200 Artist/Designers!

Posted in Art and Creation, Free and Open Source Software, Ubuntu on April 23rd, 2010 by doctormo

Our devientArt group has been growing every day for the past two months and I’m very impressed that it now contains 200 members who can post images to the galleries and 268 watchers (people who can’t post but who do see other people’s work).

If you have an article or piece of news that you’d like relayed to this burgeoning Ubuntu artists community, do let me know right away and I’ll post it as a blog entry. We’ve already posted entries about gimp ui changes, inkscape competition and mypaint guides. We are looking for more contributions and sharing of methods, we don’t get many icon makers either considering the number of them making lovely graphics I’d expect more to be posting examples of tango icons.

Now as a happy time reward, go pick yourself up a wallpaper from the gallery: Wallpaper Gallery

Ground Control 1.6 and Website

Posted in Art and Creation, Programming and Technical, Ubuntu on April 23rd, 2010 by doctormo

Hey everyone,

I’m pleased to announce the release of Ground Control 1.6, these feature features minor improvements and fixes but the main change is fixing the launchpad openid problem that stopped all new users of ground control from enjoying the integration.

I’m also pleased to announce the new ground control website which was very kindly designed by Brett Alton and produced by myself for this release. You can get the new version 1.6 from the download link on the website and please do use the Latest / PPA as the version in Lucid is 1.5 and still suffers from the launchpad openid login bug.

Any thoughts and comments please post them here, but any bugs please post them to the launchpad bug tracker.
