am glad we all finally have our forum.

Looking forward to see more familiar faces...

For those who don't know me, I am Vedad, from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo, Europe.

I am software developer, sys admin, web developer and designer, graphics expert and ant keeper.

Love for photography and nature brought me here, what brought you?

Hello Wook - Glad to know there are still Bosnians in Bosnia! St. Louis, near where I live, has the largest population of Bosnians outside of Bosnia. Perhaps you have friends or relatives among them.

Hello Doc. Well, there's lots of Bosnians, Bosniaks, Croats, Serbs, Gypsies, Jews and others here, we had one unfortunate event of aggression in our near past, so many refugees went out of this hell, during and after that unfortunate event, we had "leakage of intelligence" so that political and economical situation is even worse because we're ruled by those who actually made such event in the past. That means none of those people who went will never return if they have any living brain cells.

Even though I do understand why they left, I do not encourage it nor I do appreciate, so that means that I do not have friends nor family there.

Yes, that is a tragic history, and not forgetten here, either.
By the way, in English we say "brain drain" for leakage of intelligence. Same idea.

I am not quite fine with jargon, but you got my point, that's important.
