Not general computing history, but Unix-specific: there's also The Unix 
Heritage Society (TUHS) led by Warren Toomey: https://www.tuhs.org/ and 
mailing list (and archive) https://minnie.tuhs.org/mailman/listinfo/tuhs

I am quite impressed with Mr Toomey's work, and the fact that so many 
people who were there 30 and 50 years ago are still around and actively 
participating in shaping computing and the community today.

I'm a Perl and shell hacker from way back and have tried to selectively 
learn new languages (including Python and Go) as time allows.
