Roundtable XXIV took place on May 23-25, 2012, hosted by Patricia Egen Consulting in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The event was attended by 17 people from 11 organizations. The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event was held immediately prior to the Roundtable on May 21- 23. Nine people from 4 organizations were present onsite, and one individual and implementation participated remotely.
The Roundtable was dedicated to technical committee sessions, and informal discussions and networking, with an all-hands Plenary meeting as the last item on Friday afternoon. The Technical Committee sessions were as usual organized sequentially, without competing parallel sessions, as is our standard practice to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of each Technical Committee the opportunity to do so.
Two “implementation” BOFS were planned to be held during the Interoperability Test Event on Monday afternoon:
CalDAV Test Suites and Performance Testing
Shared Address Books
In the even the CalDAV Test Suites and Performance Testing BOF was held on Thursday afternoon due to lack of time.
A special BOF on Autodiscovery was also held Wednesday afternoon as a follow-on to BOFs in February and last October, and it was decided to form a Technical Committee to work in this area.
CalWS-SOAP SOAP Web Services Protocol for Calendaring
CalConnect has replaced the internal Interoperability Test Event Report with an internal wiki, and the public Interoperability Test Report with a section on the Test Event in the CalConnect Minutes newsletter publised after each event.
Roundtable session summaries and activities and a report on the Interoperability Test Event will be available as part of the CalConnect Minutes newsletter to be published shortly. Once it is available this entry will be changed to link to the newsletter.
