[mariann unterluggauer]

dear all,
some sad news from europe: hubert zimmermann died on november  9th from leukaemia. he joint the team of cyclades 1972,  was member of IFIP WG 6.1 and chaired the OSI architecture committee, who defined the OSI reference model. he received the sigcomm award 1991.

i had the chance to meet and talk with hubert zimmermann in july 2005. in memoriam, i did a  short  radio play, in which he tells how he came to networking in 1966, why he didn't leave paris in 1972,  his time at ISO, and why a stronger support of the TCP/IP community at ISO might have made a difference in the late 1970s, early 1980s ...
