There has been a lot of discussion by people interested in o-o activities
about whether the ACM should form a special SIG for it.  OOPSLA is sponsored
by SIGPLAN, so the ACM has been active in some ways, at least.  The general
feeling seems to be that there is no need for this.  In a half dozen years
we will all be doing object-oriented programming, and there will be no more
need for a SIG on OOP than there is for one on structured programming.
