<p class=BmNormal>The board of directors of the IT History Society is pleased
to announce the latest addition to its website. The new entry is entitled
the IT Honor Roll, a listing of <u>living</u> individuals that have made <u>noteworthy
contributions</u> to the information technology industry.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=BmNormal>Please review the initial Honor Roll at <a
href="http://ithistory.org/honor_roll/honor-roll.php">http://ithistory.org/honor_roll/honor-roll.php</a>.
The seeded listing of about 100 individuals which can be sorted by alphabetical
order or by two categories, a creator of history or a chronicler of
history. We are asking you and your fellow professionals to submit
nominations of honorees by using the online form at <a
href="http://ithistory.org/honor_roll/fame-form.php">http://ithistory.org/honor_roll/fame-form.php</a>.
We do feel that that the list should exceed 100s of entries in a short period
of time. If need be that you have several nominations and are short of
time, you can email nominations to <a href="mailto:info@ithistory.org">info@ithistory.org</a>.
The IT Honor Roll is intended to be a community effort of IT peers,
historians, and archivist. It is not the intent of the IT History Society
to create a list of honorees but only to collect them from the profession
suggested nominees and host the results. The initial listing is a
collection of honorees by some members in the interest in getting the list
started. We do expect the list to rapidly grow by IT community nominations.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=BmNormal>Please take note that the IT Honor Roll is for living
individuals. For individuals that have made a <u>noteworthy contribution</u>
to the information technology industry and that have <u>passed on</u> please
visit a section on the website entitled <b>In Memoriam </b>located at <a
href="http://www.ithistory.org/memoriam/memoriam.php">http://www.ithistory.org/memoriam/memoriam.php</a>
and to nominate entries please us the online form located at <a
href="http://www.ithistory.org/memoriam/memoriam-form.php">http://www.ithistory.org/memoriam/memoriam-form.php</a>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=BmNormal>The current seeded list is sort of American centric and we
would hope our fellow non US professionals will be able to nominate more
honorees to the IT Honor Roll so the honor roll will be truly
international. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=BmNormal>Once a suggested nominee is entered, the IT Honor Roll
Committee, we appreciate their time in doing this, will review each
entry. The committee consists of –<o:p></o:p></p>
