Meeting Notes

Daniel went to CalConnect

• • First part was interop, second part was roundtable
  • Every large calendar vendor was represented
  • It was good to get to meet people there, talked about the desperate need for the timezone registry.
  • Interop: We could do better. Daniel fixed some bugs on the fly w.r.t. etags. We have basic support for CalDav right now, which aligns with what most servers support.
    • Scheduling support is currently only available in Apple and Bedework
    • Posted bugs to Bruno
    • Also found bugs on the server side w/some of the implementations
    • It was good to be able to talk directly to the developers in the field.
  • Roundtable:
    • Very big, about 40 people
    • Microsoft were also there and were considering to support calDav or not.
    • It's unclear what their plans are.
    • Most server vendors only have a web UI present, so there is still much interest in fat clients
  • CalDav is still evolving, it's still not complete. One of the things that is missing is a true synchronization feature that can be used for offline mode. All they currently have is etag based checking, which does not scale with larger calendars.
  • CalConnect also discussed further revisions of 2445 and 2446.
  • Could not get any commitment from Google on their calendar APIs. But the fact that they were there shows that they have an interest in the open standards.

0.5

• bug 379236 Philipp consolidated the 0.7 Sunbird/Lightning into one 0.7 milestone. Timeless wants to know if the older milestones into one to make it look neater.
  • Don't care about old milestones, but do care about old versions since those were used to file bugs.
  • Simon will post about the versions in the newsgroup.
  • Simon will ask Timeless about ordering of target milestones
• All localizations are on board -- still unknown if more is left to do on Lightning. But, for our supported localizations, the tinderboxes are green.
• We also had an excellent test day yesterday
• It comes down to the final steps to cut the release.
• ctalbert will take the first stab at the release notes.
• Daniel is out from next Thursday for a week
• Simon is unavailable from Friday to Wednesday
• bug 380164 is the 0.5 release process tracking bug
• Daniel has a stage account and can easily prepare the area for us to land the build.
• ctalbert will call lilmatt after the call.
