<div dir="ltr">Wonderful news all around. Here is one more recent reference...<br><br>During the Critical Code Studies Working Group (CCSWG18) last January, Judy Malloy hosted a discussion about Margaret Hamilton's role in the development of in-flight software for the Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC). Malloy also led a "code critique" of the COLOSSUS 2A source code with a focus on Hamilton's contributions.<br><br>The discussion threads are archived and available to the public. I recommend taking a peek at Malloy's posts at the top of the threads for some orientation to the project:<br>- "Week 1: Gendering the Apollo 11 Onboard In-Flight Software", <a href="http://wg18.criticalcodestudies.com/index.php?p=/discussion/17/week-1-gendering-the-apollo-11-onboard-in-flight-software">http://wg18.criticalcodestudies.com/index.php?p=/discussion/17/week-1-gendering-the-apollo-11-onboard-in-flight-software</a><br>- "Week 1: COLOSSUS and LUMINARY: The Apollo 11 Guidance Computer (AGC) Code", <a href="http://wg18.criticalcodestudies.com/index.php?p=/discussion/18/week-1-colossus-and-luminary-the-apollo-11-guidance-computer-agc-code">http://wg18.criticalcodestudies.com/index.php?p=/discussion/18/week-1-colossus-and-luminary-the-apollo-11-guidance-computer-agc-code</a><br><br>As a participant, this was an exciting, challenging event. It's hard to know where to begin with artifacts like these--collectively authored, idiosyncratic programs written for an unusual computing platform--and I learned a lot from reading the questions and connections that others were drawing out of the materials.<br><br>One of the key outcomes of the week's work was identifying several other women who also wrote code for the AGC. There is quite of lot of vital historical work to be done here!<br><br>Blast off,<br><br>Kevin Driscoll<br>@kevindriscoll<br><br><br><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 27, 2018 at 2:00 PM, Evan Koblentz <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:evan@vcfed.org" target="_blank">evan@vcfed.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="auto"><span class="">>> <span style="font-family:sans-serif">I commend Don Eyles’ new autobiography, “Sunburst and Luminary: An Apollo Memoir” (</span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sunburst-Luminary-Apollo-Don-Eyles/dp/0986385905" style="font-family:sans-serif" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/<wbr>Sunburst-Luminary-Apollo-Don-<wbr>Eyles/dp/0986385905</a><span style="font-family:sans-serif">).</span><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto"><br></div></span><div dir="auto">And on that subject: Don is keynoting on Saturday, May 19 at Vintage Computer Festival East XIII: <a href="http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/vintage-computer-festival-east/" target="_blank">http://vcfed.org/wp/festivals/<wbr>vintage-computer-festival-<wbr>east/</a><div dir="auto"><br><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature" dir="auto">Evan Koblentz<br>Executive Director, Vintage Computer Federation<br><a href="mailto:evan@vcfed.org" target="_blank">evan@vcfed.org</a> / <a href="tel:(646)%20546-9999" value="+16465469999" target="_blank">(646) 546-9999</a><br><br><a href="http://www.vcfed.org" target="_blank">www.vcfed.org</a><br>@vcfederation</div></div><div><div class="h5"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote" dir="auto"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Mar 27, 2018, 1:53 PM Deborah Douglas <<a href="mailto:ddouglas@mit.edu" target="_blank">ddouglas@mit.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

GMT) I will be doing a “Facebook Live” presentation on the work of Margaret Hamilton, one of the programmers of the Apollo Guidance Computer, and now a Lego Action Figure. You’ve probably all seen that famous photo of her standing next to a pile of computer
print-out. We collected some of the binders 25 years ago, and I hope to explain a little about what’s printed on those pages. The material is now at our Archives in Chantilly, Virginia.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

will also see that on Saturday we are having an event to celebrate the 50<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the screening of “2001, a Space Odyssey.” I hope to have some posts to Facebook or the NASM blog about HAL, my favorite computer.<u></u><u></u></span></p>

I had a discussion about Facebook not long ago, where I predicted that something like this was going to happen (did I get that right Tom?) My feelings about Facebook & Twitter will have to wait for a separate post.
