Ada Stand at FOSDEM 2023 - Sat 4 & Sun 5 Feb (was: No Ada DevRoom in FOSDEM 2023, alternative DevRooms and Ada-Europe) support

[dirk@orka.cs.kuleuven.be. (Dirk Craeynest)]

Reminder: FOSDEM 2023 takes places this weekend, Sat 4 and Sun 5,
in Brussels, Belgium.  See www.fosdem.org.

Even though we didn't manage to get an Ada DevRoom this year
(see below), the Ada FOSDEM team has an Ada stand in the
"Education" group on level 2 of building K at the ULB site,
with theme "It's time to learn Ada!"

Looking forward to meet many Adaists!
