The Free and Open-Source Developers' Meeting (FOSDEM) is an annual
event held in Brussels, Belgium, in February. The 2006 edition will
take place on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th of February, 2006.
Ada-Belgium has organized a series of presentations related to Ada, to
be held in a dedicated developers' room, all day Sunday. Here is the
program:
10:00 - 11:00 Jean-Pierre Rosen: Introduction to Ada
Jean-Pierre will put his well-known talent to good use, introducing
Ada to beginning or experienced programmers alike.
11:00 - 12:00 Jean-Pierre Rosen: Adacontrol
Adacontrol is a tool that analyses Ada source text and verifies
compliance with coding rules and guidelines. Adacontrol is Free
Software written under contract with Eurocontrol, and takes advantage
of ASIS, the standard interface that allows Ada programs to analyze
Ada source text. Jean-Pierre will introduce Adacontrol, ASIS, and
the business model that allows one to make a living writing Free
Software.
12:00 - 13:00 Philippe Waroquiers: Use of Free Software in European
Air Traffic Flow Management
Philippe Waroquiers leads software development of the ETFMS system at
Eurocontrol, the European air traffic control agency with 34 member
states. Software on which millions of travelers' lives each year
depend is written in Ada using AdaCore's Free Software Ada compiler,
GNAT Pro.
13:00 - 14:00 lunch break
14:00 - 15:00 Ludovic Brenta: Ada in Debian
Ludovic Brenta will explain his work as the main maintainer of Ada in
Debian, and the policy that unites all Ada packages, thereby making
Debian the best free Ada development platform in the world :) This
will be an excellent opportunity for a tour of existing Free Software
projects developed in Ada.
15:00 - 16:00 Robert Dewar, AdaCore: Ada Academic Initiative
AdaCore is the company that offers technical support and consulting
services around GNAT Pro, the professional version of the GNU
project's Free Software Ada compiler. AdaCore is also the main
developer of GNAT. The Ada Academic Initiative aims to encourage
universities and other education institutions worldwide to use and
teach Ada, by offering a broad range of services at no cost to
professors and students. If possible, AdaCore will demonstrate the
latest GNAT Programming Studio available with the GNAT GPL 2005
Edition.
16:00 - 17:00 Thomas Quinot, AdaCore: The PolyORB schizophrenic
middleware
An example of fruitful collaboration between academia and industry,
PolyORB allows heterogeneous software components to communicate with
one another by bridging various middleware technologies such as
CORBA, MOM and the Ada Distributed Systems Annex (annex E).
All presentations will be in English, but most speakers also speak
French. You may ask questions on comp.lang.ada, fr.comp.lang.ada, or
join the AdaFOSDEM mailing list (in English). Attendance to FOSDEM is
free, and no registration is necessary.
