The mailing list for users of the eduroam Configuration Assistant Tool (CAT)

[Philippe YARD <philippe.yard AT gmail.com>]

Dear Stefan,

Don't worry, it is also possible for me in english, I'm beginning in
French Language because I found your QR code in ParisTech, I imagine to
speak to the Frenchman in the office at Paris. Now I unterstood that
your organization is around the world, Good thing!

I have some rests of PHP programming from Switzerland and network
configuration with linux, aix... Window Phone is more a new hobby and
find a issue to solve is a good point to start for me.

Could you explain me howto do you want to meet me ? at Luxembourg ? by
Skype ? In function, I will find some dates.

Best Regards,
