A public Workshop on the Veterans Administration Scheduling System Challenge was held Wednesday afternoon and was attended by 47 people, 21 of whom came for the workshop alone. Most Conference participants were present for the Workshop as well. A separate report on the workshop can be found at VA Scheduling System Workshop Report.

A BoF on CalConnect and the IETF was held Thursday afternoon with the two Application Area ADs from the IETF attending Thursday morning and through the BoF. The goal of the BoF was to explore ways to better integrate IETF and CalConnect processes and allow for smoother progression of drafts through the IETF once submitted. A formal liaison between the IETF and CalConnect was suggested and will be explored.
