fedora-business-cards 0.2

October 7th, 2008

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.

Fedora business cards, take 4

July 31st, 2008

Alright, hopefully the last one of these posts I have to make. Long discussions with Mo and other people, and I think we’ve hit on a good design. I’ll be pushing it at the marketing meeting for approval of people.

Notable changes: it now uses the 4 foundations instead of “infinity freedom voice”, which we are pushing out, hopefully in time for F10.

You can see all of the designs, but we’re most likely to go with #9f (this one).

Fedora business cards, take three

July 3rd, 2008

Máirín and I were talking about using the Fedora business card design, and how it should theoretically match whatever visual identity we do have right now, instead of creating a new one.

She and I agreed on this design.

What are everybody’s thoughts on this?

Fedora business cards, take two

July 1st, 2008

Here goes the next design I came up with after all the wonderful feedback I got.

List of changes:

2. Added “fedoraproject.org” to front
3. Removed GPG key fingerprint
4. Moved Fedora logo to top and inverse on blue bar
5. Created blue bars at top and bottom
6. Removed back

Once again: all feedback is required! Please comment :)

Fedora business cards

June 30th, 2008

I decided that we need a new business card design. Our current one just isn’t cutting it. Plus, I don’t think you need to be an ambassador to be allowed to have one.

I’ve printed a sheet off and I’ve taken pictures. Here they are:

I’m going to fix the templates slightly and make them available soon, along with a Python script that’ll make it even easier to make your own.

Edit: There was a concern that allowing anyone to have a Fedora business card could cause trademark dilution. I didn’t make it clear enough that by “anyone”, I meant anyone who has cla_done in FAS.

Thanks again for all the comments. :)
