Name badges and participation certificates for Brainhack events

This repository contains the tools to create name badges and participation certificates for Brainhack events.

A .csv file containing the names and affiliations of event attendees is required to make the badges and certificates.

Making name cards and certificates for your event

1. Create a .csv containing names and affiliations for your attendees. See example_namelist.csv for an example.
2. Modify template_id_cards.tex and template_certificate.tex to fit your event. to reflect your event information and the filename of your participant list.
3. template_certificate.tex will additionally need to modified to contain the name of the local event chair, and a PDF of their signature. Note that the current signature in the data/signature folder is a mock signature and does not and cannot be accounted for anyone's signature or endorsement.
4. Compile the cards and certificates into a PDF using pdflatex, for example:

pdflatex template_certificate.tex

or

pdflatex template_id_cards.tex

You can upload the files to Sharelatex or Overleaf and compile them there or install LaTeX on your local system.
