Talk:Programming Contest Calendar

Thanks! I'll link to it in the menu bar. It's what I've meant to put, but haven't gotten to it. Larry 12:52, 26 Apr 2005 (EDT)

Excellent!! --dplass 09:45, 30 Apr 2005 (EDT)

PKU 2005 doesn't open until 7/31 not 7/27 --dplass 11:13, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)

And... the SRM "start time" of 1pm GMT is the registration start time, not the SRM start time. --dplass 11:15, 27 Jul 2005 (EDT)

There will be online verison of IOI this saturaday/sunday and on monday/tuesday http://contest.ioi2005.pl/ -- roticv 3:56 GMT +0800 18 August

Feel free to stick it in! Larry 08:24, 18 Aug 2005 (EDT)

I really like the new format, keep up the good work.

I don't know much about how Wiki works, but considering that the preferences page lets you choose your time zone, is it possible to enter dates and times in such a way that they will be displayed to the user in his time zone? That would be ideal!

I've been looking for it, so of course, if you come across them, I would be happy to change it! Larry 19:41, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)

Feel free to add more contest links! Larry 17:10, 8 Dec 2005 (EST)

I'm wondering if it's right for our CMI's contest to be here on this page -- we're only allowing participants from India, and isn't this page only for international contests? (And would it be okay to include Google Code Jam China, for example?) --Aboyner 04:54, 12 Jan 2006 (EST)


 * I'd prefer to keep the calendar only including international, but I am only one voice. --Rrenaud 09:51, 12 Jan 2006 (EST)

Does the wiki support localized times? So for example, if we always put the times in a certain way, then users could set their timezone in the preferences, and then all times would be displayed as local to users? --Rrenaud 09:51, 12 Jan 2006 (EST)
 * I had exactly the same question, see a few lines above ;) Unfortunately, the answer seems to be no (AFAIK). Also, I've commented out the CMI contest, some admin should decide whether such things are appropriate or not. --Aboyner 11:23, 12 Jan 2006 (EST)
 * I haven't seen anything to it (the localized time), though if there is, let me know. As for the contests, I don't mind, as long as it's clearly labelled as such.. --Larry 14:42, 12 Jan 2006 (EST)


 * The link to the worldclock for the TopCoder SRMs is a very nice idea. Thanks. --Shalinmangar 08:47, 29 Jan 2006 (EST)


 * You're welcome :) We could also do this for all times (the TC time links are already available on the SRM details pages, but for other times we must set them ourselves), but I think it will be worth the effort. Aboyner 10:56, 29 Jan 2006 (EST)
 * Done. --Shalinmangar 03:09, 30 Jan 2006 (EST)
