CalConnect Interoperability Test Events
Menlo Park, California
The February 4-5 CalConnect Interoperability Test Events of The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium
will take place just before and in conjunction with Roundtable XI, hosted by Sun Microsystems in
Menlo Park, California.
The events will take place all day (from 0800-1800) on Monday and Tuesday, ending at 1800 on Tuesday evening.
Note that this differs from our previous practice of scheduling the test events
from noon on Monday until noon on Wednesday.
Two Interoperability Test Events are planned: a "regular" event testing calendaring
servers and clients, and a Mobile Calendaring test event based on the
Mobile Calendar Interoperability Test Suite.
These events will take place in parallel, but in different rooms.
Specific scenarios for the "regular" 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. 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
C.I.T.E. event is welcome whether or not they are a Consortium member. Note
that an organization, member or not, may only observe one C.I.T.E. event.
Venue and Logistics
Please see Roundtable XI for logistics and schedule information
for this event.
Registration
Please see CalConnect Interoperability Test Event Registration Fees for information
about event registration fees. To register to participate in the event please select
C.I.T.E. Participant Registration.
To register to observe the event please select
C.I.T.E. Observer Registration.
Registration for the C.I.T.E. covers both the regular and the mobile calendaring
IOP test events if both are being held. If only one is being held, then the
registration fee applies to that event only.
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 interoperability 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.
