Wow, great! My mentor Benjamin promoted my temporaly successfull participation in the Imagine Cup 2007 at the Institute of Informatics. He published a news article about my current ranking (3rd rank) and proceeding to the semi finals:

IfI Student Enters Semi Finals in International User Interface Competition

IfI diploma student Amancio Bouza ranked 3rd in the user interface discipline to enter the semi-finals of Microsoft’s international computer science talent competition Imagine Cup. His successful contribution presents a novel AJAX powered user interface. The solution improves accessing and modifying graph based knowledge structures in an enterprise content management system. The user interface unites editing and browsing functions, and therefore will empower regular knowledge workers to view and change how knowledge is represented within their organization more easily.
The diploma thesis is currently under development with the Information Management Research Group at the IfI. Since Mr. Bouza seems to be the only Swiss participant in the competition, he hopefully will advance to the final round held this summer in Korea.
