Updated June 10 to merge Monday 22 June session into Wednesday June 24 session

CalConnect will be offering the sessions listed below as virtual sessions via Zoom. These sessions are also open to the public interested in the topics and learning more about CalConnect. Each session will be no longer than an hour. The scheduled times have been chosen to be practical for as many people as possible who have expressed interest in the topic.

We will distribute access credentials for the sessions to all member representatives in advance of the sessions. If you are not a member representative but are interested in a session please send an e-mail to Virtual Sessions indicating which session(s) you wish to attend and we will send you access credentials prior to the session.

Monday June 15 - Caching of CalDAV/CardDAV responses
Discussion of proper/recommended response "freshness" and Cache-Control directives
0900 Pacific, 1200 Eastern, 1800 CET

Tuesday June 16 - Determining the subset of CalDAV features actually used by clients
Some features in the CalDAV specification are not widely implemented or used. This results in implementers of new clients putting work into features that are unnecessary or don’t work.This session will be a discussion during which we can identify features that should be deprecated. We may also be able to define a minimum usable profile. This should result in at least a page in the developers guide and possibly an RFC.
