Re: A personal view of SigAda

Sounds disappointing. As a member, I'd like to see SIGAda find a healthier
direction. Some of that is dependent on Ada becoming a healthier language.
Some of it may have to come from SIGAda finding a way to be more relevant to
the community & computing in general. Don't know what the answer is, but I
do know that without corporate support, its hard for even interested members
to do much for the SIG, much less draw in new members. No way to get the
corporate support unless the corporations think they've got something to
gain by supporting it. No way to do that unless corporations are expanding
their use of Ada.
