README

This template is based on the proposal files of OpenDreamKit, using LaTeX-proposal.

It is set for the FET-Open program and has been cleared of any personal and/or project-specific references. The git history has been deleted to avoid carrying about 100MB of project-specific data.

What you need to do

As a participant:

1. Create a file CVs/<First>.<Last>.tex, starting from CVs/template.tex
2. Read the description of the call.
3. Read the whole proposal.pdf file. Fix typos directly. Look for WRITE HERE comments with your initials, and implement them. Comment on the mailing list for other suggestions.

As leader of a workpackage

Edit the file WorkPackages/<WorkPackageName>.tex.

See WorkPackages/template.tex for further instructions.

As leader of a participating institution:

1. Send to PAR1P1 the PIC for your institution:

   http://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/portal/desktop/en/organisations/

2. Create a file Participants/<Institution>.tex, starting from Participants/template.tex
3. Check that the file is included in participants.tex, section Members of the Consortium
4. Double check the file participants.tex

Compiling the proposal

Compiling the proposal

Use the Makefile

make -B draft

or

make -B final

And you will get a draft.pdf resp. final.pdf file. You can also just compile the proposal by hand as a usual LaTeX file:

pdflatex proposal.tex

LaTeX syntax

Tasks:

\begin{task}[id=portability,title=Portability]
  ...
\end{task}

You can use the localtaskref{portability} inside the same work package to reference this task or taskref{management}{portability} outside (assuming that the task is in a begin{workpackage}[id=management] There are macros localtasktref and tasktref that also add the title.

Deliverables:

\begin{wpdeliv}[due=48,id=final-mgt-rep,dissem=R,nature=PU]
     {Project Final Report}
     The final report will a summary of all things in the project
\end{wpdeliv}

There is a title (in the {}) and - optionally - a text (a couple of lines) that further describes the deliverable. The nature of the deliverable should be specified using one of the following codes:

R = Report, P = Prototype, D = Demonstrator, O = Other

The dissemination level should be specified using one of the following codes:

PU = Public
PP = Restricted to other programme participants (including the Commission Services).
RE = Restricted to a group specified by the consortium (including the Commission Services).
CO = Confidential, only for members of the consortium (including the Commission Services).

Bibliography

If you need to add a bibTeX data base foo.bib, please commit it, and add a line addbibresource{foo.bib} near the other ones at the top of proposal.tex. We are using biblatex.sty because it is more versatile.
