Doc Searls has an outstanding presentation about
Anarchy and Infrastructure, which he presented at a
Jabber Conference last month.
His
sixth slide
has pictures of ten of the people who were important in the creation
of the ARPAnet. I can't positively identify any of the top row, though three
of them look quite familiar. I do recognize three of the folks on the bottom row,
though -- Jon Postel, Leonard Kleinrock, and Vint Cerf.
All three were (at least part of the time) at UCLA's nascent Computer Science
department in 1969, when I entered as a 16-year-old freshman, and got my first job
working with the ARPAnet's "Host #1", the XDS Sigma 7.
Jabber is a pretty cool thing. More later.
