Mark your calendars for Friday, July 11, 2008 to Monday, July 14,

2008: the dates for the eleventh annual ICFP Programming Contest.

The ICFP Programming Contest is one of the most advanced and

prestigious programming contests, as well as being a chance to show

off your programming skills, your favorite languages and tools, and

your ability to work as a team. The contest is affiliated with the

International Conference on Functional Programming. Teams consisting

of one or more participants, from any part of the world, using any

programming language, may enter.

The specific task will be announced when the contest begins. In the
