Hi all!

Here are the minutes of the meeting (markdown formatted) :)

=====================================================================

We just finished this Monthly Meetup. Here are the topics that were covered:

- SPARK/GNAT 14, released this summer, gained the support for `Exceptional_Cases` contract. This allows for formal proves of exception handling and exceptions going up the stack! As some of you may know,
this was one of SPARK's weaker points, but not any more! If you would
like to know more about this, go to the [GNATprove documentation](https://docs.adacore.com/spark2014-docs/html/ug/en/source/subprogram_contracts.html#exceptional-contracts).
- The [Ada Discord community](https://discord.gg/edM2czVKN4) is at 99
members! Maybe you could be the 100th one :smiley:
- @AJ-Ianozi gave a presentation on [YASS](https://www.yass.website/), a Yet-Another-Static-Site generator, which is written in Ada!
- @Max presented his work on translating [Learn.AdaCore](https://learn.adacore.com/) to the Ukranian language!
His work can be seen in the
[Ada-Ukraine](https://ada-ukraine.github.io/) site. They have already
over 50 pages worth of content translated!
- We will submit a full day DevRoom request for [FOSDEM 2025](https://fosdem.org/2025/).
- [Ada-Auth](http://www.ada-auth.org/index.html) and [Adaic](https://www.adaic.org/) are back online!
- Though [AdaForge](https://www.adaforge.org/), maintained by @captain-haddock17, never went down, so the Reference Manual was always available there, as well as many other resources!
- [Ada-Lang](https://ada-lang.io/) also maintains a copy of the RM!
- Some initial work has started happening in order to enable the [CHERI](https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/security/ctsrd/cheri/)
architecture in [GNAT (Pro)](https://www.adacore.com/papers/elevate-security-confidence-with-memory-safe-hardware-and-software).
