conference.scipy.org

This repository contains the landing page and blog for the conference.scipy.org. Each specific SciPy Conference manages it's own website and this site is only meant to capture the commonalities between them.

Dependencies

You need a python environment with pelican and markdown packages installed.

Contributing

Currently the website is a set of static pages generated by Pelican. The generated content is uploaded to our server sponsored by RackSpace. Contact scipy-organizers@scipy.org to get things updated.

Please feel free to contribute in what ever capacity you feel best. For now, the site contains details for conferences past and news items from conferences.

Here are a few ways you can contribute:

Add news item

$ git clone git@github.com:aterrel/conference.scipy.org.git

Publishing

You need to have a user on the conference.scipy.org server. This user needs to have your ssh keys and ssh connection should work fine. The user also needs to be added into the scipy group on the server to be allowed to publish new content.

To publish an updated website, just use make rsync after make publish.

Be careful, we do not backup the old website.
