Hi all, Another programming competition is upon us! This time it is IDI open 2011, which is held on April 2nd. We plan on participating in this contest, and if enough people are willing to spend a saturday solving algorithmic problems we will get pizzas and soda for lunch sponsored by the institute. We usually meet in the Stibitz building for contests. You can read about the contest here: http://events.idi.ntnu.no/open11/theindex.php?page=news This competition is a team competition, which means you sit together 2-3 people at one computer and solve the problems given. We have been talking about having a few practice sessions before the competition so that you can get a feel for what kind of problems you are to solve during the competition and get familiar with the setting. If you are interested in participating, either in the competition or practicing, or have any questions please send me an email. Even if you do not have a team yet, send me an email and I'll try to put you in contact with others who do not have a team yet either. In case you decide to sign up yourself, remember to put "[Århus]" as the first part of your team name. Hope to hear from you soon! Best, Jesper
