Dear Academic Initiative Member, 
 
IBM is running a big iron contest with no experience necessary!  Your
students can take charge of a world-class system in this contest developed
specifically for college students looking for a challenge.
 
Contestants will use live systems and tackle real-world problems using
storage management, Java and IBM DB2.  Prizes include t-shirts, iPod nanos
and Xbox 360s.  Registration opens for the USA and Canada (excluding Quebec)
on September 5.  The contest begins October 2 and ends December 28.  Please
visit http://ibm.com/university/ecma/campaign/er.jsp?id=188033 for details.
 
IBM is also running the Accessibility ODF Coding Challenge in the fall 2006
semester.  This challenge is open to university students in three regions:
US and Canada, Japan, and China.  Separate prizes will be awarded for each
region.  Direct your students to
http://ibm.com/university/ecma/campaign/er.jsp?id=188034 for details.
 
Sincerely, 
 
The IBM Academic Initiative Team
