Please note that the "Object-Oriented Programming: 1961-1967" IEEE Milestone 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, "for the creation and evolution of the Python programming language and for leadership of its community."

I was thinking that it might be interesting and fun to pull together a traditional organized panel for SHOT 2018 of people who rely on the study of artifacts (including digital artifacts like computer programs, and also online platforms) for their research in the history of technology. 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,

David
