This year is 50th anniversary of RS-232 standard. Despite its age it is still used nowadays, and I work in company that has to deal with it.

So we have a half-serious idea to celebrate the exact day the standard was issued. Does anyone knows that date (maybe has printed version to look into)?

just to be argumentative :-) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrhosis regarding the question. All i can find is 1962, no actual date. - it may be no such record exists because it wasn't one atomic, defined event. – Sirex Jan 30 at 13:29
