Officially, it merged into Ada-Europe a few years ago. Its former publication, "Ada User", eventually became Ada-Europe's quarterly "Ada User Journal". So, if you are interested in the AUJ and the Ada 2005 Rationale, you can become a direct member of Ada-Europe. (Personally, I think it is a shame that the UK, probably the European country with the most Ada developers, now lacks a national organisation and corresponding vote in ISO ballots.) -- Ludovic Brenta.
