30th anniversary of 1st Ada-Belgium Seminar

30th anniversary of 1st Ada-Belgium Seminar

[Dirk Craeynest]

Today, October 3rd, 2021, marks the 30th anniversary of the first
public event organized by the (then still forming) Ada-Belgium
non-profit organization, a half-day Seminar.

A page was created on the Ada-Belgium web-site to present some
historic information on that event, retrieved from various archives.

Enjoy!

The former URL is a shorter version and should redirect to the latter.
Looks like reddit applied the redirection when posting the message.

The short URL works for me as-is in Google Chrome and in Firefox.
Could the problem come from the fact that there was no leading
"http://" and that not all browsers add this automagically?

Does the following work?

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks for pointing out the alternative!

Dirk

Neither of the short-form links worked for me this afternoon (Linux/Firefox), 
but do work now.

The problem seems to be with Emacs/Gnus; copied & pasted in Safari &
Firefox workes fine.
