I'm glad to hear that.

Just one: they're really good.  I bought all issues of GMLF where they
appear, except for Jan and Feb 2007 because I couldn't find them in
Brussels.  Keep up the good work!

At a local GNU/Linux copy party, I once introduced Ada to two students
in CS, and noted that "unfortunately Ada is not a fashionable
language".  One of the students said: "oh yes, it is fashionable, what
with all these articles in GNU/Linux Magazine France!"

I hope you find more to say about Ada in future articles.  It seems
you've now covered pretty much everything about the language, but
maybe (just a suggestion) you might like to extend the series with Toy
Lovelace, Qt4Ada or GtkAda?
