The first training session for all members is to participate in the upcoming National Olympiad in Informatics (NOI) competition to be held this Saturday (4th March). This is a national level programming competition for JC and Secondary school students. Please read the rules found here, take note of how to read input and write output.

Our venue is PL5 located at S15 level 2, the contest will be from 9am to 1pm. Please be at PL5 by 9am. You can continue to work on the problems on your own time after the contest and we will discuss the solutions to the NOI problem set during the next training session. Details on future training sessions will be confirmed once we have a clear idea how many people are coming.

25/02/06

I've started a google groups to manage the mailing list. To avoid flooding everyone's mailbox only the moderators (Dr Tan and myself) will be able to post to the mailing list. This mailing list will mainly be used for urgent announcements. For discussions please refer to the ACM ICPC community forum on IVLE. From time to time, dead threads in the forum will be moved to the wiki if the information is of general interest.

For the first training session, we will be joining the NOI competition on the 4th March. It will be held from 0900 to 1300 in one of the labs in S15 level 2. The exact venue will be confirmed later after the booking is done, we will also send out a email to inform you of the venue. Please arrive in the contest venue at least 10 mins before the start of the NOI.
