Introduction

Roundtable XIV took place on February 4-6, 2009, hosted by Microsoft in Redmond, Washington. The event was attended by 31 people from 20 organizations, including representatives from two observers (organizations attending a Roundtable to see if they wish to join).

The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event (CITE) was held immediately prior to the Roundtable on February 2-4. Five organizations and 18 people participated in the regular test event, performing interoperability testing between their calendaring and scheduling implementations. A reports on the CITE will be published as soon as information has been delivered from all participants.

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 afternoon. The Technical Committee sessions were as usual organized sequentially, without competing parallel sessions, as is our standard practice to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of each Technical Committee the opportunity to do so.
