Hi Michael,

cool. FYI I am based in Lausanne myself. Little time these days, but
happy to help (have two XOs, know at least one person in Lausanne who
has another one; should be able to get more from Michele in Bern).

Keep us (mailing list) in the loop about what you do at the EPFL!

Regards,
Michael
