[PO] Like last year, the conference was great fun with interesting presentations and face-to-face talks with other Tclers.
Thanks to Luc, Jean and the other co-organizers.

[Martyn Smith] I would like to join Paul in saying that it was a great conference and thanks to all at IGBMC for their great welcome.

[RZ] I would like to join in the thanks to the IGBMC people. It was really nice.

[stevel] would like to thank Luc and whoever else organised the video stream - very much appreciated

[AM] Adrien Peulvast and [Eric Boudaillier] presented a very interesting system for railway signalling, showing the capabilities of an extension of the canvas widget (or rather tkpath's version of that). One aspect of that was relatively easy to implement in the standard canvas: [Attracting objects on the canvas]

[DKF]: A few notes on what I think people at EuroTcl were looking for this year. Note that these notes are based on talking to a lot of people and they deliberately exclude things that are strongly on the 8.6 workplan (especially: [thread] extension, Tk-4-Cocoa)
   * '''[Tcl]'''
   ** [IPv6]
   ** [UDP] (including a datagram-oriented model; [tcludp] is not enough here)
   ** Unix-domain sockets
   ** Asynchronous name lookup
   ** Flexible array back-ends though some kind of [SPI] (so can support [BLT] [vector] better)
   * '''[Tk]'''
   ** More widgets
   ** [BLT] (especially [graph])
   ** [Megawidget]s
My list also includes GC-for-[TclOO], but that's ''my'' desire and not others...
