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:
Fork the 2012 branch of the scipy_proceedings <https://github.com/scipy/scipy_proceedings>__ repository on GitHub.
Check out the 2012 branch (git checkout 2012).
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--see below). The output appears in
output/firstname_surname/paper.pdf.
Once you are ready to submit your paper, file a pull request on GitHub. Please ensure that you file against the correct branch--your branch should be named 2012, and the pull-request should be against our 2012 branch.
Please do not modify any files outside of your paper directory.
Pull requests are to be submitted by July 15th, but modifications may be pushed until August 12th.
