[SIGCIS-Members] History at "Computing Conversations"

[William McMillan]

Greetings, SIGCIS members.

I'm not sure how many on this list are aware of the historical content
presented by the University of Michigan's Charles Severance in his
"Computing Conversations" for IEEE's *Computer* magazine and web site:

http://www.computer.org/portal/web/computingnow/computing-conversations

Severance frequently includes historical content, even for relatively
modern technologies.  At the above site you'll find a link to a very well
done video on Bletchley Park and some other topics that might be of
interest.

His column in the November *Computer* on the origins of PHP seems not to be
linked yet on the site above, but can be read or heard at:

Nothing Earth-shaking about these presentations, but I find it interesting
to see how history is presented to practicing computing professionals and
what they seem to be interested in.
