The March 2024 Meetup just finished! Thanks to everybody who participated.
Quite a few topics were discussed, here is a list of topics and references to them:
- WolfSSL and its Ada binding
     - [Announcement](https://www.wolfssl.com/announcing-ada-binding-to-the-wolfssl-library/)
     - [Initial commit, SPARK included!](https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/6605)
     - [Build as a library, PR currently open](https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/pull/7303)
     - WolfSSL created the binding to "create" demand. The Ada community can help raise awareness of these tools and create a symbiotic relationship with companies and people invested in Ada.
- [FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/2024/)
- [Ada Developer Workshop](http://www.ada-europe.org/conference2024/adadev.html) taking place in Barcelona the 14th of June.
    - The (current) submission deadline for presentations is the 31st of March!
    - Online participation is expected. We will try and have a setup to let people participate online!
    - It was created in order to let the wider Ada community have a home to meet and talk about Ada. This is a "response" to the lack of an Ada DevRoom @ FOSDEM the past couple of years.
- [Alire v2.0 is around the corner](https://forum.ada-lang.io/t/ada-monthly-meeting/384/30)
     - Help test the new [Release Candidate 1](https://github.com/alire-project/alire/releases)
     - Mac M1 (ARM64) support is in the works. Thanks Simon and Maxim!
- There is now a list of [projects to work on](https://ada-lang.io/docs/projects-to-work-on/) in the main Ada-Lang webpage.
     - It focuses of projects that would help the wider Ada community.
- [Ada support for org-mode code blocks (babel) is now going to be part of the official org-mode distribution of Emacs!](https://list.orgmode.org/orgmode/87cyskn7xa.fsf@localhost/T/#mb5774149b4b90712e4bccc0f936ebbbbe138e065)
     - Thanks Francesc for the work!
- The [NSA published a list of memory safe languages](https://www.cisa.gov/sites/default/files/2023-12/The-Case-for-Memory-Safe-Roadmaps-508c.pdf)
    - Ada was not mentioned in the list of programming languages. Nonetheless Ada/SPARK are listed in the references.
    - Ada needs better visibility and "marketing".
- The GCC 14's Ada changelog section is on its way, stay tuned!
See you in one month (more or less)! Regards,
Fer
