FOSDEM 2022 and Ada

FOSDEM 2022 and Ada

[Fernando Oleo Blanco]

Hi everybody,

FOSDEM 2022 has been announced and it has been decided that, once again 
(sadly), it will take place online [1] (though that is great news for 
people abroad).

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.

Hi,

the devroom CfP has been opened. The initial timetable has also been 
laid out. The most important date is that devroom proposals are closed 
on the 15th of November, so in less than two weeks.

I recommend everyone who is interested in helping with the organization
of an Ada DevRoom at FOSDEM, to subscribe to the dedicated AdaFOSDEM
mailing list [1] that is used since early 2012 for this purpose.

In particular, please read the message [2] that I posted there
yesterday with subject "Ada at FOSDEM 2022?"
