I suggest Richard Conn can answer this - Richard was a long-time Ada
(and SPARK...) user at Lockheed Marietta.  He now works for
Microsoft.  He's local arrangements chair for SIGAda, so I guess
he's behind this...

The key-note speakers for SIGAda are also impressive - Pam Thompson is
a Director at Lockheed Aeronautical, and Watts Humphrey should need
no introduction - he's the guy behind the PSP and TSP initiatives
at the SEI.  Interestingly, see the latest "Watts New" column on
the SEI's site:

 http://www.sei.cmu.edu/news-at-sei/columns/watts_new/watts-new.htm

This may give us some idea as to what his key-note will cover.  I'm looking
forward to the next installment of it!

 - Rod, SPARK Team
