My best wishes to Wayne in his new role. I am looking forward to
collaborating with him and the rest of the KiCad community in this new
cycle.

Since we met in Grenoble in October 2011, it was clear to me that
KiCad was in very capable hands. Your presence in the team was key in
my decision to join the effort. You can definitely take a lot of
credit for CERN's contributions, and I hope our future developments
will be up to your standards.

I also would like to thank Jean-Pierre once again. KiCad's story is a
beautiful one, started by one man in a small French town, later joined
by people from all over the world. Merci Jean-Pierre.

Cheers,

Javier
