Dear EC Members,
13 March 2005 will be the official 25th anniversary
of the formal approval of IEEE Project 802 Local Network for Computer
Interconnection.
In commemoration of the anniversary I have unearth
some of the original 802 documents, thanks to Jodi Haasz of IEEE SA staff.
Jodi was able to locate microfilms of the early communications with the
IEEE Standards Office on PAR 802, the original PAR (13 March 1980) and the
modified PAR for 802 (9 December 1982). I have attached a copy
here.
It is too late to do anything elaborate for
celebrate the anniversary at the March plenary session, but I will make a
mention of it at the opening plenary meeting and the social. I also
would like to invite anyone who was involved in those first sessions
(circa 1979 and 1980) to say a few words at the social in commemoration of
the anniversary.
25 years. Wow.
Regards,
--Paul
