Here's something I think my fellow SIGCIS members will find interesting. At the D.C. conference in 2007 I talked about the InfoAge Science Center, which was a Marconi station before W.W. I, a Navy comms station during W.W. I, an Army Signal Corp R&D lab during and after W.W. II, and shut down in the late 1990s. Recently we at InfoAge made progress in understanding what happened here applicable to computer development. The site is already noteworthy for its Marconi-era achievements and its many radar and communications achievements, but until very recently its role in computer development was severely understated. Last night I made a simple poster outlining this work. It's intended for lay audiences, but it might also open some eyes here in SIGCIS. Feedback encouraged. Of course I'd be happy to provide more detail about each bullet point. http://snarc.net/posters/10_summary-poster.pdf - Evan
