[SIGCIS-Members] Panel on "object-oriented history of technology" for SHOT?

[Brian Berg]

Please note that the "Object-Oriented Programming: 1961-1967" IEEE Milestone
<http://ethw.org/Milestones:Object-oriented_programming> was dedicated on
27 September 2017 in Oslo, Norway.  Its citation reads:


*Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard created the Simula programming
languages in the 1960s at the Norwegian Computer Center. They introduced a
new way of modeling and simulating complex tasks. Object-oriented
programming is now dominant in systems development. It is an integral part
of computer science curricula, as are languages built on object-oriented
programming concepts, such as Smalltalk, C++, Java, and Python.*

In addition, one of the three Computer History Museum 2018 Fellows is Guido
Van Rossum
<http://www.computerhistory.org/fellowawards/hall/guido-van-rossum>, "for
the creation and evolution of the Python programming language and for
leadership of its community."
