Interoperable Calendaring means never, never, ever having to enter an appointment on more than one machine

In the context of CalConnect’s mission, to advance interoperable calendaring & scheduling in practical and useful ways, one of our major activities is to promote open-standards based calendaring and scheduling to the general public as well as the information technology industry.
