[x3d-public] [x3d] meet 25August 2016: Java SAI and X3D Object Model (corrected)

[Jagathshree Suryanarayanan Iyer]

Thank you Dr. Brutzman, it was a great talking to you. I will go through
the links that you have shared and also, I will be happy to take advice
from the X3D community for my project.

Unfortunately, I could not join the call yesterday and missed the
opportunity to talk to other members of the working group here. I am
looking forward to one in future.

Best Regards,
Jagathshree
