Getting Started

To get started, do

$ opam init 
$ make xml-light
$ make

this will get you to "regenerate" the popl18 brochure as a start :)

Customizing

To customize for your conference, e.g. POPL19:

1. UPDATE the various TEX files in tex/*.tex with the POPL19 information

2. DOWNLOAD the POPL19 xml file from researchr.

3. EDIT the script in src/schedule_parser.ml to have the sessions, chairs, event information for your conference.

   There is some trick to (2) that escapes me now, but the web-chair should be able to get it (there was some clicking around on the website involved).

Main Skeleton of Brochure

• tex/main.tex

WRITE the following files

• tex/preface.tex
• tex/aec-report.tex
• tex/committees.tex
• tex/keynotes.tex
• tex/social.tex
• tex/sponsors.tex

GENERATE the following files

• out/overview.tex
• out/schedule.tex

These above two files are "generated" by the script

• src/schedule_parser.ml

which has a bunch of conference-specific information thats visible in the script itself, AND takes as input the actual conference schedule information in the .xml file

• xml/popl18-info.xml

that you can "export" from the researchr website.

Pull requests most welcome!
