Break in Schedule

March sees a break in schedule with Ducas Francis heading down from Sydney to give us a session on Visual Studio 2010 Tips and Tricks. This session was originally to run in April but with the Australian ALM Conference on the 13th and 14th we have decided to bring the meeting forward.
