Sustainable Developmenttoward FLOSS community

● Measure energy spent in software activities● Waste of energy reduction policies● Use of efficient technology, tools &

processes roadmaps

How much Energy to build/maintain/recycle:– a car ?– a software component ?

Ada can help

● Ada is Libre Technology

● Ada helps FLOSS applications going safe and secure

● Ada lowers the energy to maintain FLOSS applications

● Ada suites lot's of FLOSS applications areas

● Ada suites multi language and multi platform environment

● Improve democracy on libre project's

Ada can help

● One of the richest language semantic

● Strong typing

● Static typing

● Object oriented programming

● Exception handling

● Aspect programming

● Formal methods(using SPARK Ada)

● Real-time & multi-tasking

● Distributed computing

● Interfacing to other languages

● Genericity

● Enhanced package visibility

● Standard library services

● Portability

● Static reflexion (using ASIS)

● Composition, Extension,

Abstraction

Ada is an attractive technology that provides:

GNU Go Ada proposition

● Design and Maintain an Ada Linux Kernel Module

● Ada scheduler framework à la Apple Grand Central Dispatch

● SPARK/Ada

● Web

● OS

● µkernel (Hurd, L4, Ada specific)

● Killer App's

● Create a Libre Software Engineering Energy

Indicator & platform (à la ohloh)

● Federate efforts

● Work together

● Pedagogic

● Fashion

That's all folks
