Mockup of new Fedora Business Cards template (161.71 KB, image/png)

Description Ryan Rix 2011-04-01 22:50:06 UTC
Description of problem:
Fedora business cards templates lacks many important features to business card users. Without these features, I'm afraid that it is unusable by many of Fedora's contributors.

Specifically, it is not yet possible with Fedora Business Cards to embed important details that all Fedora contributors find important such as:
* Number of times they have flamed someone in fedora-devel
* Number of times they have been kickbanned by EvilBob
* How many Fedora live images they have laying around their home
* Number of times Lennart has written a blog story at them
* Number of FUDPubs they attended but don't remember

All of these things are critical for Fedora contributors to be able to share and talk about, and the business cards help out with this. I believe such features as these are necessary, and that fedora-business-cards in its current form is dirty like zebra.

Also, alternate languages aren't supported well. I would like to be able to make klingon business cards for the Trek conventions I go to, but that's material for another bug report. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Current/all versions

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run fedora-business-cards
2. Weep uncontrollably
  
Actual results:
My body in a huddled mass in a corner under my desk, uncontrollably sobbing, yelling something about "choice" and "software freedom".

Expected results:
Uncontrollable happiness as I run to AlphaGraphics to have 9001 fedora-business-cards printed to distribute to my friends.

Additional info:
I will attach a mockup of a new business card design.

Sorry, you didn't provide an appropriate type face for business card templates in Klingon and also did not provide the template in the needed SVG format.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to permanently close this bug forever and ever and ever.
