Roundtable VIII -- 29 January to 2 February 2007

CalConnectSM Interoperability Test Event - 29-31 January
Roundtable VIII - 31 January - 2 February

As of January 18, 2007


The Eighth Roundtable of The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium, together with a CalConnect Interoperability Test Event (C.I.T.E.), will be held in Provo, Utah, Monday-Friday, 29 January to 2 February, 2007, hosted by Novell.

The C.I.T.E. interoperability testing will take place from noon Monday January 29 to noon Wednesday January 31 (two full days). The Roundtable will begin with lunch Wednesday at 12:30 January 31 and run through lunch on Friday February 2 (two full days). (There may be optional events scheduled on Wednesday morning prior to the start of the formal Roundtable but nothing has been finalized as yet.)

Please note: a small number of C.I.T.E. observers may register for the IOP test event, as distinct from observers at the Roundtable. Unlike the Roundtable, C.I.T.E. Observers may be from members or non-members; see Observers at CalConnect Events for more information.


Registration:

Registration information for the Roundtable may be found at Roundtable Registration; registration information for the C.I.T.E. IOP Test Event is at C.I.T.E. Participant Registration or at C.I.T.E. Observer Registration. Please be aware that you must register separately for the Roundtable and for the IOP test event if you plan to do both. Observers for either the Roundtable or the C.I.T.E. must also register via the appropriate registration form.

C.I.T.E. IOP Test Event: Interoperability testing will comprise multiple scenarios including CalDAV server and client testing, Min-IOP testing, and iCalendar, iTIP, iMIP interoperability testing. A special series of tests is planned for Extended Daylight Saving Time support, to go into effect in March of 2007.

The C.I.T.E. interoperability testing event is open to members and non-members (and to participants and observers); please see IOP January 2006 for current information. Check back often as this will be updated as we get nearer to the event.

Roundtable VIII: The Roundtable will be comprised of Technical Committee meetings, to which all members and observers are welcome, plus some additional sessions and committee meetings which will be determined closer to the event. Friday morning will be the full Plenary meeting of the Consortium, open to all participants. This session will include report-outs from all Technical Committees, possibly demonstrations resulting from the IOP testing earlier in the week, and establishment of future goals and directions for the Consortium.
