[x3d-public] helps wanted for the original slideset of X3D python assets? Re: native Python package for X3D

[Brutzman, Donald (Don) (CIV)]

Masaki, thanks for your note and encouragement and steady engagement.

I believe that referred to a slideset during last year's ISO SC 24 meeting where you proposed an X3D Language Binding for Java.  Might be mistaken.

If you have anything from back then, please send.  Otherwise never mind, no need for something new at this point.

Looking forward to a growing set of work together and also seeing you in Japan next month.  Take care.

v/r Don
