The goal of badgeyay is to provide a simple badge generator with the following features:

• a simple web UI to add data and generate printable badges in a zip
• Fields should include:
  • choose size of badges
  • choose background of badges and upload logo and background image
  • upload CSV or copy/paste text for badges including name, type of attendee, nick/handle, organization/project

This first step is to provide a simple script to generate the badges for the FOSSASIA conference. The next step is to provide a web UI.

If you like to join developing,

• you can chat on gitter, mentioning the maintainers.
• you can find/create issues and solve them.
  • When you solve an issue, you do not own it. Share your progress via a Pull-Requst as soon as possible.
  • Discuss with others who work on the issue about the best solution. It is your responsibility, not the maintainer's to choose the best solution.
• If in doubt, let's follow CCCC.

• The input is a set of csv files in the same folder, UTF-8.
• The csv file is named after the badge type to take. Example: vip.png.csv uses the picture vip.png.
• The CSV has up to 4 columns for the name and the twitter handle. They will be filled if this number is filled:
  • __X_
  • __XX
  • _XXX
  • XXXX

The output file is svg / pdf / multipage pdf of size A3. Each badge has the size A6. The outputs are in a folder derived form the input csv. The outputs can be either of the two types, viz ZIPs or PDFs, or both. User has the choice to choose from either of the two or from both of them.

You can change the font style, font size, color etc from the .svg file in the folder badges. Inkscape is generally used for editing of such files.

You need Ubuntu.

You can run the merge_badges.py file. It generates badges for every csv file and combines them to one. There is a travis build which build the badges automatically. When a PR is merged into the master branch, the current badges can be downloaded.

First fork the main repo https://github.com/fossasia/badgeyay. Then clone your local repo. Go to badgeyay/app directory (cd badgeyay/app). run 'python main.py' to start server. Remember 'main.py' should only be executed from app directory.

This is an Open Source project and we would be happy to see contributors who report bugs and file feature requests submitting pull requests as well. Please report issues in the GitHub tracker.
