The Interoperability Test Event will take place all day Monday and Tuesday, January 28-29, and Wednesday morning January 30th during CalConnect XXVI, hosted by Oracle in Santa Clara, California. For information about event logistics please see http://www.calconnect.org/calconnect26.shtml.

At this point we are planning testing in the following areas (Updated 30 November 2012):

    • scheduling
    • sync report
    • mobile
    • managed attachments
    • sharing

    • Server discovery
    • DKIM security – latest changes for header normalization
  • Timezone:
    • Service Protocol (new JSON spec)
    • Timezones by Reference
  • VPOLL initial testing
  • Autodiscovery protocol
  • iCalendar:
    • richtext properties (and hashing)
    • iTIP/iMIP
    • jCal, the JSON Format for iCalendar
    • xCal, the XML Format for iCalendar
  • CardDAV testing:
    • generic
    • Sync report

    • vcard 4?
  • CalWS-REST and CalWS-SOAP, the web services protocols for iCalendar and WS-Calendar

In addition, participants may have other areas they wish to test and we will be happy to include them in our planning; the test event registration form provides a place to indicate what you want to test. In all cases at least two participating organizations must be interested in testing a particular area or scenario to form testing pairs.

Your organization need not be a member of CalConnect to participate in an Interoperability Test Event.
