Some Key Dates in IBM's Operations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa
https://www-03.ibm.com/ibm/history/documents/pdf/emea.pdf

One of my hobbies after joining IBM was creating & supporting enhanced
operating systems for internal datacenters, including a long time
customer HONE.

When HONE started being cloned around the world, I would be asked to go
over for the installation, did one in (new) Tour Franklin, early 70s,
landscaping hadn't been completed, still brown dirt around the
bldg. Hard part was reading my email back in the states.

Late 70s and early 80s I was blamed for online computer conferencing
(precursor to social media) on the internal network (larger than
arpanet/internet from just about the beginning until sometime
mid-80s). Folklore is when the comporate executive committee was told
about online computer conferencing (and the internal network), 5of6
wanted to fire me.

(see EMEA 1983 above, had been former co-worker at science center)

Note In Aug1976, TYMSHARE
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tymshare

started offering its CMS-based online computer conferencing "free" to
(IBM user group) SHARE
https://www.share.org/

I created process to get monthly complete copy of all vmshare for
placing on internal systems (includine HONE systems) and making
available on the internal network. Biggest problem I had was with the
lawyers that were afraid customer information could contaminate IBM
employees. Archives here:
