Speaker registration forms

How we will put together our panel:

• register for the conference
• update the 50 word abstract for the program.

Audience Take away goals:

1. Sharing calendars via CalDAV is "real"
2. CalDAV has significant support from open source and commercial vendors
3. You should demand open standard interoperability from your vendors.
4. Calconnect would be a good starting place to show support for these efforts.

Then in the next couple of months we have to figure out how to best use the time to spread the word.

Content

Lisa's stuff

1. Pain points

I bet this is what kills you about calendaring

• Calendar systems are islands of isolated data
• Monolithic solutions limit choice
• Cost of administration or licensing
• Bad integration with mobile devices
• Bad integration between course calendars and personal calendars

2. CalDAV is for personal calendars Access from anywhere (RPI's WebUI^?) Synchronize two computers

3. CalDAV is for group calendars Small workgroups can plan their schedules Doesn't require a lot of administrative overhead Pay attention to Chandler, Cosmo In the meantime, Sunbird and iCal

4. CalDAV is for course schedules Students can just add the course schedules to their personal calendar software views

5. CalDAV is for enterprise calendars View peoples' free busy times View when rooms are booked

6. CalDAV is for public calendars People can subscribe to public arts programs Need tools to make this work smoothly
