Survey forms are currently available and all in the Ada community are encouraged to contribute. Although the survey is primarily focused on the UK, others are invited to contribute. The survey results will be presented at the Ada UK User Group Autumn conference, being held in conjunction with the Embedded Systems Club on October 29th 2002 in Swindon (UK). They will form the foundation for a "birds-of-a-feather" session which will bring together those with an interest in this area for discussion and debate. This is an area which is a cause for concern to the Ada community. Your contribution to the survey and debate is encouraged. You do not have to attend the conference in order to contribute, but obviously we would be delighted to welcome you to the live session. Survey forms are available from the conference organisers at Adaxia Ltd (email: Hazel@Adaxia.com). Best regards John Robinson, John Robinson And Associates Ltd (Conference Director)
