[SIGCIS-Members] History of Nordic Computing - 2nd Call for Contributions

[James Cortada]

I think Per's call for papers to this conference is something we should
take very seriously.  I have--and will be at the conference.  The reason
why this one is so important is that we are now at an inflection point in
European history of ICT where the whole subject is taking off with momentum
after a long period of slow start, and it is very exciting.  It is a
special moment in time when the Americans can influence the dialogue and
learn what is happening in Europe while the Europeans can get a good sense
of the issues we are addressing in our current research.  Inflection points
in a subject area only come around rarely, and for European ICT
historiography this is probably the one that we are going to look back on
and say things changed as a result.  The themes for this year's conference
reflect the maturing nature of European, and indeed global, ICT
historiography.?

I recognize that many of you may be teaching that week and the thought of
going to Northern Europe in October might seem daunting--it is not winter
yet--but see if you can find a way.  There is one other benefit:  you are
going to be pleasantly surprised to learn what the Swedes as a nation have
quietly been doing to preserve and understand their ICT history--with
lessons for all of us in various countries, including the US, but also
relevant for Eastern Europe, Latin America, and East Asia.
