DM i Programmering 2019 (Danish Programming Championship)
by Asger Hautop Drewsen 26 Sep '19

26 Sep '19

Hi everyone It is time for this year's edition of the Danish Programming Championship (as always, part of the Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest, NCPC). It will be held Saturday, October 5, 2019 in Nygaard-1, library area. If you want to participate, please sign up at the following Google form: https://forms.gle/36wAqpVsD3rNaLiU6 If you need teammates, let me know at drewsen at cs.au.dk and I can help match you up. If you are an ICPC-eligible student team (see https://icpc.baylor.edu/regionals/rules#HBasicEligibilityRequirements ), you must bring your own PC laptop and boot an Ubuntu Mint 18.04 Live image from a provided USB drive! Please arrive no later than 10:00 to ensure that we have time to set up everyone with USB drives. The contest starts at 11:00 and ends at 16:00, although delays may occur for various reasons, typically no more than 15 minutes. System requirements: * PC laptop with Windows, Linux, *BSD or similar - unfortunately we have not tested the system on Macs, so they are not supported. * 4 GB available space - the system image is copied from the USB drive to a file on the laptop storage (but the installation is not permanent and the image file can be safely deleted afterwards). The USB drive is required to boot the system, but the USB drive may be removed when the system has booted. * If you use Windows, then "Fast startup" must be disabled - we can show you how. Similarly, Secure boot must be disabled - we can show you how. For all the gory details of how we prepared the USB drives this year, see: https://github.com/Tyilo/diskless2018 As usual, the event is sponsored by Netcompany and arranged by Netcompany and the CS department, and there will be lunch, snacks, cake, soda, fruit etc. during the competition. After the competition, we will have an award ceremony where we go through the solutions to the contest problems while consuming pizza, sodas and beer. NWERC tryouts: The NWERC tryouts will be held on Sunday (September 29, 2019). Please write to me if you would like to go to NWERC. What is NWERC? The Northwestern Europe Regional Contest is a programming competition in which the best teams in Northwest Europe compete. In 2019, NWERC is held at Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands. We usually send the best 6 students in Aarhus to NWERC, sponsored by the department, based on an individual qualification contest. We leave the department Friday morning November 15, and after the contest on Monday November 18 we go back to Aarhus. It is usually a lot of fun, so I hope you sign up for the qualifier! Best, Asger Hautop Drewsen

Hi everyone It is time for this year's edition of the Danish Programming Championship (as always, part of the Nordic Collegiate Programming Contest, NCPC). It will be held Saturday, October 6, 2018 in Nygaard-1, library area. If you want to participate, please sign up at the following Google form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdjjQPnb4iB2nmZ6ExOkvvth7r2Y5DvgPX… If you need teammates, let me know at rav(a)cs.au.dk and I can help match you up. New in 2018: We have moved from the Zuse building to Nygaard-1. If you are an ICPC-eligible student team<https://icpc.baylor.edu/regionals/rules#HBasicEligibilityRequirements>, you must bring your own PC laptop and boot an Ubuntu Mint 18.04 Live image from a provided USB drive! The CS department no longer has the Zuse building available nor the desktop computers in the building, so from this year onwards we are a bring-your-own-device kind of contest. Please arrive no later than 10:00 to ensure that we have time to set up everyone with USB drives. The contest starts at 11:00 and ends at 16:00, although delays may occur for various reasons, typically no more than 15 minutes. System requirements: * PC laptop with Windows, Linux, *BSD or similar - unfortunately we have not tested the system on Macs, so they are not supported. * 3 GB available space - the system image is copied from the USB drive to a file on the laptop storage (but the installation is not permanent and the image file can be safely deleted afterwards). The USB drive is required to boot the system, but the USB drive may be removed when the system has booted. * If you use Windows, then "Fast startup" must be disabled - we can show you how. Similarly, Secure boot must be disabled - we can show you how. Unfortunately I won't be able to attend this year's contest. If you would like to help set up the contest area at 9 AM and help all teams boot the provided USB drives, please let me know. If you would like to help organize the contest in the future, let me know, since I am finishing my PhD studies before next year's contest. For all the gory details of how we prepared the USB drives this year, see: https://github.com/Mortal/diskless2018 As usual, the event is sponsored by Netcompany and arranged by Netcompany and the CS department, and there will be lunch, snacks, cake, soda, fruit etc. during the competition.

If you would like to join, please register as soon as possible<https://www.jobindex.dk/arrangement/431/coding-competition-aarhus> and sign up on the Facebook event<https://www.facebook.com/events/896650847150440/>.
