[ih] conf on history of ... networks

[Chris Edmondson-Yurkanan]

I'll bet that none of us expected the 4th email to this mailing list
to be about another conference!!!

I don't know anything more about this particular conference, besides that they
are encouraging meetings and discussions between historians and the 
scientists/engineers.
(Braden/Partridge/Chapin/myself and others have casually discussed over the 
last year putting on our own workshop version but have not acted on it.

So, here's the conference announcement that I just received.
