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.

-== Get the card generator ==
-First, you need some packages from yum.
- sudo yum install mgopen-fonts python-fedora pygpgme inkscape
-Soon, you won't need Inkscape; we're working on a way to do it with Cairo's Python bindings and the like.
-The generator is a Python script stored in a git repository on fedorapeople.org. Clone it.
- git clone git://fedorapeople.org/~ianweller/fedora-business-cards.git
-== Generate the card ==
-In the fedora-business-cards repo, run
- make
-This will ask you to login to FAS, download the default information, and create the [[#Default layout|default business card]], which is what we highly recommend you use.
-If you get an error, see [[#Overriding information]] and [[#Errors]].
-=== Passing options to the generator ===
-Get potential options by running
- python generate.py -h
-and pass options like this:
- make GENERATE_OPTIONS="''OPTIONS''"
-The default for the <code>--info</code> option is <code>email,phone,irc,url,blank,gpgid</code>.
-=== Using a GPG fingerprint instead of the key ID ===
-{{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:
- make GENERATE_OPTIONS="--info=email,phone,irc,url,blank,gpgfingerprint"
-=== Overriding information ===
-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.
-* Generating a card for someone else? <code>--override-username=''USERNAME''</code>
-* 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"</code>
-== Errors ==
-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.
-<code>%s</code> is a wildcard in these cases.
+: With the <code>--cmyk-pdf</code> option.
-*<code>--info count can't be greater than 6</code>
+Can I change the DPI of my cards?
-::You can't have more than 6 things in <code>--info</code>. Deal with it.
-*<code>%s not valid for --info</code>
+: Use the <code>-d</code> option.
-::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>
+What if I find a bug, or I want a new feature?
-::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>
+: 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.
-::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 ==
+What if I want to contribute?
-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.}}
