<p class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>SHOT gets underway tomorrow evening in beautiful Pittsburgh.
You’ve been seeing a number of emails over the past few months from Jeff
Tang and Joe November, who have been doing a great job keeping things on track.
Below is a summary of the SIGCIS events planned for the conference, including
our very first SIGCIS Workshop (“Michael Mahoney and the Histories of
Computing(s)”) and the presentation of our Computer History Museum book
prize. There’s also a separate summary of non-SIGCIS panels relevant to
the history of computing. It’s shaping up as another record breaking SHOT
in terms of the volume and quality of history of computing activity.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>But first, some reminders:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>1.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>If you are coming to the SIG Lunch on Friday and/or to
the SIGCIS Workshop on Sunday, please send Jeff Tang (<a
href="mailto:secretary@sigcis.org">secretary@sigcis.org</a>) an updated little
biography for inclusion in the conference packet. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='mso-list:Ignore'>2.<span style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span><![endif]>If you are attending the SIGCIS Workshop on Sunday and still
did not yet let Jeff Tang know that you are coming, please email him (<a
href="mailto:secretary@sigcis.org">secretary@sigcis.org</a>). If you are not
registered for SHOT itself you will need to buy a $30 one day registration on
the door on Sunday. If you are registered for SHOT there is no additional
charge.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l10 level1 lfo1'><![if !supportLists]><span

</span></span><![endif]>The <b>workshop program features two sessions (one
works in progress, one dissertations) with PRECIRCULATED papers</b>. These
sessions are at the same time, so please pick one then read and bring with you
the drafts shared by participants to enable informed discussion. Find them
online at <a href="http://www.sigcis.org/?q=workshop09c">http://www.sigcis.org/?q=workshop09c</a>.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b>Also a NEWSFLASH regarding food at the workshop on Sunday:<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If you are attending the workshop, we’ve made our
choices for Lunch and Dinner. These are paid directly to the restaurant. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoListParagraph style='text-indent:-.25in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'><![if !supportLists]><span
style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span></span><![endif]>Lunch: Primanti Brothers. A local institution
and sandwich shop, with an extensive seating capacity. Varied menu, which
should have something to suit everyone who can eat bread or doesn’t mind
salad. <a href="http://www.primantibros.com/menu/city/marketsquare/">http://www.primantibros.com/menu/city/marketsquare/</a>
Also very affordable. Just around the corner from the hotel.<o:p></o:p></p>

style='font-family:Symbol'><span style='mso-list:Ignore'>·<span
style='font:7.0pt "Times New Roman"'>
</span></span></span><![endif]>Dinner: We are making the journey (20 mins walk
or very short taxi) over the bridge to the beautiful post-industrial Station
Square development. <a href="http://www.stationsquare.com/">http://www.stationsquare.com/</a>
There’s a great view and bits of old technology lying around. The
reservation is for 7pm at Buca di Beppo <a href="http://www.bucadibeppo.com/">http://www.bucadibeppo.com/</a>
which is a mid priced chain Italian restaurant specializing in large dishes
intended for sharing. It is a nice area for a drink afterwards if anyone wants
one. This choice is actually very appropriate for our conference theme, as Mike
Mahoney had suggested this chain for our dinner in Minneapolis a few years ago
but it was too full to accept our reservation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Lunch will be informal. For dinner, we could do with a final
number to make sure that everyone has a seat. So please update Jeff if you
would now like to join us for dinner on Sunday or if there is any other shift
in your previously stated dinner status (No > Yes, Yes >No, Maybe >
Yes, etc). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Looking forward to seeing you there.<o:p></o:p></p>
