CalConnect Interoperability Test Event
Redmond, Washington
The February 2-4 2009 CalConnect Interoperability Test Event of The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium
will take place just before and in conjunction with Roundtable XIV, hosted by
Microsoft in Redmond, Washington.
The events will take place all day (from 0800-1800) on Monday and Tuesday, and from
0800 to 1200 noon on Wednesday. Breakfast, lunch, and snacks at breaks will
be served each day.
This IOP Test Event will be a "regular" event testing calendaring
servers and desktop clients. The next Mobile Calendaring IOP Test Event
has not yet been scheduled, but will happen later in 2009.
Specific scenarios for the IOP test event are being developed but at this point we expect to have
iCalendar/iMIP/iTIP scenarios, interoperability
testing to determine the minimum interoperability subset for CALSIFY work ongoing
in the IETF, and CalDAV testing, especially focused on CalDAV Scheduling. Interested parties are encouraged to join in
the preliminary remote IOP testing jabber events; please contact us for further
information.
Please note that you do not need finished or polished code to participate
in the IOP testing; in fact as soon as you have something working at all, testing
against other participants can help debugging and code development,
especially in identifying red herrings and wrong decisions.
Who May Participate or Observe
Any vendor or organization wishing to test a calendaring and
scheduling implementation, or a mobile calendaring server or client, is welcome to participate whether or not
they are a Consortium member. Note that Consortium members
receive a substantial discount on their CalConnect Interoperability Test Event registration
fee.
Any vendor or organization wishing to observe the
IOP Test Event is welcome whether or not they are a Consortium member. Note
that an organization, member or not, may only observe one IOP Test Event.
Venue and Logistics
Please see CalConnect XIV for logistics and schedule information

Interoperability Event Scenarios
If you are planning to participate, please contact us to let us know which interoperability event
scenarios you wish to pursue or if you would like to propose a new scenario.
Co-Located Consortium Roundtable
CalConnect Interoperability Test Event participants who are not Consortium members will not be able to participate in the
other Consortium activities unless their organization is an observer at this Roundtable.
However, a non-member organization
participating in the IOP Test Event can join the
Consortium at the event, become a member immediately,
and be able to participate as a member in the technical committee and
roundtable meetings.
Further Information
Detailed information including logistics, testing goals and
scenarios will be posted on this page as soon as it is available.
Please check this page frequently for updates.
If you have any question, please contact Dave Thewlis
at the Consortium.
