The world-renowned Ada-Belgium International Spring Event once again
attracted a crowd; this year, 12 persons were present and another 2
expressed interest but could not attend. The Beaujolais Effect was
demonstrated once again. The Debian packaging workshop attracted
unprecedented audience of 5 enthusiastic people (not including
myself), some of whom actually came prepared with questions and Debian
already installed on their machines.
All in all it was a very pleasant event; Lady Ada smiled upon us from
the heavens and granted us excellent weather. I look forward to next
time.
There were 10 people present last year, 2 of whom also attended the
Debian packaging workshop. So, the interest in Ada grew 20% year over
year and the interest in "Ada in Debian" grew 150% year over year. Not
bad for a "dying" language.
