Hey Simon,

Excellent!  I'm looking forward to meeting you.

The undo/redo buffer is one of many stumbling blocks to refactoring
Eeschema.  I would be more than happy to go over the current undo/redo
behavior and collaborate on what needs to be done to fix the current design.

I believe you need to be either a student or a professor to stay at the
CERN hostel.  You need to contact CERN directly for more information
about staying at the hostel.  Javier may be able to help out on that
front.  I was originally hoping to stay there myself so I didn't have to
burden anyone with driving me to and from the facility but as I do not
meet the criteria, I'm staying in a hotel just across the border in
France to keep the costs reasonable.  The lodging costs in Geneva were
too high for my tastes.  If you want to know where I'm staying, email me
off list and I will get you the information.

Cheers,

Wayne
