SciPy Proceedings
=================

Paper Format
------------

Papers are formatted using reStructuredText and the compiled version should be
no longer than 7 pages, including figures.  Here are the steps to produce a
paper:

- For the 2012 branch of the `scipy_proceedings
  <https://github.com/scipy/scipy_proceedings>`__ repository on GitHub.  An
  example paper is provided in ``papers/00_vanderwalt``.  Create a new
  directory ``papers/firstname_surname``, copy the example paper into it, and
  modify to your liking.

- Run ``./make_paper.sh papers/firstname_surname`` to compile your paper to PDF
  (requires LaTeX, docutils, Python).  The output appears in
  ``output/firstname_surname/paper.pdf``.

- Once you are ready to submit your paper, file a pull request on GitHub.

Papers may be submitted via e-mail to [email protected] by July 15th.
