Procom 2008
I was invited by the faculty and student body at FAST NU to judge the Procom.Net 2008 Software Competition. Most of you may not know – FAST NU is one of the best engineering schools we have here in Pakistan. Think Stanford of Pakistan. I’ll let GIKI be MIT and LUMS be Harvard.
Anyways Procom has become an annual tradition at FAST NU where student engineers from all over the country come down to Karachi for a few days and compete in various competitions in programming, software, network design, hardware, circuit design and hacking. The event is conducted in association with a student branch of IEEE.
Some of the smartest people at Creative Chaos participated at Procom in their college days and most of them won or were runner ups. Therefore I’ve always held the institution and the competition in very high regard. When I was asked if I would be interested in coming to the event and judging the software competition – I immediately accepted the offer. It was like winning free backstage passes to a software lollapalooza.
