Yeah -- the copyright ended up to me accidentally because I filled it 
out as the "author" field in Sphinx in the original version. I think if 
we want to have an "author" it should say "Scipy Conference Organizers" 
(without copyright), and maybe we give Nelle some well deserved credit 
for the web design as well.

Recent versions of pip don't like pytz's version numbering scheme. It's not
quite clear which end will fix this:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/pytz/+bug/1204837

I was able to fix the last two problems and I uploaded a new binary 
installer to the location mentioned above. It still will delete 
python-dateutil under some circumstances (not fully tested, but the last 
one would not trash it if it was installed by pip, but would trash it if 
installed by the matplotlib 1.2.1 binary installer). I could imagine 
making it the official installer anyway, for lack of anything better. 
But it's certainly not ideal.
It is surely not that hard to make an installer that can also install 
other packages. But it's not something I have time to investigate right 
now.
BTW: pip refuses to install pytz for me, claiming a suitable version was 
not found, and listing dozens of versions. Anyone else seen this? I 
don't recall seeing it before recently. I ended up downloading the 
source and using distutils.

Because of the differences of size and shape in the images, it's hard to do
a design that display them all completely in the carousel. Hence, one of
them is truncated. Only one of them (the first place) should be truncated.
Note that in the gallery, images are also cropped.
Also, so far, I only tested this on chrome and firefox (and an old version
of chromium). There might be issues with IE.
And it hasn't been optimized for very small screens (smartphones). It's not
completely awful, but it's not nice either. I hope to fix that soon.
I fixed the copyright (Github takes a while to update the pages, hence it
might not be up yet).

Doh, I never got the site up! This looks good, although copyright
shouldn't go to Michael. We don't have copyright on the images or
text just permission to display them. (I would probably just delete
it or be specific what the copyright is.) I like the idea of having a
site next to conference.scipy.org to display these.

Hi everyone,
Here is my attempt at making the website:
http://nellev.github.io/tmp/jhepc/index.html
This is still work in progress, but feedback is welcomed.
I chose to display only the "winners" (three top place + honorable mention).
Cheers,
N

Hi Mike,
thanks a lot for providing these numbers...
I think for now, the plan we hatched at the dev meeting continues to
look reasonable (integrate interactive webagg support into the
%matplotlib magic so it would be seamless to users on localhost or
very open networks). But the fact that the overhead is lower than
we'd thought lends weight to the idea of giving mpl an easier way to
integrate this functionality into our existing design before we cross
the binary ws bridge...
One way or another, exciting times!
Cheers,
f
