Markus's last minute OSCON card

The night before OSCON 08 I decided that I'd like to have business cards with my current contact information to hand out.

So I fired up OpenOffice, grabbed my wallpaper from the reticulum, looked up my new phone number on my blackberry, and in a few minutes I had a card.

But having no company or hot project at the moment it lacked a certain something. It had no spark. No hook. No weird little blurb in italics to make people say “Huh?”

A moment's contemplation led me to the obvious solution: I needed to open source the card. So I did.

They look like the image to the right.

And yes, I will consider accepting patches.

This is the source distribution. It consists of:

• The OpenOffice document for the card ( )

• The background image (my wallpaper from the reticulum); ( )

• The ruby code for generating the background image (GPL v 2)

Change log:

Rev 0.4 Corrected the URL to read “oscon” instead of “oscom”

Rev 0.3 Added license information, improved the wording in the availability source note.

Rev 0.2 Added a rev number, changed my name to mixed size caps

Rev 0.1 It's a card!
