See you there. If you had bothered to read my original posting, you would have noticed that I did indeed mention Ed Schonberg's talk, and one other that partially mentions Ada - which is why i used the phrase "virtually no Ada presence there". Though one talk out of fifty is statistically zero anyway. Further, if you read brochures, you probably got the brochure for the June Object World in San Francisco, where there are NO Ada talks, including Ed (probably because it would cost him his own money to goto San Francisco, and instead of his backyard of New York) and any other Mandated world so-called Ada cheerleaders. But I will save that diatribe for another posting. >[computer-generated drivel deleted] If the implications of the pathetic state of Ada outside the Mandated world on national security and the DoD's ability to develop software in an era of decreasing budgets is drivel, I stand (or sit) so informed.
