Maybe it's a good time to mention that the grant I got for my PhD research is a project collecting documents and oral histories of GIS software development. Materials collected will eventually be accessioned to the Computer History Museum. If you work/have worked on GIS tools (web mapping is part of it!!) I would love to talk to you!!
@ingrid Are you aware of https://grass.osgeo.org/about/history/ ( Documents and citations) and https://grasswiki.osgeo.org/wiki/GRASS_Citation_Repository#Historic_citations ( the scanned documents go back to 1989)? Maybe ping @neteler, he might know more, especially GRASS- and OSGeo-related.
