Yes, fellow Ada zealots and skeptics - you asked for it; you can get it! Wednesday night, 25 October, on stage at the David Lawrence Convention Centre in Pittsburgh PA, we will be presenting an encore presentation of Ada Follies! The show is newer and better than ever - and may even have a few surprises for you! There is no charge for attending this wonderful, one-time event. And, yes, also by popular demand, we will be TAPING THE SHOW! (But it is ever-so-much-more fun when viewed LIVE!) The following is the "official" Press Release for the show. This year, the Follies will take advantage of it being Ada's 10-year anniversary, with the theme of "That was the Decade that Was!" As some of us remember, 1979 was the notable year when the name "Ada" was selected as the name for the DoD standard programming language; it was the year that Green was designated the winner of the language design competition; it was the year that the ACVC effort started; it was the year that was! Our show will be graced with cameo appearances by many of the original players in the policy and implementation fields, as well as the usual talented crew of players. There will be new skits, new commercials, new songs - so be sure to come and enjoy the show! This show will be presented as an adjunct to the TRI-Ada '89 Conference and Exhibition to be held all during that week (announcements about which have already appeared on this bulletin board).
