All, Try to send in your thoughts on participating in "Google Code-In" ASAP -- if we wanted, we can participate. The contest itself takes place over the holidays (Nov 22 - Jan 10), so the question is whether many of us will be available should these high school students have questions or need a small amount of guidance.
Deadline for this is unfortunately *today*. I'd be willing to put in the application if we have enough interest -- but, if not, we may just have to wait till next year. - Tim On 10/28/2010 5:31 PM, Mark Diggory wrote: > This almost slipped past my radar.
