CalConnect Revises Membership Categories and Dues, Event Fees

In April 2013 we introduced the emergent vendor category for aspiring members. The introduction met our objectives, which were to encourage membership and to increase participation at CalConnect events. There are now 11 members who went through or are in these categories. Nevertheless, there is room for further improvement. One side of those improvements concerns the fee structure. We have made the fee structure simpler and updated membership and conference fees.

Announcing the CalConnect Calendaring Developer's Guide

CalConnect has recently published its new Calendaring Developer’s Guide as a read-only wiki at http://devguide.calconnect.org.  

We have created an initial outline of topics that we expect will be of value, and added content for a subset of them such as creating a simple event, together with examples.  At this point we feel the Guide has enough content to be published and useful, but it is still incomplete.

Timezone Technical Committee closed; work program completed

The CalConnect TIMEZONE Technical Committee was originally chartered to develop problem statements and recommendations for managing time zone data in iCalendar, and recommendations for a TIMEZONE Registry and TIMEZONE service.  The TC was reactivated in 2007 to develop the Time Zone Data Distribution Service specification, and to help progress it to a standard.
