[JoPP-Public] Sponsorship to the JoPP board

Tue Oct 27 19:50:32 CET 2015

Welcome, Panos!

happy to be working with you in the future.

On a personal note: please connect to FabLab Zurich, Yves Ebnöther (if you don't know then already) whom I've put in CC

Hope to meet you some time in person -- are you Zurich-based at all?

/ Peter
