still working on students, won't go on first iteration of poster
will work on judging. Want poster BY TONIGHT meeting if possible, depending on weather registration link or not

This is my giant list of things we need to do. A few are a little redundant, but I want to get them down...

• cannot plausibly be language-agnostic. We either need to specify what languages we will allow, or have groups specify a language when they register so we can be prepared to support it.
• are we targeting all skill levels? Either way, this should be addressed in the poster
• are we awarding prizes? If so, what prizes? This should also be mentioned on the poster
• I need help finding professors and grad students to judge. I haven't found a single faculty member that is 100% able to do it and I'm running out of ideas for professors.
• we still need to figure out the server environment that will be supporting this event. What do we need to set up to make everything run smoothly? This decision may influence what languages we can support
• we still need to plan challenges. Ideally after we have the judges and environment finalized, but we should start soon regardless. The earlier we start brainstorming, the better our challenges will be
• Just a thought:
  why was the "learning opportunities" line crossed out? I think it might be cool to have a few challenges relevant to a specific area, like for example cryptography, and then give a short analysis of some relevant solutions/hacks that professionals have discovered and used

C C++ java ruby python, anything else?

intermediate skill, so it'll be toward second years onward

prizes will be gift cards, so that goes on the poster

professors are important, but that doesn't need to be on poster right now., I want a poster today

server environment can support easily the above languages, so not worry for the poster

plan challenges will be next thursday, we should get together and plan it.

learning opportunities should be, but we shouldn't focus too much on it. too much on our plate already.

Cheers, chris
