Introduction

The first post-launch event of The Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium took place on 11-13 January, 2005, sponsored by the University of Washington in Seattle. The event was attended by 31 people representing 16 organizations. The Roundtable event consisted of two days of Technical Committee meetings, followed by an all-hands plenary meeting of the membership and attendees. The first two days, a CalConnect Interoperability Event was held in parallel with the Technical Committee meetings. The Technical Committee sessions were organized sequentially, to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of a Technical Committee the opportunity to do so, and there was definitely “drift” between TC sessions and those participating in the CalConnect Interoperability Event.
