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.
Currently the website is a set of static pages generated by Pelican. The generated content is uploaded to our server sponsored by Enthought. Contact [email protected] 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:
$ git clone [email protected]:aterrel/conference.scipy.org.git
