[Ietf-caldav] Meeting Notice: CalConnect Roundtable II -- The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium

[David C. Thewlis]

MEETING NOTICE:  CALCONNECT ROUNDTABLE II

The second Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium Roundtable will be held
Tuesday-Thursday, 11-13 January, 2005, hosted by the University of
Washington on the UW Campus in Seattle, Washington.  We expect to have
space for 25-30 people so early notification of intent to participate will
be important.

This three-day event will include Consortium Technical Committee Meetings
for all TCs which wish to meet in person, and a full Roundtable of all
participants to consider TC reports, evaluate progress, and establish next
steps and directions in working towards interoperable Calendaring and
Scheduling.  There will also be a co-located Interop Testing Event on
Tuesday and Wednesday, which will run three different testing scenarios
(please see the information for this Interop on the Consortium website).  

This event is open to Consortium members only.   Participation in the
co-located Interop is open to both members and non-members.  Non-members
interested in the Consortium may join the Consortium prior to the
Roundtable or onsite (including non-members participating in the Interop
event) and attend the Consortium activities.

The general schedule is:

Interops (in parallel) - all day Tuesday, Wednesday morning
TC meetings - all day Tuesday, Wednesday morning, and afternoon as needed
