CalendarX Sprint

[Guy Heckman]

Sorry for crossposting but at Smeal College of Business we are gearing
up to migrate to Plone 3 and the largest stumbling block we see is the
CalendarX incompatibility. We have planned a patch sprint to get
CalendarX working in Plone 3.

I am first of all extending an invitation to Lupa Zurven to participate
or at least receive his blessing in our endeavor.

I am extending this invitation to anyone who is currently using or
looking to use CalendarX in the near future. This is a stop-gap solution
for those who would like to move to Plone 3 while a more Plone 3-centric
solution can be developed. SVN and IRC will be used for those who can't
attend in person but want to participate - details to follow.

We would like to release the patched product to the community with
permission/blessing from the product owners.

Thank you,

Guy Heckman


Sprint Details:

    When: Tuesday, December 11th starting at 8:30 am (EST)

    Where: 11 Business Building (corner of Park Avenue & Shortlidge
    Road), University Park, PA 16802 (located on Penn State's main campus)

With further apologies for cross-posting, and without wishing to detract from CalendarX:

As the subject of calendaring has arisen, I'd like to draw attention to an item in the Plone Core Developers list:
http://www.nabble.com/Plone-Improvement-Proposal-%28PLIP%29-re-event-handling-and-CalDAV%3A-invitation-tf4867534s6745.html

In a nutshell:

1) my initial plea for assistance in drafting a CalDAV-related Plone Improvement Proposal is expressed at
http://omnium.freeman-centre.ac.uk/~gjp22/2007/11/24/plip-caldav.html

2) at the foot of that page, you'll find links to public archives of most lists to which I have posted

3) most recent discussion in the IETF-CalDAV list, reflected at http://rss.gmane.org/messages/complete/gmane.ietf.caldav , includes outline thoughts on implementation.

----

Incidentally: Cosmo server -- associated with the Chandler Project, which received substantial HE-related funding http://chandlerproject.org/Projects/OSAFFAQ -- seems to be shaping up very nicely. The Chandler Hub Sharing Service -- a Cosmo implementation -- offers a web UI, interaction with various CalDAV clients, event-oriented Atom feeds and so on.

Hello Graham,

Your announcement comes at a very good time. A number of colleges and
universities met recently (http://www.enfoldsystems.com/ploneability)
to discuss closer collaboration around education-centered Plone
products. One of the most coveted products is a calendar that is
extensible and interoperable. I'm certain that everyone in our group
will take a great interest in this PLIP and some might be persuaded to
be involved with the implementation. Thank you for this!

Christian

Graham,

It is great to know that someone is thinking about this and moving on it.
I'd really like to have an improved calendaring and events system be a
priority for the development projects of the plone4edu group, and if that
means supporting this effort of yours, so be it.

Is this list the proper venue for continuing the discussion of what we
want in event handling and calendaring?  Or is there a better/already
running discussion in the plone community somewhere?

Thanks again for bringing this to our attention,

Cris

Hi Graham and Christian,

Graham - thank you for the well-written PLIP about CalDAV in Plone.
http://omnium.freeman-centre.ac.uk/~gjp22/2007/11/24/plip-caldav.html

You may want to add it as an official PLIP on Plone.org, so that it
can be considered for the upcoming Plone 3.1 release.
http://plone.org/products/plone/roadmap/psc_improvements_listing
(click add 'Improvement Proposal' after you are logged in)

There is a deadline of Dec. 15 in order to have the PLIP be considered for 3.1
http://theploneblog.org/blog/archive/2007/11/26/plone-3-1-release-schedule-announced

I'd also like to mention that there is already a product which
supports iCal import/export. We just released the 1.0 final version of
Plone4ArtistsCalendar.
http://plone4artists.org/products/plone4artistscalendar

For the iCal support, we are using Sidnei da Silva's (cc'ed)
Calendaring product which includes iCal marshallers to be used in
conjunction with the Marshall product.

What this means is that you can publish an iCal calendar to your Plone
site and it will automatically update your Plone site, everytime you
add or edit an event in your desktop calendar.

Similarly, you can export a folder of events in your Plone site and
import it into your iCal desktop application, or simply subscribe to
the URL to get your desktop calendar updated whenever there is a new
event added to the site.

If you'd like to see this in action, watch the Plone4ArtistsCalendar screencast
http://plone.tv/media/1838007390/view

or try it out on the demo site. http://plone4artists.com

As for two-way syncing, I think CalDAV is required to do that. The
existing import/export and publish/subscribe functionality does not go
both ways. If you add an event to your Plone site, the "master"
calendar on your desktop does not know about it. Or if the events on
your Plone site are the "master", and you add events on your desktop,
Plone does not know about it.

I'd be eager to explore ways in which we can add CalDAV capabilities
to Plone4ArtistsCalendar.

I'm also cc'ing Lennart who is the author of the Dateable bundle,
which includes calendaring components Kronos and Kalends which are
described in more detail on this wiki page, created at the recent
Naples sprint. http://www.openplans.org/projects/plone4artists-naples/calendaring

Great to see some interest in calendaring and Plone!

Nate

Hi Guy,

For your upcoming sprint, I'd like to invite you to check out
Plone4ArtistsCalendar, another calendaring product for Plone which
already has preliminary support for Plone 3.

We just released the 1.0 version last week, and are hard at work at
finalizing the Plone 3 support.
http://plone4artists.org/products/plone4artistscalendar

Plone4ArtistsCalendar is being used to power the Oxfam America calendar,
and is also used on many other Plone-based websites.
http://calendar.oxfamamerica.org

You can watch a screencast which gives a nice overview of the
functionality of Plone4ArtistsCalendar here:
http://plone.tv/media/1838007390/view

If you are interested in learning more about Plone4ArtistsCalendar, I
encourage you to sign up for the mailing lists or join us in the
#plone4artists IRC channel. http://plone4artists.org/support

Cheers!
Nate
