The recently posted reminder for the Ada-Europe 2023 Conference
triggered several requests for extra time. To give all authors the
same opportunity to further refine their submission, the organizers
decided that the deadline for industrial- and work-in-progress-track
abstracts, and for tutorial and workshop proposals will be extended
by 1 week until Monday, 6 March 2023. 1+ week remains!

Hello, all,

Michael Holloway has taken over from me as the administrator of the Team-Ada
mailing list.

It has been my privilege to serve the Ada community in this role since 2005, but
now it is time for someone else to step in. I'm sure Michael will do an
excellent job.

This change should have no effect on the working of the list.

Hello, all,

According to https://www.sigada.org/exec/awards/2006_SIGAda_Awards.pdf, I have
been the administrator of the Team-Ada mailing list since 2005. Before that
Michael Berman had been the administrator for ten years, and received the 2006
ACM SIGAda Distinguished Service Award for his efforts.

I think it is time for me to pass the baton, so I am looking for someone who is
willing to take over. The position is not very demanding. The list gets little
spam and not very much legitimate use. If you are willing, contact me directly
for more information.

Dear Colleagues,

I hope you are all well and ready for the fall, whatever it might bring in these uncertain times.

My wife Ruth and I are moving from Portland to Berkeley in the near future (yes, our son and his family live there -- he is a professor at Cal Berkeley); our new flat will have many advantages, but alas, not nearly enough space for all our books, papers, and media.

revision of the Ada Programming Language and associated standards and

I have been asked to announce to this group that Jacob Sparre Andersen has passed away from stomach cancer on Sunday 16th of December 2018.

Jacob was admitted to hospital only a month ago, and despite his diagnosis, he retained his usual jolly and helpful self until the very end.

We hope that the many communities Jacob enriched will help preserve memories of Jacob, for his daughter Lea to find and treasure when she grows up.

All,

On behalf of SIGAda, we are pleased to announce that Dr. Peter Chapin from the Vermont Technical College has won the 2017 Robert Dewar Award for Outstanding Ada Community Contributions.

Here are some highlights of Peter's contributions to the Ada community:

* Peter developed the tool chain, wrote some of the software and supervised the students writing the rest of the software for the Vermont Lunar CubeSat ( cubesatlab.org ). The software was written in SPARK/Ada, converted to C with AdaMagic (as there was no Ada compiler for the TI MSP430 processor in the CubeSat) and compiled with a

Hi Folks,

The ZanyBlue library and utils version 1.3.0b is available for download at

http://zanyblue.sourceforge.net

or directly from the download area:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/zanyblue/files/

The changes since the last release are:

* Added a new utility zbinfo to query built-in data. This was released as
an example previously (the dumplocale example which has been dropped).
* Added encoding support to convert Wide_String values to String based on
an encoding schema, e.g., UTF-8, ISO8859-2, CP932, SHIFT_JIS, etc. To
fully
use this functionality, narrow accessors should be used which, when
printing,
use Stream_IO to avoid interaction between the Text_IO and encoded
values.
The list

I currently have a school project involving autonomous machines controlled
by Arduino hardware. The Arduino system reminds me of *Ada Mindstorms* - a
standalone computer system with its program downloaded from a PC. Arduino
programming language is based on C++ but I noted somewhere that programming
can be done in 'other languages'. I was wondering if there is an *Ada
Arduino* movement.

Dear Members of the Ada Community:

We welcome your nominations for the 2016 Robert Dewar Award for Outstanding Ada Community Contributions and the 2016 ACM SIGAda Distinguished Service Award.

SIGAda has renamed its annual award for "broad, lasting contributions to Ada technology and usage" to the "Robert Dewar Award for Outstanding Ada Community Contributions". Dr. Dewar, who passed away in June 2015, received this award himself in 1995 - it was then known as SIGAda's Ada Community Contributions Award - in recognition of his innovative technological achievements surrounding the Ada language.
This year's SIGAda Award winners will be announced at

I am happy to announce the winner of the Ada Mascot Competition - Entry #5
- "Lady Fairy" the hummingbird. The mascot was designed by Leah Goodreau.

http://gnoga.com/mascot.html

Leah writes "My mascot was inspired by Ada Lovelace's adolescent
fascination with flight and Charles Babbage's nickname for her, "Lady
Fairy." The coloration of the mascot references the Asian fairy-bluebird,
while the silhouette is a hummingbird because of their famed speed and
sleekness."

I can't seem to find where the discussion of SigAda's 2015 event is taking
place or even if there is one coming.

Does anyone know which mail list that is discussed on?

Thanks

I know the Ada Mascot contest is not done yet, but the next Ada Contest
will be centered around a new upcoming site I am a working on for Ada
advocacy.

GetAdaNow.com has already made a a nice splash. The next project will be
LearnAdaNow.com (coming soon) - Not just a collection of pointers to intro
to Ada materials like the current collection, but involved articles, videos
and other media for tips, experiences and best practices. Examples of using
Ada in cool ways, etc.

Happy Birthday Ada Lovelace

Today, December 10 2014, is the 199th birthday of Augusta Ada Byron,
aka Lady Ada Lovelace, recognised by many as the first programmer.

The programming language Ada was named in her honor.

I'd like to remind everyone that a promotional image combining the
historical figure of Ada Lovelace and the programming language Ada
is available at [1].

Hi all,

Recently I've made up four new "Powered by Ada" posters, highlighting Rosetta,

You'll see thumbnails of the new posters there. Click on a thumbnail to get the
full printable, resizable PDF. As a logo, these posters are using the
recently-minted Ada coin Dirk Craeynest sent me.

Do you work on industrial projects (possibly Ada-related) where
reliable software is important? Do you know people working on such
projects? Then this call for industrial presentations is targeted
to you!

Many projects could report a lot of valuable experience: sharing it
with others benefits the whole community and provides useful feedback
to the project.

I invite you to check out the appended call, and to try getting a
1-page presentation overview submitted by January 19th at the latest,
i.e. in 3 weeks from now.

It might be worthwhile trying
