ieee is sponsoring an online worldwide programming competition, from utc
00:00:00 oct 22 (which is this friday 5pm in victoria), for 24 hours!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the local ieee section and the uvic ieee student branch have involved 11
uvic students (grad and undergrad, in ee\/cs) in four teams to participate.
they just had a dry run last friday and they are all eager “ready to go”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
according to ieee rules, a proctor (ieee full member) should be always on
site (in ecs342). we have a duty shift schedule (it’s hard for us to be up
for 24 hours nowadays \ud83d\ude09 and we need one more primary proctor (covering
either from friday 10:30pm to saturday 7am, or from saturday 12:30pm to
6pm) and some backups (just in case someone is sick or other things)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
if you can help, please drop me a line with the chosen slot (and a cell
phone number if you have one). thanks a lot for helping our students<\/p>\n\n\n\n
===<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the current duty shift schedule:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“oct 21, 4pm to 11pm: Jim (and possibly me, as i have a visitor that day)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
oct 21, 10:30 to oct 22, 7am: (possibly i will have to take it \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n
oct 22, 6:30am to 1pm: Sudhakar<\/p>\n\n\n\n
oct 22, 12:30pm to 6pm: (Jim said he would show up again, but it’s better
we have another person around as well during the endgame)”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
some fun fact about this year’s competition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Over 4000 students are registered which means 1300+ teams.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Twenty-six of these teams are from one school, IIT Bubaneswar in India.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
