Yes, my idea for the panel title was a play on this and also recent discussions of “object-oriented ontology.” Probably has also to do with all the hours we’ve spent recently documenting the history and performance of SmallTalk!

Please note that the "Object-Oriented Programming: 1961-1967" IEEE Milestone <http://ethw.org/Milestones:Object-oriented_programming> was dedicated on 27 September 2017 in Oslo, Norway. Its citation reads:
Ole-Johan Dahl and Kristen Nygaard created the Simula programming languages in the 1960s at the Norwegian Computer Center. They introduced a new way of modeling and simulating complex tasks. Object-oriented programming is now dominant in systems development. It is an integral part of computer science curricula, as are languages built on object-oriented programming concepts, such as Smalltalk, C++, Java, and Python.
In addition, one of the three Computer History Museum 2018 Fellows is Guido Van Rossum <http://www.computerhistory.org/fellowawards/hall/guido-van-rossum>, "for the creation and evolution of the Python programming language and for leadership of its community." _________________________ Brian A.

The panel could be an opportunity to present this kind of “object-oriented history of technology” work, and to talk about its promise and pitfalls.

If this sounds interesting to anyone, please send me a direct email, and I’ll see what I might pull together.
All the best,
