Hey guys, I’ve added a new video to the ground control website and I’ve decided to show ogg video using the html5 tag, what do you think:

Introduction Video

I designed how it lays out on the page in css and the X in the corner to close it. I could have shown a flv (flash video) since I uploaded it to blip.tv, but I can link to the ogv file.

The video choices work via Server Side Includes, nothing complex. But logical.

What are your thoughts on the video I did with my wife? Some say it’s a bit too long but I’m inviting everyone to submit their ground control videos, show me what you do with ground control and how it helps you get involved.

Use gtk-RecordMyDesktop and post here your results.

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.

I’ve been trying to come up with some kind of brand for my ground control project, and it’s a bit of a hard one since I think my head is far too much in the code to be able to come up with something that is both easy to recognise and visible at small pixel widths.

This is my idea:

Thoughts?
