CalConnect Interoperability Test Event
Google, Zürich, Switzerland
Last Updated 23 August 2012
The October 1-3 2012 CalConnect Interoperability Test Event
will take place just before and in conjunction with Roundtable XXV, hosted by
Google, in Zurich, Switzerland.
The event will take place all day (from 0830-1800) on Monday and Tuesday, and from
0830 to 1200 noon on Wednesday. Lunch and Morning and afternoon refreshments will
be served each day. All participants and observers are invited to a dinner Monday evening.
Please Note Well: It is our intention to make this Interoperability Test Event
as useful as possible for members and non-members. To this end we
welcome suggestions from interested parties on what they might want to test, and with
whom.
What Will Be Tested At This Event
As of 15 June 2012 the following areas will be tested:
- iSchedule
- CalDAV Access
- CalDAV Calendar Sharing and Notifications
- CalDAV Scheduling (including implicit scheduling)
- iMIP and iMIP Gateways
- CardDAV
- Timezone Service Protocol and Timezones by Reference
This list will be updated as additional testing areas are identified and requested by two or more testing organizations.
The following areas may also be tested if two or more testing organizations express interest:
- Web Services (CalWS REST and CalWS SOAP)
In all cases at least two participating organizations must be interested in testing
a particular area or scenario to form testing pairs.
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.

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.
CalConnect will invite all registered participants to two or three conference calls prior
to the event to discuss logistics, testing scenarios, etc.
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 Events 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
This page will be updated as more information becomes available or more areas are chosen for testing.
