Dear SIGCIS,
I hope everyone of you returned home safely from Luxembourg last week. It was awesome to see so many of you there at SHOT. So many good panels on the history of computing!
Who still hasn’t enough (and is able to understand German), I just wanted to invite you to a conference on „Computer in Germany. New perspectives in History of Computing and Computer Archeology“. ("Computer in Deutschland“) The conference takes place on the of the 100th anniversary of Heinz Nixdorf in Paderborn, Germany, on November 7th-8th. I’m co-organizing the conference with my colleague Stefan Höltgen with the support of the Historical Institute Paderborn, the German Society for Computer Science (GI) and the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, on of the largest computer museums in the world. Conference language is German, the conference is free. Please find attached the program and the poster.
Best Martin
