NWERC 2006

The North-West European Regional ACM Contest (NWERC) was lots of fun again this year, though we were somewhat disappointed with our results. We ended up being 18th - the team I was in occupied the 9th place last year. The Dutch did worse than last year overall though (there were only two Dutch teams before us), so I guess that is sort of a comfort.

I'm already looking forward to next years (and the year after) NWERC, which will be held in Utrecht.

If I can manage to fit it into my university schedule, I'll try to attend Linux World Expo in Cologne from 14-16 November. Cologne is Metze's home town and several of the other SerNet folks are also attending so that might be a good opportunity to get some more Samba 4 work done.

I'm on the program committee for next years' NLUUG Spring Conference. The topic this time is Virtualisation. Abstracts (Dutch or English) are welcome here. We're interested in anything related to virtualization - different implementations (xen, vmware, valgrind, qemu, ...), virtualization done in hardware, use cases, or even virtualization of hard disks or network stacks.

I'm also looking forward to going back to Sweden for this years' NWERC competition, which is held in the weekend of 17-19 november.

Just got back from a nice weekend in Stockholm, Sweden after participating in the North-West European Regional Programming Contest. We solved 3 problems (C,F and I) and got a 27th place (out of 46 participating teams). Anyway, more luck next year. Photos (from the organisation) here and here.

Thanks to the organisors for a well-organised contest.
