3. The Future

Some time was spent discussing the mobile space so we are starting a dialog on testing mobile devices and iCalendar, CALDAV, etc. This year is first year there are multiple phones with ical parsers. We will need to look for definitions of test cases. We will look at announcing early that we are embarking on this space to gather potential participants.

One of our first items will be to look at basic ical data and determine whether it gets rendered correctly on a certain number of devices. We will also need to look at transport mechanisms. Pat will work with Symbian who volunteered to help come up with test scenarios. The aim is to start the interop testing at the January meeting.

By September MIT might have ical export function from event calendar and will be interested in testing with clients. CMU might be interested in testing also.

My thanks to everyone who furnished their notes and results.

Respectfully submitted,
Pat Egen.
