RE: Conf Call Agenda Mar 5th

Hi All!

Just FYI -- examotion is currently working on a soon-to-be-released
professional component set for SVG that includes a very clean and optimized
class structure to extend and inherit controls as well as some kind of
signal-slot system and a lot of styling possibilities using css and/or
external svg files.

mfG / Regards,
Alexander Adam
