May 14, 2018 - To celebrate ten years of business, the company “DoMEn” organized a “Code Day” on Monday, the 14th of May, 2018.
“DoMEn” is an organization that manages the “.me” country code top-level domain for Montenegro. The country code top-level domain is a two-letter Internet top-level domain, specifically designated for the country to use. The main goal of this company is to become a successful registry operator by offering the “.me” domain space. “DoMEn” has completed numerous goals over the years, and it has become a renewed and prosperous company.
The “Code Day” which the company had recently organized in the shopping mall “Delta City,” in Podgorica, was focused on motivation and raising awareness. Its main purpose was to positively influence the Montenegrin society. The programming day was directed at all generations, as the organizers mentioned, “from 9 to 99 years old”.
Students from 15 different Montenegrin cities visited the event. Six significant workshops impressed all visitors: CodeWeek programming basics, CodeWeek advanced programming, FIRST LEGO League programming basics, FIRST LEGO League advanced programming, DoMEn’s programming school and Demonstration VR / AR. Also, event guests have had the chance to visit booths with the information about Montenegrin colleges.
The Minister of Economy, Mrs. Dragica Sekulić had the honor to open the event with the following statement: „DoMEn has made a huge success in the whole world, partly because the pronoun „me“ has the same meaning in ours and many other world languages. The existance of Montenegrin domen is, on the other hand, one of the symbols of the sovereignty of Montenegro and something that we especially appreciate.“ She was very proud of the fact that in the past ten years, Montenegro has received more than 30 million EUR from the .me domain.
Before the workshops started, the representative of the company “DoMEn,” Mr. Predrag Lešić and Mrs. Sekulić, awarded the winners of the online competitions in algorithmic programming, organized in the past three weeks. The first prize was handed to Nina Mitrović from Tivat, the second to Filip Došljak from Pljevlja, the third prize went to Jovan Kašelan from Podgorica, and the fourth to an elementary school student, Petar Vukotić.
The partners of the “Code Day” event were the Ministry of Education, Ministry of Public Administration, Ministry of Science, Ministry of Economy, Telekom, University of Montenegro, Alicorn, Digitalizuj.me, CodeWeek, Internet Society, Young inventors of Montenegro, Fleka, and Logate.
