Dear Lugmasters,

I am a doctoral student in Economic & Social History, and am writing  my 
dissertation on the history of free software.  I am currently  compiling a
short history of free software use and development in the  UK,
particularly in higher education, for a separate project that will  be
published online. The report will go on the website, which has a  policy
of putting an open license on all documentation, and that
anyone can contact them to discuss alternative licensing if they need  it.


Could folks suggest events or areas of interest that I should include?  I 
am particularly interested in free software use and development in  higher
education, but would like to include everything that's
important. I'm interested in history going back as far as the 1950s.
