CalConnect Interoperability Test Event:
The IOP Test Event event is open to both members and non-members as
participants or as observers; please
see IOP Test Event October 2008 for current information. Check
back often as this will be updated as we get nearer to the event.
You do not need finished or polished code to participate in the IOP testing; in fact as soon as you have something working at all, testing against other participants can help debugging and code development, especially in identifying red herrings and wrong decisions. Please Note: This is a regular IOP test event focused on calendaring servers and desktop clients. Please see Mobile IOP Test Event November 4-6 2008 for more information about the next Mobile IOP Test Event. Roundtable XIII: The Roundtable Members Meeting will as usual offer Technical Committee sessions, to which all members and observers are welcome, informal BOFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), plus additional sessions and committee meetings. A Technical Preview of current work is also planned; see below. Friday morning will be the full Plenary meeting of the Consortium, open to all participants. This session will include report-outs from all Technical Committees, possibly demonstrations resulting from the IOP testing earlier in the week, and establishment of future goals and directions for the Consortium. |
