Introduction

Roundtable V took place on January 9-12, 2006, hosted by Novell in Provo, Utah. Monday January 9th and Tuesday morning the 10th were a dedicated CalConnect Interoperability Event where seven organizations performed interoperability testing on their calendaring and scheduling implementations. The Roundtable itself convened midday on Tuesday the 10th and closed midday on Thursday the 12th. As usual, most of the time was dedicated to technical committee sessions, with an all-hands Plenary meeting at the end. 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. Delegates were also present from The Open Group Messaging Forum to discuss a possible joint endeavor with respect to a Federated Freebusy Challenge which the TOG/MF has issued.
