Hi Didier,

Would you be able to give a presentation of Ada at the December 2024
online GoLUG meeting? It's 7PM Eastern Time (probably standard time by
then) on the first Wednesday in December. We're on a run of having a
lot of interesting presentations.

Also wanted: Somebody to give a presentation on Rust.

Thanks,

SteveT
