Here's the news for March - rather hastily thrown together I'm afraid, as I'm pretty busy on ZFS Root/Install test work (which hopefully will make next month's news :-) So as usual, the standard disclaimer applies: if you know of other interesting stuff that's going on, feel free to add a comment to this post.

I'm presenting this month and last month's news at the IE-OSUG meeting tonight so watch our podcast feed for the audio commentary when we get tonight's episode posted.
