Sun Grand Challenge!!!
Well all the CA's of South Indian Colleges in Bangalore had a discussion about something called a SUN Grand Challenge.
It was the brainchild of Abhishek Kumar from BITS, Goa (u just have to be specific with 3 abhisheks anwering to the call of abhishek :D).
Anyhow the basic idea was to hold competitions aimed at Solaris/Netbeans/Java etc. These competitions would range from small quizzes, trivia, simple hacks for an OS, some treasure(read: bug) hunt using Dtrace, obfuscation/tricksy C codes or even some coding competitions in C/C++/JAVA....well the competition is still in the budding phase so ideas are plenty....
So the idea is to hold such competitions in every several college in India and thereafter invite the winners to the host college (which for the first time could be BITS, Goa). Thereafter it can be held on a rotational basis in different colleges in and around India.
Now, the challenges that lie in front of the CA community in India is to advertise this event and chalk out deadline based schedules for the prelims and the finals. Arrange sponsorship of prizes(read:: SUN HR department :P) and to get as many good students educated in this field to compete (that is hold a few workshops before holding the competitions).
So I wanted to get initial reactions from CA's and our own college students regarding SGC (Sun Grand Challenge)

The idea sounds interesting...do let me know of the proceedings...I'm from Birla Institute of Technology, Ranchi, and such a contest would certainly attract a crowd from my place.
