We know you have computer memorabilia and now is a great
opportunity to preserve it in history!
Dear RUBEN SAFIR,
The Computer History Museum, in conjunction with LinuxWorld
Conference & Expo®, is conducting a nation-wide search for
Linux and open source-related memorabilia for additions to the
museum's collection in Mountain View, CA.

With the 15th anniversary of the kernel upon us, now seems like
the perfect opportunity to preserve this revolutionary part of
computer history.
Currently, the museum is looking for artifacts that are unique
and at least 10 years old (prior to 1996).
Examples are:
• Historical prototypes
• Early business plans for Linux and open source companies
• Early photographs of key figures in the Linux and open
source movement
• Software releases
• Promotional materials and tchotchkes
• Video tapes related to significant milestones in Linux
history
• Source code
If you are interested in donating an item, please visit the
museum website and fill out an online donation form. Go to:
http://www.computerhistory.org/collections/donateArtifact/donation.php
When filling out the form please use explicit and sufficient
detail about the artifact, what makes the donation worthy and
why it is significant. The deadline to submit an item for this
program is Friday, July 21, 2006.
Please state in the subject line that this is in conjunction
with the Linux World Conference & Expo. You will be notified if
your artifact is to be selected into the museum's collection
shortly thereafter.
A museum panel will select the best artifact submitted which
will be displayed in the Computer History Museum booth at
LinuxWorld Conference & Expo San Francisco, August 14-17, 2006.
For more information on the conference, or to sign up for your
free exhibit hall pass, visit http://www.linuxworldexpo.com/sf.
