+Keith and I just released version 0.8 of 
+[AltOS](http://altusmetrum.org/AltOS/), the open source firmware and
+softare system associated with our 
+[TeleMetrum](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleMetrum) hobby rocket avionics system.  
+
+The AltosUI ground station user 
+interface is significantly improved, with lots of new features including 
+a much cleaner view of what's happening during different stages of the flight
+experience, a post-flight data plotting interface with pan and zoom, and a
+very cool live view of where the rocket is overlayed on data from Google 
+Maps!  All existing TeleMetrum owners are encouraged to download, install, 
+and begin using this new version immediately.
