This is the specification to be used for Fedora business cards.

Front of card

It is recommended that you keep your information in this format, but not required. It's your business card — put what you need on it. (This includes the title under your name; it can read "Fedora Project Contributor" or "Doer of Stuff".)

Optional back of card

Dark background
This background can be difficult to write on and for some people may be a reason to not put this on the back of your card. As said, it is optional.

-=== Passing options to the generator ===
+== Frequently Questioned Answers ==
-Get potential options by running
+How do I export a PDF in CMYK format?
- python generate.py -h
-and pass options like this:
+: With the <code>--cmyk-pdf</code> option.
- make GENERATE_OPTIONS="''OPTIONS''"
-The default for the <code>--info</code> option is <code>email,phone,irc,url,blank,gpgid</code>.
+Can I change the DPI of my cards?
-=== Using a GPG fingerprint instead of the key ID ===
+: Use the <code>-d</code> option.
-{{admon/note|We prefer the key ID|Key fingerprints can be confusing and can also fall off the card due to length. We advise against using a key fingerprint.}}
-Simply replace the <code>gpgid</code> option in <code>--info</code> with <code>gpgfingerprint</code>. Like so:
+What if I find a bug, or I want a new feature?
- make GENERATE_OPTIONS="--info=email,phone,irc,url,blank,gpgfingerprint"
-=== Overriding information ===
+: File it in the issue queue at [https://pagure.io/fedora-business-cards/issues/ code repository]. If you find a packaging issues, please file it at [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?product=Fedora&version=rawhide&component=fedora-business-cards Red Hat Bugzilla] — product Fedora, component fedora-business-cards.
-Let's say you don't want to use your @fedoraproject.org email, or your talk.fedoraproject.org extension. Use the <code>--override-*</code> options.
-Before overriding information, we recommend adding useful information to FAS.
+What if I want to contribute?
-* Generating a card for someone else? <code>--override-username=''USERNAME''</code>
+: Clone the git repo: '''git clone https://pagure.io/fedora-business-cards.git'''. Pull Request Welcome!
-* Don't have a GPG key ID in FAS, but want to use it on your card? <code>--override-gpgid=''A1B2C3D4''</code>
-* Want to become Inigo Montoya? <code>--override-name="Inigo Montoya"
-== Errors ==
+[[Category:Marketing]] [[Category:Events]]
-Errors come in the form of a <s>delicious birthday cake</s> Python traceback. Generally the last string in the traceback is what we'll use here.
-%s is a wildcard in these cases.
-<code>--info count can't be greater than 6</code>
-:You can't have more than 6 things in <code>--info</code>. Deal with it.
-<code>%s not valid for --info</code>
-:You used an invalid option for <code>--info</code>. Maybe your code base is old and it needs a <code>git pull</code>.
-<code>Couldn't get PGP fingerprint for key %s</code>
-:The generator script will attempt to get your GPG key and get the fingerprint, if you don't have the key handy. If it can't, it throws this.
-<code>No IRC nick for %s, use override</code> and <code>No GPG key ID for %s, use override</code>
-:This data isn't available in FAS, either due to privacy restrictions or nonexistance. Either add the information to FAS, use <code>--override-irc</code> or <code>--override-gpgid</code>, or remove <code>irc</code> or <code>gpgid</code> and <code>gpgfingerprint</code> from <code>--info</code>.
-== Successful printers ==
-For those that don't want to print cards themselves and go with an online distributor, these printers have been used by other Fedora Project members and are happy with them.
-{{admon/warning|Disclaimer|These businesses are not sanctioned or related to the Fedora Project in any way, unless they are and I don't know about it.}}
-(No businesses yet. Add yours!)
