Call for Presentations
11th Ada Developer Room at FOSDEM 2022
Sunday 6 February 2022, Online, Everywhere
www.cs.kuleuven.be/~dirk/ada-belgium/events/22/220206-fosdem.html
Organized in cooperation with Ada-Belgium and Ada-Europe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Ada FOSDEM community is pleased to announce the 11th edition of
the Ada DevRoom! This time, however, it will take place online on
the 6th of February. This edition of the Ada DevRoom is organized in
cooperation with Ada-Belgium [1] and Ada-Europe [2].
General Information about FOSDEM
--------------------------------
FOSDEM [3], the Free and Open source Software Developers' European
Meeting, is a free and non-commercial two-day weekend event organized
early each year in Brussels, Belgium. This year, for obvious reasons,
it has been turned into an online event, just like last year. It is
highly developer-oriented and brings together 8000+ participants from
all over the world. No registration is necessary.
The goal is to provide open source developers and communities a
place to meet with other developers and projects, to be informed
about the latest developments in the open source world, to attend
interesting talks and presentations on various topics by open source
project leaders and committers, and to promote the development and
the benefits of open source solutions.
Ada Programming Language and Technology
---------------------------------------
Awareness of safety and security issues in software systems is
ever increasing. Multi-core platforms are now abundant. These are
some of the reasons that the Ada programming language and technology
attracts more and more attention, among others due to Ada's support for
programming by contract and for multi-core targets. The latest Ada
language definition was updated early 2016. Work on new features is
ongoing, such as improved support for fine-grained parallelism, and
will result in a new Ada standard scheduled for 2022. Ada-related
technology such as SPARK provides a solution for the safety and
security aspects stated above.
More and more tools are available, many are open source, including for
small and recent platforms. Interest in Ada keeps further increasing,
also in the open source community, from which many exciting projects
have been started.
Ada Developer Room
------------------
FOSDEM is an ideal fit for an Ada Developer Room. On the one hand,
it gives the general open source community an opportunity to see what
is happening in the Ada community and how Ada can help to produce
reliable and efficient open source software. On the other hand, it
gives open source Ada projects an opportunity to present themselves,
get feedback and ideas, and attract participants to their project
and collaboration between projects.
At previous FOSDEM events, the Ada-Belgium non-profit organization
organized successful Ada Developer Rooms, offering a full day program
in 2006 [4], a two-day program in 2009 [5], and full day programs
in 2012-2016 [6-10], and in 2018-2020 [11-13]. An important goal
is to present exciting Ada technology and projects, including people
outside the traditional Ada community. This edition is no different,
and since it will take place online, we hope to attract people from
all over the world.
Call for Presentations
----------------------
We would like to schedule technical presentations, tutorials, demos,
live performances, project status reports, discussions, etc, in the
Ada Developer Room.
Do you have a talk you want to give?
Do you have a project you would like to present?
Would you like to get more people involved with your project?
The Ada organizers call on you to:
- discuss and help organize the details, subscribe to the Ada-FOSDEM
mailing list [14];
- for bonus points, be a speaker: the Ada-FOSDEM mailing list is the
place to be!
- don't hesitate to propose a topic that you would like to present to
the community, we are eager to know what you have in store for us!
We're inviting proposals that are related to Ada software development,
and include a technical oriented discussion. You're not limited to
slide presentations, of course. Be creative. Propose something fun to
share with people so they might feel some of your enthusiasm for Ada!
Speaking slots should be 15 or 30 minutes, plus 5 or 10 minutes resp.
for Q&A, if the same schedule as last year is followed. However, this
schedule is flexible and can be modified for longer talks. For example,
a long technical talk can be transformed into a 45 minutes talk, plus
time for Q&A. Depending on interest, we might also have a session
with lightning presentations (e.g. 5 minutes each), and/or an informal
discussion session.
Note that all talks will be streamed live (audio+video) and should
be prerecorded. After the streaming of the talk, a live Q&A session
will take place. By submitting a proposal, you agree to being recorded
and streamed. You also agree that the contents of your talk will be
published under the same license as all FOSDEM content, a Creative
Commons (CC-BY) license.
Submission Guidelines
---------------------
Your proposal must be submitted to the FOSDEM Pentabarf system [15].
If you already had an account from previous years, please, reuse it.
If, for whatever reason, you cannot use Pentabarf, you can also
submit your proposal by messaging the Ada-FOSDEM mailing list [14].
If needed, feel free to contact us at the Ada-FOSDEM Mailing list or
at <irvise (at) irvise.xyz> (without spaces).
Please include:
- your name, affiliation, contact info;
- the title of your talk (be descriptive and creative);
- a short descriptive and attractive abstract;
- potentially pointers to more information;
- a short bio and photo.
See programs of previous Ada DevRooms (URLs below) for presentation
examples, as well as for the kind of info we need.
Here is the slightly flexible schedule that we will follow:
- December 26, 2021: end of the submission period. Remember, we only
need the information in the list above. You do not have to submit
the entire talk by this date. Try to submit your proposal as early
as possible. It is better to submit half of the details early than
all late, so do not wait for the last minute. If you are a bit late,
submit it to Pentabarf and message <irvise (at) irvise.xyz> directly.
- December 31, 2021 - January 2, 2022: announcement of accepted talks.
- January 15, 2022: your talk should be recorded and uploaded to the
Pentabarf platform.
- February 6, 2022: Ada-Devroom day!
We look forward to lots of feedback and proposals!
Regards,
The Ada-FOSDEM team

As Dirk recommended, I will submit a new message to this ML with the proposal that was sent to the FOSDEM team. I will use Dirk's Call for Papers message that was used in 2019 as the base for this year's CfP. Obviously I will tune it as necessary and as preferred ;) I hope to send a draft to this ML later today or tomorrow. [...] The preliminary date for the Ada-devroom is on Sunday. If you have issues with this date, please, tell me as soon as possible, as it can be changed. It is time to get to work.

To be more specific, this is the acknowledgement received from the FOSDEM infra. Regards, Fer --- Devroom Request for FOSDEM 2022 We acknowledge that we have received your request for the following devroom. After we review all devroom requests, we will inform you accordingly via email. Title: Ada Coordinator: Fernando Oleo Blanco Coordinator email: irvise@irvise.xyz Primary pentabarf id: Irvise Secondary contact: Ludovic Brenta Secondary email: ludovic@ludovic-brenta.org Secondary pentabarf ids: lbrenta Description: Ada is a general-purpose programming language originally designed for safety- and mission-critical software engineering. It is used extensively in air traffic control, rail transportation, aerospace, nuclear, financial services, medical devices, etc. It is also perfectly suited for open source development. Awareness of safety and security issues in software systems is increasing. Multi-core platforms are now abundant. These are some of the reasons that the Ada programming language and technology attracts more and more attention, among others due to Ada's support for programming by contract and for multi-core targets. The latest Ada language definition was updated early 2016. Work on new features is ongoing, such as improved support for fine-grained parallelism, and will result in a new Ada standard scheduled for 2022. Ada-related technology such as SPARK provides a solution for the safety and security aspects stated above. More and more tools are available, many are open source, including for small and recent platforms. Interest in Ada keeps increasing, also in the open source community, and many exciting projects have been started. The Ada DevRoom aims to present the facilities offered by the Ada language (such as for object-oriented, multicore, or embedded programming) as well as some of the many exciting tools and projects using Ada. Coordinator's affinity to the topic of the devroom: For the past couple years I have been trying to bring more awareness to Ada. Dirk, who was the Ada-devroom organiser for the past 15 years, would like to pass this role to another person, and I have taken that role for myself. Why does it fit FOSDEM: (see room description) Ada is one of the languages supported by GCC with a focus on correctness, maintainability and easy of use. It also comes with a sister language, SPARK, which focuses of formal proves and analysis. These topics are becoming more relevant as time passes. Which is why a lot of new languages, such as Rust or Zig, have been created and try to improve the state of software development. The tooling around Ada is very open and has seen a great deal of development in the past few years. Developers have also been creating new programs with it and FOSDEM would be a wonderful choice for them to present their work. And finally, Ada did not have its own devroom last year, and I would like to bring back and let the community meet once again [see relevant URLs].

Date: Wed, 3 Nov 2021 19:54:12 +0100 From: Dirk Craeynest <Dirk.Craeynest@cs.kuleuven.be> Subject: Ada at FOSDEM 2022? To: <ADAFOSDEM@LS.KULEUVEN.BE> Hello everyone, Here's some news about FOSDEM 2022 and about choices to be made soon by the Ada community. It's relatively long, please bear with me... FOSDEM recently announced [1] that the 2022 edition will take place on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 February 2022, and that it will once more be an online event. Yesterday the Call for DevRoom Proposals was posted [2], specifying a deadline of 15 November. Given that an online DevRoom requires a group of dedicated volunteers and a significant amount of work, we in the Ada community need to plan what we want to do for the FOSDEM 2022 edition, or more importantly *what we CAN do*! I see 3 options, requiring increasing numbers of volunteers and amounts of work: 1) the minimal option: we skip FOSDEM 2022, and return "in full force" for FOSDEM 2023 (which hopefully will be an in-person event again); 2) the pragmatic option: we repeat what was done for FOSDEM 2021, i.e. we do not submit a proposal for a dedicated Ada DevRoom, but we try to get Ada-related presentations in suitable DevRooms [3]; 3) the full option: we prepare and submit a proposal for a dedicated Ada DevRoom in 2022, which requires putting together a solid team of dedicated volunteers who commit to do the required work in between now and shortly after the event. When considering to propose a DevRoom for 2022 (full option 3), we need to keep in mind that FOSDEM mentioned last year [4]: "Devroom managers [...] will also be responsible for recruiting sufficient volunteers to work with the speakers to create pre-recordings during January and to carry out various new roles necessary to produce a smooth online event. We think a typical devroom will need to find a pool of at least ten volunteers this year." On the DevRoom Submission form this year [5]: "Please note that by applying for a devroom you are making a commitment to fill the schedule for your track, [...] Devroom coordinators must enter a complete schedule into our conference system by 31st December. It is particularly important to be available and to respond promptly to emails about the schedule for about a week either side of this date." and: "For an online edition we want to point out that a devroom can not be organised by one person alone. Especially during the event you will need at least 5 volunteers at hand to help out. It is the devroom manager responsibility to assemble this team. About those volunteers needed *during* the event just to manage the successive presentations, the same form last year mentioned: "[...] (one continuously monitoring the stream, one helping with the setup of the next speaker and one moderating the talks). [...]" On a personal note: I have been heavily involved with all proposals for Ada DevRooms since 2004, and in particular with the organization of our 10 Ada DevRooms in the past 15 years. With the continuation of the online format in 2022, now is a good time for others to take over the main responsibility, i.e. the role of "Ada DevRoom manager/coordinator" aka "primary contact" (ideally someone "independent"). This role has lots of (though not only) organizational and management aspects: putting together a team of committed volunteers, steering them in the coming 3.5 months, and keeping everyone's work on track. In other words: "driving" the whole thing. I remain available and willing to help with the organization, but more in a supporting role [...]. So, *IF* we want to propose a full online Ada DevRoom for FOSDEM 2022 (option 3), we need to find in the *very near future*: - a reliable candidate with time and energy, who commits to be the "Ada DevRoom manager / coordinator", i.e. the *primary responsible* and contact person vs. FOSDEM; - AND a sufficient number (5-10) of *dedicated* volunteers who commit to invest time and effort in the various roles (among others those mentioned above). Otherwise, only options 1 or 2 remain. In that case, and considering that the Ada-Europe conference will come to Belgium 4 months later anyway, option 2 might be the best (pragmatic) compromise: it permits the Ada community to focus on providing presentations for FOSDEM 2022, without the burden of all the organizational and logistic issues, and then to work later for a comeback at FOSDEM 2023. To conclude. Please react on this list with comments, ideas, suggestions, proposals, etc. Please react *especially* if you want to *commit* to (some of) the work, and specify mention the roles you are are interested in. If you'd like to have more information, feel free to get in touch with me directly, but please note my availability is currently limited.
