Poster template is a LaTeX template for creating A0 size posters specifically for scientific conferences. It is designed to work with pdftex/pdflatex. For this reason, it uses TikZ instead of pstricks.
This template depends on the document class a0poster. A0poster is available from http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/a0poster/.

./waf build.
There are some comments in the files that will help you while you're editing.
You can remove all files created by the build with ./waf distclean. The
build is removed by ./waf clean.
For convenience, ./waf build --view opens the poster in your standard
PDF viewer after it is built.
