[erlang-questions] CS Lab's 30th Anniversary!

[Francesco Cesarini]

Hi All,

I thought I would share this email Bjarne Dacker, co-founder and former 
head of the computer science lab sent out today. 30 years ago on this 
day, the CS lab was founded.

Happy birthday!!!

Hello
On 1 March 1984 *CSLab* (/Computer Science Laboratory/) was formally 
established as an organizational unit at Ericsson Telecom. Activities 
had already been going on since 1981. On 1 May 1988 *CSLab* was moved to 
Ellemtel which became Ericsson after some years. On 30 June 2002 *CSLab 
*was closed down.
*CSLab *existed for ~18 years with ~12 people so Ericsson invested >200 
person-years on an idea that was originally presented to Gösta Lindberg 
CTO of Ericsson by four enthusiastic software freaks.
Fortunately *Erlang*, the most important invention at *CSLab*, managed 
to sneak out and conquer the world. On the personal side there have 
become some doctors, a couple of professors and a few millionaires.
Tonight have a beer or a glass of wine or a bottle of Loranga or a 
whisky and say /cheers/ to the happy memories of *CSLab* which saw the 
light 30 years ago.
