Welcome to the Edinburgh Computer History Project. You caught us in a busy week, while we're preparing for the Conference/Reunion in Edinburgh this June (27th-29th). We'll be putting full information about the event up on this site within the week; check back next Sunday evening. If anyone outside of Scotland is interesting in coming to the event, please contact me (Graham Toal) at gtoal@gtoal.com as soon as possible; remember, you only have about three and a half months to buy airline tickets and book somewhere to stay. The Edinburgh Computer History Project is primarily about saving the pioneering computer work done at Edinburgh in the 60's and 70's; and giving that work the publicity it didn't really receive at the time. We've collected a lot of important early code - operating systems, language implementations, various applications - and they're all online in our archive; however we haven't yet turned this archive into a presentable web site, so that will be one of the priorities to have ready in time for the meeting in June. We will be handing out copies of the archive on DVD to everyone who attends. As well as being the first in-person meeting of the ECHP, the Edinburgh event will include a short conference section where invited guests will present papers on some of the lessons learned (or forgotten) from the past. But primarily it will be the first and probably last major reunion of all the "Old Hands" from the early days at Edinburgh; and if you're a CS or AI graduate from Edinburgh from 20 years ago or more, we're co-hosting the event with a multi-year class reunion.
