Initial Info sent as email to ACM ListServ on Sept 13:

Hello everyone,

Based on email responses, the meeting time for SIG Compete will be on Mondays at 5:30 - 6:30 PM. We will be meeting at SELE 2254 ( The Linux Lab ). No computer is required as we will be in a computer lab, but bring your own if you want.

Our first meeting will be next Monday, Sept 18, at 5:30 PM.

*** For anyone who is interested, we will be going through Cracking the Coding Interview, by Gayle Laakmann McDowell, as it has a lot of great material for questions that would appear in competitions.

For those who are interested in ICPC, https://tim690.typeform.com/to/gnbi2n
