Introduction

Roundtable X and the accompanying IOP Test Event took place September 17-21, hosted by The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The event was attended by 43 representatives from 31 organizations, including representatives from three observers (organizations attending a Roundtable to see if they wish to join).

The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event (C.I.T.E.) was held immediately prior to the Roundtable, running Monday noon through Wednesday noon, September 17-19. Nine (9) organizations participated in this event, performing interoperability testing between their calendaring and scheduling implementations. A report on the IOP Test Event will be published as soon as possible.

In conjunction with this Roundtable, CalConnect hosted a one-day open vCard Workshop on Tuesday, September 18th. The vCard Workshop was attended by about 20 people. A report on the workshop together with presentations and other materials may be found at vCard Workshop Report.

Roundtable X, attended by 43 representatives from 35 organizations, including 4 observers ran Wednesday afternoon, all day Thursday, and Friday morning. Wednesday afternoon began with a Technology Preview demonstrating live interoperability in the areas of CalDAV Scheduling, Server-Server, and Free/Busy URL between multiple dissimilar clients and servers. The majority of the Roundtable was dedicated to technical committee sessions, BOFs, and informal discussions and networking, with an all-hands Plenary meeting as the last item on Friday morning. The Technical Committee sessions were organized sequentially, without competing parallel sessions, to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of a Technical Committee the opportunity to do so.
