Hi<br>

<br>
11th and 12th of Feb<br>
<br>
Cfp closes on Jan 23th<br></blockquote><div> </div><div>Gnunify would be doing a programming contest this year. I suggested that and would be owning it.</div><div>Here is the idea which I put there.</div><div><br></div>

<div>* Processes </div><div>* Locking Primitives (Mutex/Semaphores)</div><div>* Multi Threading </div><div>* Network Programming</div><div><br></div><div>IMHO we should limit the topics to system programming only. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Here is how we can plan:-</div><div> </div><div>Phase 1. <b> Written test (Objective, Day1)</b></div><div>Duration 30 Mins</div><div>No. of Questions 40-45 </div><div><br></div><div>We can take this test very early in the morning say b/w 10-10:30 AM. So, students don't miss the sessions.</div>
<div>We can limit the number of students who can take part in written it.</div><div><br></div><div>The result can be declared on the same day post lunch. </div><div><br></div><div><b>Phase 2: Lab Test (Day2)</b></div><div>
Duration 2 hours</div><div>No. of Questions 2 </div><div><b><br></b></div><div><b>Rules:</b></div><div>* Create the <b>make file </b>for the programs</div><div>* Push the code on the <b>git repository</b></div>
<div>* Create the <b>Deb/RPM package.</b></div><div><br></div><div><b>Code would be judged on following:</b></div><div>* Logic</div><div>* Coding Standards</div><div>* Comments </div><div><br></div><div>Putting the rules to use git repository and create the packages will force the students to learn these things; </div>

<div>But some of the plug members were not happy about the scm and package building thing.</div><div>So, we are not still finalized what we will do.</div><div><br></div><div>I would appreciate any input on this.</div><div>
