Last year there was no Ada room, unlike past editions. I am sending this message to see if the primary stakeholders would be interested in having an Ada room this year. I think this could be an interesting idea since Ada has evolved quite a bit and there could be some interesting talks such as: - Ada 2022 - Alire - Ada on embedded, see [1] - Interesting projects that people have worked on - Maybe Pierre's wonderful Ada Introduction :) - And general chitchat/networking I personally hope to give a talk about porting GNAT to NetBSD, but that will most likely take place on the NetBSD room, since I think it is more relevant there. I may also do a talk on getting Ada running on a FPGA using RISC-V, we will see. Also, I am volunteering myself to __help__ (not do) anybody who is willing to put on the effort of creating the Ada-devroom.
