[Coin-announce] CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: 21st Annual COIN-OR Cup Competition

[Matthew Saltzman]

The COIN-OR Cup recognizes and celebrates the best contributions to
open-source operations research software development and use associated
with the COIN-OR software collection. To remind you, COIN-OR stands for
"COmputational INfrastructure for Operations Research". It is the
definitive collection of free, open-source operations research software
that lets you concentrate on your research instead of re-implementing
software. See https://www.coin-or.org. Get on board!
