Registration is now open for CalConnect Roundtable XIV and the associated CalConnect Interoperability Test Event, February 2-6, 2009, hosted by Microsoft in Redmond, Washington. Logistics information and links to the registration pages may be found at http://www.calconnect.org/calconnect14.shtml.

The CalConnect Interoperability Test Event will occur from Monday morning the 2nd (starting at 08:00) through noon Wednesday the 4th; the Roundtable from noon Wednesday the 4th through midafternoon Friday the 6th.

Non-members of CalConnect are invited to attend a single Roundtable as an observer to determine whether or not joining CalConnect would be of benefit to you.  Non-members may also attend a single CalConnect Interoperability Test Event as observers, as well.  Information on observer status and registration is also linked from the above page.

Registration for both member representatives and observer representatives is $350 for the Roundtable through January 15, 2009,  and $395 thereafter.  Observer registration for the IOP test event is also $350.

Google Calendar now supports CalDAV. That doesn’t mean much to most people but what it basically  means is that you can sync your calendar (Outlook, iCal, Sunbird, Blackberry, Android) easier and two-way with Gcal. Good news but apparently your Gcal doesn’t sync two way with the iPhone. Gcal appointments are read-only on the iPhone.
