Fathers (Mothers?) of Computing

Hi,

I just posted a link to the Fathers of Computing slide show (http://www.eweek.com/slideshow_viewer/0,1205,l=&s=700&a=209608&po=1,00.asp?p=y&kc=EWKNLBOE061507STR1). It's from eweek and is not very complete (doesn't even include Charles Babbage (THE "Father of Computing"). The last slide includes a challenge to create Mothers of Computing. How about us taking this on as a class project?

Update

Hi,

I've added the links to this blog and wiki to the class website. Now that the Spring Semester is over, you should have some time to think about the topic for your paper. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions
