CALCONNECT ROUNDTABLE IV - 13-15 September 2005
CALCONNECT INTEROP TESTING EVENT -
13-14 September 2005
CalConnect - The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium - invites you to
our fourth Roundtable and to the associated Calendaring and Scheduling
Interop Testing Event on 13-15 September, 2005 in San Francisco, hosted
by OSAF, the Open Source Applications Foundation.
Registration is now open for these events as of 4 August 2005.
The Roundtable, 13-15 September, will feature Technical
Committee meetings, ad hoc meetings, and a full Plenary of the
Consortium. You must represent a member of CalConnect to attend the
Roundtable unless your organization chooses to participate as
an Observer (a non-member who wishes to attend a Roundtable to evaluate
participation in the Consortium).
The Interop, 13-14 September (at the same location), will offer
multiple Interop Testing Scenarios including
- extensive CalDAV testing,
- RFC (iCalendar, iMIP, iTIP) interoperability and RFC conformance
testing
- CALSIFY minimum interoperability testing.
Participating organizations may choose one or more than one scenario
for testing -- however these scenarios will be going on
simultaneously so you will probably need a person for each scenario you
participate in.
Interop participation is open to all interested organizations
that wish to test calendaring and scheduling implementations, and is
not limited to members of the Consortium (although members receive
a significant discount on the Interop participation fee).
REGISTRATION FEES
Roundtable: $275 per individual until 15
May and $325 thereafter. The Roundtable is limited to representatives
of Consortium members or declared Observers (an non-member that wishes
to attend a Roundtable to evaluate participation in the Consortium). Registration
for the Roundtable does not
include Interop participation.
Interop: $1500 for Consortium
members and $2500 for non-members. The registration fee covers two
individuals; additional individuals are $275 each for members or
non-members. (If you are planning to participate in more than one
Interop scenario, or participate in all the TC meetings, you will
need
more than one person and possibly more than two.) The
Interop
Registration Fee also covers participation in the Consortium
Roundtable
for members or declared observers.
