it is the one labeled BarCampATL3 at the bottom of the page.

The GUI tool is very straight forward, but gives you a LOT of control  
and options.  Check out the "presets" that have all the options worked

Once you figure out your own set of options/tweaks you can save them  
as a preset that way you can use them over and over again.
