<Javier.Serrano@cern.ch> 7/25/16 to Wayne, me Hi guys,

If for whatever reason Wayne can't do it, here are a couple of alternative suggestions in the US:

- Chris Gammell [0]. He runs the KiCad forum [1] and gives KiCad courses [2].

- Adam Wolf, one of the active members of the KiCad community in the US [3].

I just found that Chris interviewed Adam in The Amp Hour back ion 2013! [4].

Cheers,

Javier
