I am, God help me, one of five souls who will, should we all arrive intact, have attended all twenty OOPSLA Conferences. The others are Ralph Johnson, Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, Allen Wirfs-Brock, and Ed Gehringer. We are putting together an observance of this auspicious occassion, called "Backward!" that will be held on Tue. 18 October 2005. It is expected that another slightly less auspicous, but nevertheless noteworthy occassion, the Tenth Anniversary of the introduction of the Java programming language, will be observed at this very same event...
