fedora-business-cards 0.2
I’ve released fedora-business-cards, the Fedora business card generator (aptly named, eh?) as version 0.2.
Tarball - Specfile and SRPM - git repository
This is a prerelease version; I don’t make any guarantees of its usability, functionality, or awesomeness. There are two known bugs: I haven’t written any new documentation, and letters with accent marks (such as “Máirín Duffy”) don’t show up properly in the MgOpen Moderna font. Both are being worked on.
I don’t plan to put it in Fedora until I get a tangible release, possibly with a graphical frontend (not highly necessary, though). Running
fedora-business-cards --help
after installing should help you get started; the CLI interface is pretty straightforward.
And yeah, you need a FAS account to create these.

What is the advantage of using this over manually editing a SVG file? or maybe over editing a gLabels file?
@nicu: Well, yeah, if you want, you can certainly do it that way. This is to make it slightly easier and automatically fill in the default information as recommended by Mo, Paul, and I.
Hopefully we’ll be able to get rid of the inkscape requirement and find a way to properly render the SVG without it, although it’s not looking too good. I’ll be creating a gLabels template, too… it might require some refactoring of the code, though.
How to use? any suggestions?
@Charles: I’m writing some documentation this weekend, hopefully that’ll help you. The –help switch should provide enough general data to help you use it, however… but the documentation will definitely help.
Hi,
Just using it, looks great :)
However, what does the line (1) corresponds to ?
It says it connected to FAS, then fetched my personal infos (that’s nice by the way :), and this line is now:
(919) 424-0063 x 5100753
I have absolutely no idea what that means ^_^
@bochecha: That’s the talk.fedoraproject.org number for Raleigh and your extension. You can change it. I plan to write in a feature for the next version that will hide that line if you don’t have Fedora Talk turned on in FAS.
hmmmm
Does it mean that anyone can join me using this number if I’m using something like ekiga with my FAS account ? o_O
(as a side note, what is « Raleigh » ? :D)
@bochecha: Yeah. And of course, you can remove the phone number from the card if you like, or change it with another phone number.
Raleigh is a city in North Carolina, USA where Red Hat’s main offices are located.
