In recent weeks/months, there's been an influx of newcomers to
comp.lang.ada.

First, welcome to the world of Ada. I hope you find the language
interesting and useful.

Second, how did you end up here ? :-)

The reason for asking is I'm wondering if there are some new Ada related
activities online which have grabbed the attention of people and made
them interested in learning Ada.

There's historically been a major problem with promoting Ada and I'm
now wondering if someone has succeeded in promoting Ada and we don't
even know about it. :-)

Thanks,

Simon.
