User:Ianweller/Proposed business card format changes

Here are some proposed changes to create the Fedora Business Card layout 2.1. 2.0 (the current version) will be deprecated, but nobody will kill you if you still have 2.0 cards (the differences are small).

Fonts

The font for the editable text shall be changed to Liberation Sans (Bold for the name).

• This is brought on by concerns that some names can not be printed in MgOpen Moderna (the current font) because it is missing a ton of necessary glyphs for names like Máirín.
• Font sizes will stay the same.

Against

--Duffy 17:47, 1 July 2009 (UTC) my name's not supported but i still think this is a bad idea. can we find an mgopen modata deriv that has the accents?
-- --wonderer 18:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC) refering to http://www.dafont.com/Liberation-Sans.Font there should be the accent in it ... maybe i'm wrong here...
--Jack 18:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC) Agree with Mo, on principle

Telephone number: international format

Telephone number: Fedora Talk extension

Replace "x" to symbolize the Fedora Talk extension with "ext." for readability.

Against

--Duffy 17:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC) i've never seen 'ext' on a biz card before, x is pretty clear
--Jack 18:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC) I don't think we need Fedora Talk extensions on the cards you can easily look it up and it doesn't add anything to people who are outside FAS

The GPG fingerprint/key debate

Add an additional "optional backside" to the card that is white and contains only the cardholder's name, their GPG key ID, and their GPG fingerprint.

• When using this option, the GPG key ID will be removed from the front of the card. It will remain if the option is not used.
• A lot of people have requested that their full fingerprint be printed on the card, but it won't fit on the front. We hope this can help resolve that problem.

-- GeroldKa 19:01, 1 July 2009 (UTC).

Against

-- lcafiero 17:32, 1 July 2009 (UTC). I don't understand how having a full fingerprint on a business card is beneficial or necessary.
--Duffy 17:48, 1 July 2009 (UTC) i dont think the full fingerprint is ever necessary. better to keep the back of the card clean for notetaking which is what many people use them for
--Jack 18:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC)We don't need the whole fingerprint just the key id/last 5

Translatable foundations

Make the "freedom friends features first" text translatable into other languages.

For

This is not something I would use personally, but seems like it would be nice for those whose native language is not english --Nb 16:44, 1 July 2009 (UTC).
--YN1V 17:51, 1 July 2009 (UTC) I would suggest to get hold on official translations --Jack 18:23, 1 July 2009 (UTC) Yeah, why not pending we can approve this

--wonderer 18:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC) The "slogan" should IMHO always stay as it.\
