Hello everyone - The annual meeting of the Business History Conference is this weekend (March 13-15) in Frankfurt, Germany, and there are a number of SIGCIS-related papers on the program—too many for me to list individually! The program is available at http://www.thebhc.org/annmeet/program14.html, and the history of computing and information is featured on a wide array of panels, including: - “Corporate Social Responsibility and its Antecedents” - "Business and Wartime Patriotism” - “Investors, Creditors, and Information” - “Historicizing ‘Open Source’" - “Exploiting the Information Revolution” - "IBM and the Evolution of Corporate Virtue” - "Reassessing Shareholder Value" - “Gambling and Gaming” - “Standardization and its Discontents” - “IBM and Technological Nationalism” On the website you will find many paper abstracts available, as well. For those of you who will be attending the conference in Frankfurt: we don’t have any SIGCIS events planned, but I’m hopeful that many of us will meet informally at the Presidential reception on Thursday night, and/or the Emerging Scholars reception on Friday night. See you in Frankfurt! Andy
