Events:

Linux Mint Xfce RC (201104) was released
mintCast released five podcast episodes, including interviews with Boo and Justin: #54, #55, #56, #57 and #58

Summary:

March started with some very bad news. Due to personal circumstances Ikey had to focus on his personal life and could no longer work on Linux Mint.
The mintCast project was extremely successful and released 5 quality episodes, interviewing 2 team members.
The LXDE edition was released as stable and the Xfce edition switched to Debian.
From a financial point of view, none of the figures were bad, but none were particular high either. The overall daily income went down by 6%.
Improvements were made to the Update Manager and the Desktop Settings tool for the upcoming Mint 11 and LMDE.
In April, improvements should be made to the Software Manager and time will be spent in testing our desktop, including new packages such as LibreOffice and Firefox 4 and making sure upstream changes related to Gnome and Unity don’t impact it in any negative way.
