[Scipy-organizers] Poster Guidelines

[sheila miguez]

Not at all.

Anyway, I've got the quick but less-than-awesome change up so that admins
can edit whatever they'd like on the same page as presentations

https://conference.scipy.org/scipy2014/participate/presentations/

For good measure I put edit boxes on the other participate pages.

Later on it would be good to have an all-in-one page for advice on giving
presentations.
