Meeting May 2003
2002 was a year that saw a number of our initiatives bear significant fruit: a special issue of the IEEE Annals, the ADAPSO Reunion meeting, 10 workshops on ADAPSO activities, 15 oral histories, a complete update of the softwarehistory.org website and the donation of significant materials to the Charles Babbage Institute (CBI). It was also a year in which Luanne Johnson moved on from the presidency of SHC to becoming president of the Charles Babbage Foundation (CBF) after leading SHC since its origination in 2000. Burton Grad was then elected as the new president of SHC.

The Software History Center (SHC) had another successful year in 2003. Thanks to a substantial grant from the Charles Babbage Foundation we were able to initiate some key projects which helped to advance our goal of preserving and communicating the history of the computer software and services industry. In addition, we used the contributions we received to enable us to complete work on projects which we had started in 2002.

This meeting was organized jointly by the Charles Babbage Foundation and the Software History Center and held in conjunction with the 2003 CBF Trustees meeting in Palo Alto, CA. The purpose of the meeting was to establish a consortium of organizations and individuals interested in preserving information technology history, to establish an initial set of priority projects, and to create a framework to record activities accomplished and in process as a basis for selecting and funding future projects. This initial meeting of the consortium members focused primarily on the history of computer software & services.
