Is anyone interested in a competitive programming meet-up in Singapore? I thought there were not many competitive programmers here. However, I have seen guys who are wearing google-code-jam or ICPC T-shirts four times in a few months, so I am planning to hold a meet-up here. Both students and professionals, from newbies to grandmasters are welcome! Especially, there is no event like ICPC for professionals, so this would be a good opportunity to mingle.

I will briefly introduce myself. I'm shindannin (NobuMiu in topcoder). I'm Japanese and working in Singapore as a video game programmer. I love broadcasting about competitive programming after competitions (the total air time is beyond 1000 hours!). I sometimes hold competitive programming meet-ups in Japan the previous event.

The date is TBD, probably in the end of October or November. If you are intereseted in the meet-up, feel free to comment or send a message to me. Thanks!

    I got a lot of messages from you, all. Thanks a lot! I will reply to you one by one. :)

    I have just created the webpage for the meet-up. Next, I will contact you through this website instead of Codeforces, so please join the group. http://www.meetup.com/Competitive-Programming-SG/

    And I create the first meet-up. It is going to be held on 15 December, not in November because - Some of them will be busy by exams in November. - ICPC regional contest will be held in the second week of December So, I set up the date in the third week in December.

    If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me. Thanks!

In university (NUS + NTU), there are bunch of us, some set their organizations on CF, so you can see them here and there. Many of us know each other through ICPC / National Olympiads.

For professionals, I only know few who participated in ICPC while in university. In my company, I see only 1 other guy participate in competitions.

Anw, I think it would be great if you initiate meet-ups :)

    Thanks for your information! When I talked to a guy wearing code jam T-shirts, he said he had already left from competitive programming. Do many students quit it after ICPC? If so, I understand there are few professionals here.

    Anyway, I will prepare for the meet-ups!

      Yeah, most people stopped competing after ACM ICPC. There's just not enough motivation to continue practicing, and not many people seem to think of competitions as fun. So yeah, I don't know if meeting people will be enough to convince people to come. But let's try :)

      Btw, PayPal SG is currently hosting many meetups. If you can prepare a good enough plan but need a place, and probably if we can have 20 people coming to meetup, I can give up some contact points.

        Thanks for the suggestion! Actually, it's quite hard to find a good place so this offer is helpful. 20 people might be a high goal for the first meet-up. However, I have some ideas. I will contact you later.

Small updates. I am doing a small survey about preference and schedule of the meet-up and sending a message to you. Thank you so much for your cooperation! However, there is a limitation that I can send only ten messages per day in Codeforces... I would like to reply soon but I cannot do that for a while. Please wait for a few days and then I will reply to you.

    Thanks for your efforts. It is very troublesome to reply from codeforces messaging system. I tend to forget the context when writing a reply, and there is no way to look back the message once you started replying. I think its better to create a spreadsheet and just share the link.
