We will be announcing additional and special sessions of interest as more material becomes available. At this time while the general schedule is set, we cannot guarantee that the specific dates and times set on the logistics page for each TC will not change.

Public Review and Comment on Calendaring Glossary

The CalConnect Calendaring and Scheduling Glossary of Terms was originally published in 2006 and is strongly in need of an update to reflect changes and advances in Calendaring and Scheduling since that time.

We have initiated a public review and comment process from all interested parties. Please see Public Review and Comment for the Glossary for information about the process and the mailing list for comments. All comments, corrections, and updates are encouraged.

After an initial period for comments and suggestions, the owning Technical Committee, TC USECASE, will produce an updated draft which will also be made available for public review and comment prior to publication, using this same process.

DAViCal implements CalConnect’s Proposal for Freebusy Read URL

As noted on Andrew McMillan’s blog at
http://andrew.mcmillan.net.nz/blog/davical_097_released
“Since DAViCal has always had Freebusy URLs, and in fact accepted a couple of simple parameters in them already it turned out to be a simple matter to provide these standardised ones as well. This change was included in DAViCal 0.9.7…”.

The Freebusy Read URL Proposal may be found at Proposal for Freebusy Read URL.
