Hi Beibei

As an important member of your ACM chapter, I'd like to introduce you
to CodeChef.com - a non-profit programming competition focused on
fostering education and growth amongst the software development
community. Each month we host programming contests that engage and
challenge software programmers globally.

After our successful launch in India, we are extremely excited to
announce that starting this July participants from the USA, are
eligible to win prizes on CodeChef too!

The CodeChef July Challenge will begin on July 1st at 06:30 EST and
end on July 13th at 06:30 EST with cash prizes worth $3000 to be won!
To find out more about this contest, check our latest blog post.

CodeChef has monthly algorithm competitions as well as other types of
programming challenges like last month's Gamers Challenge. New
contest formats are currently in development.

Feel free to look around our site, check out our previous contests and
solve some practice problems. I would love to hear your feedback about
our site, contest formats or any other ideas for improvement.

To help a greater number of students benefit through CodeChef we have
been working on a number of community based initiatives like CodeChef
Campus Chapters. Through this initiative we encourage students to get
together and organize meet ups, hold sessions, discuss solutions and
help each other improve their programming skills. We also host inter
and intra college competitions.

It would be great if you could spread the word about CodeChef to your
ACM chapter. If you have any questions or suggestions, let me know :)

Cheers!
