I'm in charge of organizing a computer Go event at this year's
Congress. Right now I'm trying to get one or more local companies to
donate machines and/or prize money.
I really doubt we can subsidize travel.
Stay tuned...

Hi,
What should we be doing to get programmers to bring their bots to
the Congress in Portland in 2008?
The AGA is formally not that program friendly, but there can be
events for bots, and hopefully events for humans against bots. I am
sure that there will be tournaments that will not include programs,
but if we start now I am sure that we can make it interesting for
all. Chuck Robins, one of the TDs, said that he is willing to have
tournaments that allow computers.
The recent thread on testing the strong programs and what ratings
they might have has me thinking that it might be good to have
various programs set up to play against any person who approaches
the computer. If we develop a method to keep track of the ranks of
the opponents, by the end of the Congress each program will have an
aprox rating.
What would get YOU to bring your program to the Congress? What
would you like to do once you are there?
Cheers,
David
