Questionnaire on 'Ada-Belgium Activities' (REMINDER)

Questionnaire on 'Ada-Belgium Activities' (REMINDER)

[Dirk Craeynest]

Ada-Belgium is a non-profit volunteer organization whose purpose is
to promote the use of the Ada programming language, the first ISO
standardized object-oriented language.

A few weeks ago, the appended questionnaire on Ada-Belgium activities
has been distributed via e-mail and postal mail to our mailing lists,
and was posted in a few Usenet newsgroups.  Very shortly we will start
processing the results.

If you have some interest in our activities and/or any suggestions
to make, but didn't sent in a reply yet: now is the time to do it!
Please take a few minutes to provide us your feedback a.s.a.p.

Thanks in advance.

Dirk Craeynest

PS: See http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/~dirk/ada-belgium/events/local.html
for some of the events we organized in the previous years.

                Questionnaire on 'Ada-Belgium Activities'

                -----------------------------------------

As discussed during our last Ada-Belgium General Assembly, we decided
to organize a little survey about the nature of activities our members
would like the Association to undertake.  (Input from interested
non-members is welcome too.)  Of course, this doesn't constitute an
engagement of the Association to realize all your wishes in 1998!  ...
We also need to find some volunteers to help in organizing these
activities.

We would very much appreciate if you could spend a little time to check
your interests and/or provide us with your comments.

Therefore, could you please send back by e-mail (preferred), fax or mail
this questionnaire to
