**LATEST UPDATE** The tests were a complete success and we now have a reliable login system as far as I (Martin) can tell.

This site will be temporarily brought down at noon on Saturday, June 28th for some testing of new code and will be brought back online as soon as possible afterward.

Thank you for your patience.

Do you enjoy solving tough problems and grappling with technical challenges? Then enter Google Code Jam!

Google Code Jam is a coding competition in which professional and student programmers are asked to solve complex algorithmic challenges in a limited amount of time. The contest is all-inclusive: Google Code Jam lets you program in the coding language and development environment of your choice.

*** Latest Update: The authentication seems to be working again from legacy.mail.uoguelph.ca. Thank you to Wyatt and CCS for clearing up that bit of confusion, and thank you to Martin for endlessly slaving away at this. You may log in normally, without taking extra steps. ***

Thanks for your patience,

Anybody who is concerned will find that our fingerprints most likely will change as of Monday morning between 6:30 and 7:30 am. The servers will also temporarily go down during this time. I'm sure quite a few of you will put two and two together and know exactly what is being done on Monday morning.

I hope this poses no inconvenience to anyone but the updates need to be done.Questions or problems contact admin@socis.ca

Anyone who is interested: (a tl;dr is at the bottom)

A committee was formed in the mid-spring to make some amendments to the SOCIS constitution. The committee found that this was a much larger undertaking than expected, and that there are a world of things that could be done to improve it.
