I'll refer you to the announcement at: <a href="http://doctormo.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/ground-control-demonstration" target="_blank">http://doctormo.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/ground-control-demonstration</a> I spent some time in a few sessions with Doctor MO (Martin Owens) at the last UDS and no doubt this should be an exciting development. "Ground control is a project that hopes to bring the collaboration of Launchpad and Bazaar branches to every day users abilities. It does away with the need for a command line and has removed a lot of the complex distractions leaving a simplified workflow for users to follow. It uses all the existing libraries and practices of the community, so if you need to move back to the command line you can continue were you left off. It’s also flexible enough to allow you to manage your existing bazaar checkouts via nautilus. If your want to." I encourage all loco team contacts to translate the original announcement and circulate it around your team members. There is also a video which I believe shows why this is important. But don't take my word for it, take a look: <a href="http://blip.tv/file/3141629" target="_blank">http://blip.tv/file/3141629</a> Cheers, Fabian Rodriguez Ubuntu Quebec LoCo Team -- loco-contacts mailing list <a href="mailto:loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com">loco-contacts@lists.ubuntu.com</a> <a href="https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts" target="_blank">https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts</a> </div>
