As I understand the rules of the "Make with Ada" competition (https://www.hackster.io/contests/adacore/rules#requirements) they do not explicitly require a public document or description that is focussed on the SW and/or on the Ada language. They require some properties and content of the _submission_. The project should be submitted through the "hackster.io" site. The IP conditions grant rights only to the Organizer and the Panelists, not to the general public. The "openness" of the project is (only) one of the judging criteria. However, I too am surprised that this project was given first prize with such a small amount of code. > The 3rd winner was implemented mostly in Python according to the > project description, According to the description of that project, Python was used only to display the acquired data, transmitted from the microcontroller over a serial interface to a Raspberry Pi. The data acquisition and the neural network on the microcontroller were implemented in Ada. It seems to me that this is an acceptable level of Python contamination. > and the Ada code is not available (actually no > code whatsoever). See above re openness and IP conditions. Moreover, it seems that the code is indeed now on gitlab (https://gitlab.com/Angelgzgc/neuralhearthmonitor/tree/master). -- Niklas Holsti Tidorum Ltd niklas holsti tidorum fi . @ .
