Hi Dave,

Long time since we have chatted.  Hope all is well with you.

If you find it suitable, please post the following announcement to  
your mailing list.

--------------------------------------------------------------

On October 29, 2009, UCLA Engineering will celebrate the 40th  
anniversary of the Internet with a Symposium that focuses not on the  
history or even on the technology, but rather on the impact the  
Internet has had on society, business, communities, lifestyles,  
culture, etc., and on the likely directions it will take in the future.

Forty years ago, a team led by UCLA's Professor Leonard Kleinrock,  
sent the first message on the ARPANET, which later became the  
Internet. The Internet has revolutionized communication, education,  
business and entertainment leading to dramatic changes in our social,  
political and economic lives.

What's next? The event's featured Internet leaders, activists and  
analysts will offer valuable insights on the opportunities and  
pitfalls that lie ahead.  Please check the website http://www.engineer.ucla.edu/IA40/index.html 
 for detailed information.

During this event, an IEEE Milestone Award will be unveiled by IEEE  
President John R. Vig.

The keynote address will be given by Nicholas Negroponte, Chairman of  
One Laptop Per Child.

Other Featured Speakers include:

Arianna Huffington, Co-Founder & Editor-in-Chief, The Huffington Post
John Taylor, Co-Founder & Bassist, Duran Duran
John Perry Barlow, Co-Founder & Vice Chairman, Electronic Frontier  
Foundation
Shiva Shivakumar, Vice President, Google, Inc.
