Registration open for Calconnect Roundtable and Interop Testing Event, January 2006 - 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 INTEROP TESTING EVENT -  09-10 January 2006

CALCONNECT ROUNDTABLE V - 10-12 January 2006
 
 
CalConnect - The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium - invites you to our January 2006 Roundtable and to the associated Calendaring and Scheduling Interop Testing Event, to be held 9-12 January, 2006 in Provo, Utah, hosted by Novell, Inc.

Registration is now open for these events as of 15 November 2005.

In a departure from previous events, the Interop and Roundtable will be held serially instead of in parallel, to ensure that Interop participants can actively participate in the Roundtable. 

The Interop will take place 09-10 January, all day the 9th and until lunch on the 10th.  It 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).

More information about the Interop is available at http://www.calconnect.org/iopjan2006.html.

The Roundtable will commence after lunch on Tuesday 10 January and run through lunch on Thursday 12 January (Roundtable participants are invited to lunch on Tuesday prior to the opening of the Roundtable).  It 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).

More information about the Roundtable is available at http://www.calconnect.org/roundtable5.html.


REGISTRATION FEES

Interop: $1500 for Consortium members and $2500 for non-members.  The registration fee covers two individuals; additional individuals are $150 each for members or non-members.  (If you are planning to participate in more than one Interop scenario, you may need additional people.) 
 
Roundtable:  $275 per individual until 01 January 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).  

A combined registration fee for both the Interop and Roundtable is available; please see http://www.calconnect.org/iopfees.html.
