- Abstract
omegaUp is an open source cloud-based online contest and training platform for the Mexican Olympiad in Informatics. It is designed to be a robust, highly scalable, low cost and secure solution. To achieve our security goals, the platform leverages minijail, a modern and actively maintained sandbox from the ChromiumOS project with a good security track record as well as other features for grading task solutions reliably. Students can solve past and ongoing contests as well as training problems with live feedback. omegaUp also provides easy to use administrative features enabling users to upload tasks for automatic grading without staff assistance and create their own contests using any previously uploaded task. Since omegaUp's launch 3 years ago, it has hosted more than 400 contests for both IOI training and ACM-like competitions, graded more than 100,000 submissions, and helped the Mexican Team achieve their best performance in the IOI finals to date.
