@avishkar58 @KaleabTessera Can you do a sense check here plz

avishkar58 commented 5 years ago

Looks good to me! Only thing I'd add is that the letter should be converted/saved as PDF before emailing it.

Does this need to go on the invitation letter? :P

avishkar58 commented 5 years ago

Yes, apparently this is useful for people using the letter to seek funding from their university or company etc :)

I figure, we could just have %BRINGING_POSTER% on the templates, and then mailmerge that with text if they're bringing one. I'm trying to avoid another permutation of invitation templates :P

avishkar58 commented 5 years ago

Yes definitely, much better than doubling the templates :)
