Thank you, Alexandre, for your kind words about SIGCIS. SIGCIS has evolved and grown a lot since its days as a Listserv on an IBM mainframe at the Smithsonian in 1990 (before there was a World Wide Web!) It is gratifying to see that it is still vibrant, after so many other forums have come and gone. Speaking of which...SIGCIS may no longer be the place to go into the weeds about aspects of computing history—at least that is how I feel, not wishing to clutter people's in-boxes. I've opened a Substack Account <substack.com/@paulceruzzi> where I can post such items. It's free, and you don't have to subscribe. Comments welcome. Paul Ceruzzi Curator Emeritus National Air and Space Museum Original message: "Software is Ubiquitous, yet Overlooked" is the title of a paper in Nature Computational Science that was released just today. You can check it out at this link : <https://www.nature.com/articles/s43588-024-00651-2> It is available to read in html or to download as a pdf. It is a call for HPS/STS scholars (and also computational scientists themselves) to apprehend software beyond code. As a Historian of Science myself, I am taking advantage of this self-promotional post to pay tribute to the SIGSIS community. You will maybe recognize some of its prominent members in the references, in the quotations, and also in the authors list. This is quite simply because I do believe that the SIGCIS community is (and should be more of ) a source of inspiration for historians of science dealing with some sort of computing. In other words : Thank you all ! -- *********************************************** Alexandre Hocquet Archives Henri Poincaré & RWTH c:o/re https://poincare.univ-lorraine.fr/fr/membre-titulaire/alexandre-hocquet
