[opensuse-artwork] Firefox persona for openSUSE
by Atri Bhattacharya 15 Jun '10

Hi! Since v 3.6 Firefox supports light themes called personas. I think it will be nice to have a default opensuse-themed persona on Firefox by default for 11.3. -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] Business Cards
by Pavol Rusnak 03 Apr '10

03 Apr '10

Hello fellow artists! I started a small hack at http://gitorious.org/opensuse/business-cards (checkout with git clone git://gitorious.org/opensuse/business-cards.git like the page says). This repo contains a small shellscript and a template. When the script is run it asks for the user details and uses the template to generate customized business cards. I tried to create a nice template, but I'm not an artist, so ... :-) If you have time you can look at the template and I'm very open to your suggestions. Thanks for your time! -- Best Regards / S pozdravom, Pavol RUSNAK SUSE LINUX, s.r.o openSUSE Boosters Team Lihovarska 1060/12 PGP 0xA6917144 19000 Praha 9, CR prusnak[at]suse.cz http://www.suse.cz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

Hi all. The design of planet.opensuse.org is quite outdated and does not fit with the rest of the site. What about updating the theme? Best Regards Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-artwork] Business cards as SVG or glabels (was: Business Cards)

Indeed, they're excellent. As a general note, it would be a lot more practical to have the business cards as SVG and/or glabels [1][2] templates The nice trick with SVG is that it's an XML file, and you can easily use placeholders for first name, last name, etc... (e.g. @@FIRSTNAME@@, @@LASTNAME@@, ...) and then use sed and rview-convert to render them in a batch (to PNG, PDF, ...). That's how the release countdown is done [3] :) The cleaner solution would be an XSL transformation (e.g. using xsltproc) but in this case it's really simple enough to use sed (or perl or whatever). Such a script could be like this, just to give you an idea: ---8<------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/bash # Usage: script <Firstname> <Lastname> <Email> # e.g.: script John Doe john.doe(a)opensuse.org set -e # exit on error TEMPLATE=bcard.svg FIRSTNAME="$1" LASTNAME="$2" EMAIL="$3" WIDTH=400 HEIGHT=300 # create a unique, temporary working directory, and delete it # when exiting the script (either on success or error, or signal) WORKDIR="" function on_exit { [ -n "$WORKDIR" ] && /bin/rm -rf "$WORKDIR"; } trap on_exit EXIT WORKDIR="$(mktemp -d /tmp/bcard-XXXXXXXX)" # replace the placeholders with the parameters that were passed # to the script: cat "$TEMPLATE" | sed " s|@@FIRSTNAME@@|$FIRSTNAME|g; s|@@LASTNAME@@|$LASTNAME|g; s|@@EMAIL@@|$EMAIL|g; " > "$WORKDIR/bcard.svg" # and now convert the working file into a PDF: rsvg-convert --width="$WIDTH" --height="$HEIGHT" \ --keep-aspect-ratio --background-color=white --format=pdf \ --output=./bcard.pdf "$WORKDIR/bcard.svg" ---8<------------------------------------------------------------------- Of course, something like that could also be available as a CGI, something like http://bcard.opensuse.org/?firstname=John&lastname=Doe&email=john.doe@opens… and it would give back the PDF. As a matter of fact, glabel supports images in SVG format, so another idea could be to do the whole template with Inkscape, as SVG, except for the name and email address and such, and import that into glabels. That way it would work with both.
