The Ada Resource Association (ARA) is a non-profit organization whose charter includes sustaining and promoting the Ada programming language.
Support for these activities comes from the sponsorship funds that the ARA receives, and organizations that participate in the Ada community in any capacity are encouraged to sign up as sponsors at a level that reflects their needs and interests. A schedule of fees appears below.
A major benefit of ARA sponsorship is the exposure it provides through links on the pages of the AdaIC website, which attracts a large amount of traffic on Ada-related topics via Google and other search engines. The website serves as a main portal for the Ada community and features a modern look-and-feel that takes advantage of current technology (RSS feeds, blogs, etc.).
If you or your organization provide Ada products/services or use Ada technology, then signing up as an ARA sponsor will help support the orderly evolution of the Ada language. And more directly, the AdaIC website will bring you a tangible benefit: a new and effective channel for making your customers and prospects aware of your Ada-related offerings and activities.
To sign up as a sponsor, or for more information, please contact Ben Brosgol, ARA President, at ara-president@adaic.com.
Sponsorship at all levels is open to organizations — companies, agencies, professional societies, educational institutions — and individuals
