Fourth Software Distribution Submissions for the Fourth Software Distribution may be brought to the Boulder meeting or mailed to arrive in New York before February 15, 1980. On that date we will start packaging the distribution with a target date for first mailings of April Fool's Day . . . Accessible source and shared code have been with us as long as we have had real computers. In fact, the IBM 701 and 704 were large machines with thousands of diodes and triodes. The way you get versatile, robust code is by letting everybody poke at it.
Open code is better code.
