Registration open for Calconnect Roundtable and Interop Testing Event, September 2005 - The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium



Please note that this announcement is being posted on multiple calendaring-related reflectors and to the Calconnect mailing lists to ensure as wide a distribution as possible.  Our apologies if you receive multiple copies.


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.
