Hi all!

We just finished the Ada Monthly Meetup and here are the topics that were discussed:

- The recording of the presentations given during the [Ada Developers Workshop](https://www.ada-europe.org/conference2024/adadev.html) with their slides are now available
- Stemming from (@jgrivera67) J. German Rivera’s talk about HiRTOS and him working the [Renode hardware emulation tool](https://renode.io/), @ohenley did a [nice article about getting started with Renode and Ada programs](https://blog.adacore.com/getting-started-with-renode-simulating-an-ada-stm32f429disco-blinky-firmware)! Check it out!
  - And actually, since the last stable version of Renode, [v1.15.2](https://github.com/renode/renode/releases/tag/v1.15.2), released 3 weeks ago, there is a built-in demo/example of [HiRTOS](https://github.com/jgrivera67/HiRTOS)!

- @simonjwright created a PR for [SVD2Ada](https://github.com/AdaCore/svd2ada) for it to support [dimensioned register ports](https://github.com/AdaCore/svd2ada/pull/108)!
- @Max has been working on creating [an Ada toolchain for the XTENSA architecture](https://forum.ada-lang.io/t/ada-for-xtensa-esp32-lx6-lx7-draft/1132). It is now officially part of Alire! Check the forum post for more info.
- A reminder that the [Ada Crate of the Year Award](https://blog.adacore.com/announcing-the-2024-ada-spark-crate-of-the-year-award) is still taking place!
- We had a discussion on whether there should be a proposal for an Ada Devroom for next year’s [FOSDEM](https://fosdem.org/).
  - There will be a forum thread about this topic “shortly”.

- With the “demise” of [SIGAda](https://www.sigada.org/), the proposal of the creation of the Ada Users Society is moving along, which was approved in the General Assembly (GA) of [Ada-Europe](https://www.ada-europe.org/) this past month of June.
  - The [next GA of Ada-Europe](https://www.ada-europe.org/) will be taking place in a couple of weeks, the next 26th of September. Remember to ask for the meetup link if you would like to join!
  - We had a couple of discussions during the meetup and afterwards regarding some doubts and timeline/availability of the new Ada Users Society.

- A complete working [Alire manifest has been created for the WolfSSL library](https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/tree/master/wrapper/Ada).
  - Though it is not in Alire’s index! It still needs some work, but you can already start using it!

- @stcarrez and @Max have been working on [Ada-Enet](https://github.com/stcarrez/ada-enet), an embedded network stack written in Ada.
  - It is [now available in Alire](https://alire.ada.dev/crates/enet) and it has a few STM32 drivers already!

- @Max also has an [ethernet stack](https://github.com/reznikmm/ethernet) written in Ada, which has [also been added ot Alire](https://alire.ada.dev/crates/ethernet)
- @simonjwright updated us on the state (and struggles) of the [Ada support on the newly released RP 2350 CPU](https://forum.ada-lang.io/t/raspberry-pi-rp2350/1062/10).
  - Progress is good and small examples are already running on the chip. Interrupts are still a problem to be solved 🙂

- @AJ-Ianozi reminded us about the latest [Yet Another Static Site (Generator)](http://www.yass.website/) and its features, which recently had [its 3.1.0 release](https://forum.ada-lang.io/t/yass-static-site-generator-3-1-0-released-now-in-alire/1122)

That is all that was discussed today!

I forgot to mention the release/update of the toolchains available in Alire (GCC 14 and GNATProve 24) and the new features of GNATProve. So those topics will go to October’s meetup.
