Next Meeting: MONDAY, October 24th

On Monday, Oct 24 AdTran will be presenting in CCB 101 at the gtACM meeting.
The meeting is scheduled to begin at 730pm, with the presentation starting 10
minutes later and lasting 30 minutes.

AdTran provides high speed digital telecommunications and enterprize networking
solutions. A key component of these solutions are software packages to remotely
manage large networks of equipment.

Two Software Engineers from AdTran's principle office, Steve Bailey and Robert
Miller, will be here to present Network Management Software. I have worked with
them, and will also be there to answer questions with the engineers.

In addition, since students require no less, there will be pizza and AdTran
promotional items.

I hope you will attend and hear about this exciting field,
Chris

Yellow Jackets Return Victorious!

This past week at the Southeastern Regional International Collegiate Programming Contest, members from the Georgia Tech ACM held their own and were crowned victorious for the second year running, taking home first place in a competition of more than 60 teams. As the top team from the Southeastern Region Competition, Charles Reiss, James Robinson, and Chris Sidi (members of the "Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets" team) will compete this spring in the ICPC World Finals, to be held in San Antonio, Texas. This will be the third year running that a team from Georgia Tech will compete in the Finals against teams from across the globe. Two years ago, a second place regional finish sent the Jackets to Prague for finals. Last year the first place regional finish secured a spot for the world finals in Shanghai. This year the competition is closer to home, but the team is every bit as excited to compete.
In addition to a first place finish by the "Yellow Jackets", the Georgia Tech teams "Ramblin Wreck" and "Team Burdell" finished strong. The Ramblin Wreck team (Justin "Trent" Altman, Hai Dang, and Manabu Shimobe) finished 29th overall and Team Burdell (Michael Hale, Blake O'Hare, and Andrew Trusty) finished 24th, reinforcing Georgia Tech's reputation as a school of excellence.

Congratulations guys!
