[SIGCIS-Members] SIGCIS 2011 Workshop schedule online, chairs and commentators needed

[Marie Hicks]

Folks,

An update on chairs and commentators for the SIGCIS workshop at SHOT.
Only one more commentator and 2 more chairs are needed:

1) Creating Culture through Materials and Methods (10:45-12:15)
Commentator: Alex Bochannek
Chair: Perhaps you?
   * "Preserving the Material Culture of Computing Communities,"
Peggy Kidwell, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian
Institution
   * "Macromodules, Miniaturization, and the CPU's Brief Removal from
the Black Box," Joseph November, University of South Carolina
   * "Before the Web, there was the NABU Network," Zbigniew
Stachnaik, York University, Toronto

2) Insider and Outsider Communities in the History of Computing (2:15-3:45)
Needs both a chair and a commentator--this promises to be a terrific panel.
   * "Big Red, White, and Blue: Communities of Policy and Computing
in Mainframe-era Washington, DC," Andrew Meade McGee, University of
Virgina
   * "Computing, Video, and Radical Software," Peter Sachs Collopy,
University of Pennsylvania
   * "Punched Card Table Libraries as a Communal Resource," Allan
Olley, University of Toronto

If anyone's been thinking of volunteering, now's the time to jump in!

Best,

Marie
