We are very excited to announce the final release of ePADD v3.0, which introduces an entity merge interface, unique IDs, greater customization options, UI changes, and other minor fixes. You can grab the new version, and view the complete release notes on Github. 

Some additional news:

Additionally, ePADD will be co-sponsoring an overnight Hackathon in connection with that conference, which will run from March 31-April 1. A separate announcement with more information about the hackathon will go out soon.
