Memorial University's Fall Computer Science Games

Each Fall and Winter at Memorial University's Computer Science Department an ACM rules programming competition is held for their students. Last spring I attempted to boost student interest by providing some prizes, this went over very well for all involved, so this Fall I'm repeating the gesture.

The prizes:

• The first place prize will be a copy of Refactoring: Improving The Design Of Existing Code, an Ubuntu Mug, an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS install disc, and a Mun pen.
• The second place prize will be a copy of Extreme Programming Installed, an Ubuntu Mug, an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS install disc, and a Mun pen.
• The third place prize will be a copy of Python Pocket Reference, an Ubuntu Mug, an Ubuntu 10.04 LTS install disc, and a Mun pen.

Some lucky runners up will receive a loot bag containing a Mun pen and Ubuntu 10.04 LTS install disc.

The Fall 2010 CS Games are tentatively scheduled for September 17th, in room EN2036 at 5pm. When a link to the information regarding competition rules, and other details becomes available I'll update this post.
