Interesting that the #SC26 panel submission process

1. Only provides a template in LaTeX, and
2. The template implies that panelists should all have University affiliations

I don't think this reflects how most of the world works these days.

@glennklockwood implies how? I find (2) more curious than (1) because of the presence and influence of the national labs.
I actually find it fine if they default to assuming academia, but university is strange.

@hattom I’ve never encountered LaTeX in any of the industry jobs I’ve held or in any of my commercial partners’ work. Step one for me was to convert the template to docx (which required Overleaf, because I’m not downloading GBs of TeX rendering stuff) so that I could work on a proposal with my teammates who have never written journal articles before.

@glennklockwood @hattom FWIW, in my industry job we use LaTeX occasionally for documentation, and pretty much all of my immediate colleagues are familiar with it.

@abarker @hattom Impressive. Only academic types have even know what to make of TeX in my experience; docx or GDocs is the lingua franca of lawyers, program managers, comms and marketing, sales, etc, so collaborating with them on anything requires using Word/GSuite
