[Bo I. Sanden]

A reference I made in an earlier post (in the thread "Question about the
need for requeue ...") has prompted some email questions about the Ada
User Journal. Its existence seems to be a well guarded secret at least in
the US. 

It is a refereed journal, published by Ada Language UK Ltd. There are 4 
issues per year. They give the following address for mail orders and 
enquiries:

Ada Language UK Ltd.
PO Box 322
York, YO1 3HL
England

It seems as if GI (Gesellschaft f�r Informatik) membership is a
requirement if you want to join Ada Europe as a German citizen.

Is there a workaround?  I don't particularly like the way GI opposes
an open society and free software.

Don't know where you saw that. For me it looks like you have to be a member
of Ada-Deutschland (http://ada-deutschland.de). Have I missed something?

Well, I would not like to be a member of a of an organisation which oposes
an open society and free software, too.

Ada Deutschland is just a working group within GI, AFAICS.

 From http://ada-deutschland.de/foerder/foerder.html:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Der F�rderverein Ada Deutschland e.V.

     * wurde am 15. Juli 1998 in Karlsruhe gegr�ndet,
     * verfolgt ausschlie�lich und unmittelbar gemeinn�tzige Zwecke und 
ist daher steuerbeg�nstigt,
     * unterst�tzt die Ziele der Fachgruppe 2.1.5 Ada der Gesellschaft 
f�r Informatik und arbeitet eng mit dieser zusammen,
     * steht allen Organisationen und Personen offen, die sich mit den 
Zielen des Vereins identifizieren,
     * finanziert sich bis auf weiteres nur durch Spenden und 
freiwillige Mitgliedsbeitr�ge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So it seems to be independent (especially money-wise), but does support 
the Ada subgroup of the GI (not necessarily the GI as a whole).

And actually the contact address given on the Ada-Europe website is not 
a GI-address, but an Aonix one. :-)

Thanks.  I was misled because the only page that offered some kind of
membership I discovered on the site was a GI mailing list.
