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:

- Fork the `scipy_proceedings <https://github.com/scipy/scipy_proceedings>`__
  repository on GitHub.

- Check out the 2013 branch (`git checkout 2013`).

- 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 2013, and the pull-request should be against our 2013 branch.

- Please do not modify any files outside of your paper directory.

Pull requests are to be submitted by **May 19th**, but modifications are
allowed during the review period until June 16th.
