This problem was found in v0.7.2 with a redmine installation on a company server without direct access to the public internet.

When generating cards the plugin appears to hang. To generate a card for a single story takes around 3 minutes. Apparently the problem is caused by the Template::render method when it attempts to access gravatar. The site will be unreachable and the plugin will stop until the timeout.

Commenting out lines 337 to 342 in lib/backlogs_cards.rb solves the problem but a better solution would be good. Maybe a setting in the plugin to not use gravatar? Anyway I guess removing the Image Object from the glabels template would work also as a work-around until the problem is solved.
