[yt-dev] SciPy abstract submission

[Nathan Goldbaum]

Hi all,

So there seems to be two issues with submitting our abstract.

First, there doesn't seem to be a way to add additional authors to the
abstract.  Matt, I think you're on the organizing committee for the
conference - is it appropriate for us to be submitting a talk with
more than one speaker?  How do I indicate that on the abstract
submission form.

Second, in addition to the abstract, which we've already written,
there needs to be a "Detailed Abstract" -- the form indicates this
should be an outline for the talk -- which will not be printed in the
program but will be made public on the conference website.  We'll need
to collectively write this before we can submit our talk for
consideration.
