For the sixth year in a row, Ada-Belgium decided to organize their "Spring Event", which starts at noon, runs until 7pm, and includes an informal barbecue, a key signing party, the 20th General Assembly of the organization, and a round-table discussion on Ada-related topics the participants would like to bring up. Afterwards, those interested can once more get practical hands-on experience on packaging Ada software for Debian with Ludovic Brenta, principal maintainer of Ada in Debian. Schedule -------- * 12:00 welcome and getting started (please be there!) * 12:15 informal barbecue * 14:45 key signing party * 15:00 Ada-Belgium General Assembly * 16:00 Ada round-table + informal discussions * 19:00 end Participation ------------- Everyone interested (members and non-members alike) is welcome at any or all parts of this event. For practical reasons registration is required. If you would like to attend, please send an email before Wednesday, June 26, 21:00, to Dirk Craeynest with the subject "Ada-Belgium Spring 2013 Event", so you can get precise directions to the place of the meeting. Even if you already responded to the preliminary announcement, please reconfirm your participation ASAP. If you are interested to become a new member, please register by filling out the 2013 membership application form[1] and by paying the appropriate fee before the General Assembly. After payment you will receive a receipt from our treasurer and you are considered a member of the organization for the year 2013 with all member benefits[2]. Early renewal ensures you receive the full Ada-Belgium membership benefits (including the Ada-Europe indirect membership benefits package). As mentioned at earlier occasions, we have a limited stock of documentation sets and Ada related CD-ROMs that were distributed at previous events, as well as back issues of the Ada User Journal[3]. These will be available on a first-come first-serve basis at the General Assembly for current and new members. Ada-Belgium sponsor AdaCore provided us some Ada books, and we'll organize a small raffle to hand them out to interested members.

Non-members who want to participate at the barbecue are also welcome: they can choose to join the organization or pay the sum of 15 Euros per person to the Treasurer of the organization. Note: if spring would still not have arrived yet in Belgium at this (theoretical) summer day (read: if heavy rain is expected), the barbecue might be replaced with an alternative; but rest assured: food and drinks will be available! General Assembly ---------------- All Ada-Belgium members have a vote at the General Assembly, can add items to the agenda, and can be a candidate for a position on the Board[4]. See the separate official convocation[5] for all details.

To make that dream come true, please join and expand the global Web of Trust[6]! What you should bring with you: * an official ID card issued by your national government; * your GPG key fingerprint (i.e. the output of gpg --fingerprint) on small paper slips; a dozen copies or so should be enough. What you will go home with: * signatures from all other participants; * automatic inclusion in the global Web of Trust; * the ability to digitally sign or encrypt anything you like. [6] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_of_Trust Ada Round-Table Discussion -------------------------- This year, we plan to keep the technical part of the Spring event informal as well. We will have a round-table discussion on Ada-related topics the participants would like to bring up. We invite everyone to briefly mention how they are using Ada in their work or non-work environment, and/or what kind of Ada-related activities they would like to embark on. We hope this might spark some concrete ideas for new activities and collaborations. Afterwards, those interested can get practical information and hands-on experience on "Packaging Ada Software for Debian"[7][8]. See the event's web page for more info. [7] http://www.debian.org/ [8] http://people.debian.org/~lbrenta/debian-ada-policy.html Directions ---------- To permit this more interactive and social format, the event takes place at private premises in Leuven. As instructed above, please inform us by e-mail if you would like to attend, and we'll provide you precise directions to the place of the meeting. Obviously, the number of participants we can accommodate is not unlimited, so don't delay... Looking forward to meet many of you!
