Mitchell Baker hosts a panel comprised of key players defining and implementing a new IETF protocol designed to facilitate sharing of rich event-based calendar information. CalDAV is a new specification for calendaring over the Internet. It combines the proven iCalendar and WebDAV standards and extends them to suit the needs of modern calendaring.

The panel will be made up of various implementors of open source CalDAV clients and servers. Members of the panel will discuss the progress of the CalDAV drafts in the IETF, the status of their CalDAV implementations, and their future plans. Panelists will include representatives from Mozilla (Sunbird), OSAF (Chandler and Cosmo projects), Novell (Hula project), and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI version of the University of Washington calendar server).
