This conference will undoubtedly be remembered by those whoattended for its idyllic location and innovative program. This year's conference theme, "20 Years: Putting it All Together", was very appropriate and illustrative of our profession. What a long way our associationhas come in the twenty years since the inaugural conference was held in Williamstown,MA. The inaugural conference featured a keynote address, given by Lois Torrence, and three paperpresentations. I think that it is quite fitting that at our 20th annual conference, the NEAIRmembership voted to confer emeritus membership status upon Lois. Twenty yearslater our annual conference featured numerous workshops, paper presentations, panel discussions, specialinterest group meetings, and the inaugural team case study. Special thanks and credit are due to Marge Wiseman, Program Chair, and toDiane Cuneo, Local Arrangements Chair, for their excellent organization and planning.They set olit to provide a conference that would take full advantageof the unique setting, to provide a rich learning environment and to foster collegial networking opportunities. TheSunday night keynote address by Robert Culver, Senior Vice President and Treasurer atNortheastern University, provided us with valuable insights and practical approaches to costreductions and productivity enhancements. The team case study that was woven throughout thetraditi:711al parts of the program provided participants the opportunity to share andpractice institutiol-al research techniques. Many thanks go to Marian Pagano who conceived of andorchestrated this new conference component. The Monday eveningdinner and Karaoke event was definitely an opportunity to make new friends, to reestablish old acquaintances and generallylet our hair down. Congratulations to all the newly-elected NEAIR officers: to Marian Pagano on her election to the position of President-Elect, to Jane Price, on her election toSecretary, and to Darryl Bullock, Diane Cuneo, and Stuart Rich on their election to the SteeringCommittee. Additional thanks go to Jane Price who is serving double duty as Publications Chairand is responsible for the compilation and production of these Proceedings. The membership canbe confident that these newly elected officers and steering committee members will servethe organization well. A special thank you to Larry Metzger and Tom Flaherty,who provided advice and guidance throughout my tenure as president. Heartfelt thanks go toBrenda Bretz, our membership secretary, for all her helpand for the hours of service she provides this organization. Best wishes to Mike McGuire, a valued friend and colleague, as he assumesthe responsibilities of the presidency. His new initiatives will strengthen and moveNEAIR forward in the year ahead. With these acknowledgments, and heartfelt thanks tomembers of the Steering Committee and to the members of NEAIR, I commend to themembership these Proceedings. This has truly been a memorable year.

FIRST, members must not supply CFIC with their company email addresses. That is, companies that they work for. (If you own the company, that's different.) All email on a company's server can be read by any supervisor. All it takes is one pro vaccine activist to get hold of our mobilization alerts to throw a monkey wrench in all of our efforts. Thus, do not supply me with a company email address. We can help you get an alternative to that if necesary. SECONDLY, CFIC needs members' email addresses to supply important information to mobilize parents to do things that advances our goal to enact our legislative reforms of the exemptions from vaccination. That has always been CFIC's sole agenda. CFIC has been able to keep the membership fee to zero because we don't communicate via snail mail. But people change their addresses frequently and forget to update CFIC. When this happens over the years, that member is essentually blind and deaf to us, and is no longer of any value to the coalition---your fellow parents. Therefore, it warrants me to require that members supply CFIC with their most permanent email account. That means the email address of the company in which you are paying a monthly fee for internet access, be it broadband or dialup service.

  • The Cathedral and the Bazaar
    The Cathedral and the Bazaar Linux is subversive. Who would have thought even five years ago (1991) that a world- class operating system could coalesce as if by magic out of part-time hacking by several thousand developers scattered all over the planet, connected only by the tenuous strands of the Internet? Certainly not I. By the time Linux swam onto my radar screen in early 1993, I had already been involved in Unix and open-source development for ten years. I was one of the first GNU contributors in the mid-1980s. I had released a good deal of open-source software onto the net, developing or co-developing several programs (nethack, Emacs's VC and GUD modes, xlife, and others) that are still in wide use today. I thought I knew how it was done. Linux overturned much of what I thought I knew. I had been preaching the Unix gospel of small tools, rapid prototyping and evolutionary programming for years. But I also believed there was a certain critical complexity above which a more centralized, a priori approach was required. I believed that the most important software (operating systems and really large tools like the Emacs programming editor) needed to be built like cathedrals, carefully crafted by individual wizards or small bands of mages working in splendid isolation, with no beta to be released before its time. Linus Torvalds's style of development—release early and often, delegate everything you can, be open to the point of promiscuity—came as a surprise. No quiet, reverent cathedral-building here—rather, the Linux community seemed to resemble a great babbling bazaar of differing agendas and approaches (aptly symbolized by the Linux archive sites, who'd take submissions from anyone) out of which a coherent and stable system could seemingly emerge only by a succession of miracles.

This began with point-to-point communication between mainframe computers and terminals, expanded to point-to-point connections between computers and then early research into packet switching. Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols. The ARPANET in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, where multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks. In 1982 the Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) was standardized and the concept of a world-wide network of fully interconnected TCP/IP networks called the Internet was introduced.

  • Before the Web There Was Gopher
    Before the Web There Was Gopher Philip L. Frana Charles Babbage Institute The World Wide Web, universally well known today, was preceded by an efficient software tool that was fondly named Gopher. The Internet Gopher, much like the Web, enabled users to obtain information quickly and easily. Why, then, did it disappear but the Web did not? Gopher faded into obscurity for two main reasons: hypertext and commerce. Before the Web there was Gopher, a nearly anymore, despite the efforts of a handful of defunct Internet application protocol and asso- individuals to revitalize the protocol.

  • The Cathedral and the Bazaar
    The Cathedral and the Bazaar Eric Steven Raymond cf text and copyright at: www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings Abstract I anatomize a successful open-source project, fetchmail, that was run as a deliberate test of some surprising theories about so=ware engineering suggested by the history of Linux. I dis- cuss these theories in terms of two fundamentally di:erent development styles, the “cathedral” model of most of the com- mercial world versus the “bazaar” model of the Linux world. I show that these models derive from opposing assumptions about the nature of the so=ware-debugging task. I then make a sustained argument from the Linux experience for the proposi- tion that “Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow”, suggest productive analogies with other self-correcting systems of self- ish agents, and conclude with some exploration of the implica- tions of this insight for the future of so=ware. 1 The Cathedral and the Bazaar Linux is subversive.

  • Browsing the Internet Worksheet Synopsis
    CLASS : 4 SUBJECT : COMPUTER SCIENCE TOPIC : BROWSING THE INTERNET WORKSHEET SYNOPSIS: The World Wide Web (WWW) is a huge collection of pages. The World Wide Web is popularly known as the Web. Moving from one website to another is known as net surfing or web browsing. A hyperlink is a highlighted text or graphic image on a web page that we can click to jump to another location. A website that provides the facility of searching for information on various topics are known as search engines. For example - Google, Bing, Yahoo Search etc. The first search engine was named Archie. Veronica and Jughead are the search tools. These three are well-known comic characters. There are many tips to make our search effective on the Internet. We must spell the words correctly. We should know what we are looking for and be specific. Use double quotation marks around search words. This will tell the search engine that the words in quotes must be searched exactly as they are typed, and in the same order. We can put a plus sign (+) instead of AND and a a minus sign (-) instead of OR. I. Fill in the blanks: a) ___________ is a highlighted word or graphic image. b) The first page of a website is called the _______ page. c) The WWW stands for _________ __________ _________. d) The WWW is popularly known as the _________. e) ________ , _________ and _________ are popular search engines. f) ________ was the first search engine.
