General Information

I am delighted to announce that Genentech, Inc. has joined The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium.  

It is now only 4 weeks to CalConnect XVIII, May 24-28 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh — and only 2 weeks until Early Registration (for the Roundtable) ends on the 9th. As of Monday the 10th the registration fee will increase from $350 to $395.

As usual, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning will be the Interoperability Test Events, while Wednesday afternoon to Friday afternoon will be the Roundtable. Remember you must register separately for the two events.

Doug Day has provided an iCalendar Validator which will validate calendaring data against the iCalendar (RFC 5545) standard. See http://icalvalid.cloudapp.net/. 

CalConnect Minutes is the CalConnect newsletter published after each CalConnect Roundtable. Each edition contains information from the previous Roundtable and IOP Test Event plus articles and guest contributions. It is intended for CalConnect members and for others interested in CalConnect and in calendaring and scheduling.

The current edition of CalConnect Minutes is available at CalConnect Minutes Roundtable XVII.

The public report from the CalConnect Interoperability Test Event on February 1-3 2010 has been published. This event was hosted by UC Irvine in conjunction with Roundtable XVII. Please see February 2010 CalConnect Interoperability Test Report.

The complete internal test event report is available to CalConnect members on the CalConnect website members area.

Registration is now open for CalConnect XVIII, May 24-28, 2010, at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. This week will include both a regular and a mobile calendaring interoperability test event, and a Roundtable (members’ meeting). Please see CalConnect XVIII for logistics and registration information.

A brief report on CalConnect Roundtable XVII and the associated Interoperability Test Event, held February 1-5, 2010, at the University of California at Irvine, has been posted at Roundtable XVII.
