POTM Contest Lives Again

Posted by timothy on from the go dept.

bababooey182 writes "The Programmer of the Month (POTM) contest series has returned. POTM was a fantastic programming contest series that ran from 1993 to 2000, and participants were greatly disappointed when it ended. Fred Hicinbothem, the brains and personality behind the POTM, brought it back a few months ago, and the POTM has the same community feel that it did back in the day. Here's to another long run. The current contest deadline is November 30th."

    This sounds exciting. While I wasn't a part of this when it was around back before '00, I'm definately going to get involved. This is a nice competition that supports friendly competetion between programmers, and gives them plenty of freedom to choose which language they use.

    Despite the fact that it's not a front page post, I'd like to take this opportunity to point out that this is the second time in a row that Slashdot editors posted a story about a contest before the contest was over!

    Happy doesn't begin to describe my mood. ^^v
