  • Questions from people who attended the following talks:

    • Using .NET Libraries in CPython, by Feihong Hsu

    • End-user computing without tears using Resolver, an IronPython spreadsheet, by Giles Thomas

    • Python in your Browser with IronPython & Silverlight, by Michael Foord

  • Discussion about future directions of Python+.NET

  • Discussion of IronPython related projects like Ironclad (C Extensions from IronPython) and Coils (Static wrappers for IronPython classes)

  • Discussion of Python inspired languages on .NET, like Cobra and Boo, and the Dynamic Language Runtime
