    <title>Call for action: fail RRULE parsing on unknown parameters</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2296</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;This letter is an outcome of CalConnect round table discussion.

Currently some calendaring libraries and services silently ignore RRULE
parameters they don't understand. Such behavior contradicts the spec (
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545#section-3.3.10), and prevents any
extension to the RRULE behavior.

We want to add a new parameter to the RRULE, which modifies set of
instances produced by it. If a client or service silently ignores the new
parameter, it will produce incorrect set of instances causing data
inconsistency. The best such a client can do is to reject RRULE it doesn't
understand, and do not produce any set of instances for it.

Bug will be filed shortly for ical4j, fixing which should also fix all
dependent services (including our Google Calendar). If you are aware of
other implementations of iCalendar parsing, please post here so we can
cover them too.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;A draft RFC to support non-Gregorian recurrence rules in iCalendar is
available for discussion. It will allow us to specify events like Chinese
New Year, Ramadan or Korean birthdays. Please see the links below. Comments
are welcome on the calsify&amp;lt; at &amp;gt;ietf.org mailing list.

If adopted, we are likely to start using it at Google, and recurrences with
RSCALE parameter will appear in iCalendar data provided by us.

    <title>Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2286</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Biggest Fake Conference in Computer Science


We are researchers from different parts of the world and conducted a study on  
the world’s biggest bogus computer science conference WORLDCOMP 
( http://sites.google.com/site/worlddump1 ) organized by Prof. Hamid Arabnia 
from University of Georgia, USA.


We submitted a fake paper to WORLDCOMP 2011 and again (the same paper 
with a modified title) to WORLDCOMP 2012. This paper had numerous 
fundamental mistakes. Sample statements from that paper include: 

(1). Binary logic is fuzzy logic and vice versa
(2). Pascal developed fuzzy logic
(3). Object oriented languages do not exhibit any polymorphism or inheritance
(4). TCP and IP are synonyms and are part of OSI model 
(5). Distributed systems deal with only one computer
(6). Laptop is an example for a super computer
(7). Operating system is an example for computer hardware


Also, our paper did not express any conceptual meaning.  However, it 
was accepted both the times without any modifications (and without 
any reviews) and we were invited to submit the final paper and a 
payment of $500+ fee to present the paper. We decided to use the 
fee for better purposes than making Prof. Hamid Arabnia (Chairman 
of WORLDCOMP) rich. After that, we received few reminders from 
WORLDCOMP to pay the fee but we never responded. 


We MUST say that you should look at the above website if you have any thoughts 
to submit a paper to WORLDCOMP.  DBLP and other indexing agencies have stopped 
indexing WORLDCOMP’s proceedings since 2011 due to its fakeness. See 
http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/conf/icai/index.html for of one of the 
conferences of WORLDCOMP and notice that there is no listing after 2010. See Section 2 of
http://sites.google.com/site/dumpconf for comments from well-known researchers 
about WORLDCOMP. 


The status of your WORLDCOMP papers can be changed from scientific
to other (i.e., junk or non-technical) at any time. Better not to have a paper than 
having it in WORLDCOMP and spoil the resume and peace of mind forever!


Our study revealed that WORLDCOMP is a money making business, 
using University of Georgia mask, for Prof. Hamid Arabnia. He is throwing 
out a small chunk of that money (around 20 dollars per paper published 
in WORLDCOMP’s proceedings) to his puppet (Mr. Ashu Solo or A.M.G. Solo) 
who publicizes WORLDCOMP and also defends it at various forums, using 
fake/anonymous names. The puppet uses fake names and defames other conferences
to divert traffic to WORLDCOMP. He also makes anonymous phone calls and tries to 
threaten the critiques of WORLDCOMP (See Item 7 of Section 5 of above website). 
That is, the puppet does all his best to get a maximum number of papers published 
at WORLDCOMP to get more money into his (and Prof. Hamid Arabnia’s) pockets. 


Monte Carlo Resort (the venue of WORLDCOMP for more than 10 years, until 2012) has 
refused to provide the venue for WORLDCOMP’13 because of the fears of their image 
being tarnished due to WORLDCOMP’s fraudulent activities. That is why WORLDCOMP’13 
is taking place at a different resort. WORLDCOMP will not be held after 2013. 


The draft paper submission deadline is over but still there are no committee 
members, no reviewers, and there is no conference Chairman. The only contact 
details available on WORLDCOMP’s website is just an email address! 

Let us make a direct request to Prof. Hamid arabnia: publish all reviews for 
all the papers (after blocking identifiable details) since 2000 conference. Reveal 
the names and affiliations of all the reviewers (for each year) and how many 
papers each reviewer had reviewed on average. We also request him to look at 
the Open Challenge (Section 6) at https://sites.google.com/site/moneycomp1 


Sorry for posting to multiple lists. Spreading the word is the only way to stop 
this bogus conference. Please forward this message to other mailing lists and people. 


We are shocked with Prof. Hamid Arabnia and his puppet’s activities

    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2285</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi folks,
Below is the announcement for a new draft that was just posted. This draft, 
which stems from work done at the Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium, 
attempts to address the need for iCalendar data to support non-Gregorian 
recurrence behavior. Rather than making use of the existing "CALSCALE" 
option in iCalendar (which was considered too disruptive), it instead 
defines extensions to the "RRULE" property.

Please review and discuss on the ietf-calsify list, thanks.

    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2284</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hey Folks,

as a basis for discussion for the WG I have put together an etherpad 
with a summary of iCalendar and vCard specs. It contains examples on how 
the jCard/jCal looks like. Note for those items that have different 
proposals, I have included all options. It may be that for some items 
there has been previous discussion that would rule out the one or other.

https://calendar.etherpad.mozilla.org/jcardcal-model

I'm looking forward to your comments. If you decide to write something 
on the etherpad, please fill in your name.

For those of you on the calsify/vcarddav lists, this will likely be my 
last post aside from new version notifications. If you would like to 
continue to discuss these emerging standards, please subscribe to the 
jcardcal mailing list.

Thanks,
Philipp

    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2283</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hello,
 As mentioned in the attached email, during discussions on the new vCard resource draft we realized the need to re-use and sometimes enhance the currently defined KIND values to define schedulable resources. This lead to the idea of replicating the concept of Objectclass that LDAP offers. After further discussions the following drafts have been submitted. Any review and comments would be greatly appreciated.

- Base vCard objectclass property definition - http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vcard-objectclass-00
- Definition of the "schedulable" objectclass value used to define any schedulable entity - http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vcard-schedulable-00
- Modified vCard representation of a schedulable resource that makes use of the schedulable objectclass - http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cal-resource-vcard-02

Thanks,
Ciny

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi folks,
We have posted a new version of the timezone service draft: 
&amp;lt;https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-douglass-timezone-service/&amp;gt; and 
would greatly appreciate reviews of this as we intend to ask the IETF/IESG 
to start the process of review/approval/publication.

There has been one big change in this new version: the switch to using JSON 
for the responses from the server rather than XML. This was something we 
had been considering for a while - primarily because we think the most 
common "light weight" clients wanting to use this protocol will be 
web/browser based.

    <title>Escaping dquote in a parameter value</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2223</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi,
As I am sure most people are aware, a double-quote character is forbidden 
to appear in a parameter value in both vCard and iCalendar. Yet there is a 
need to preserve double-quotes in a parameter value. So I am going to 
propose an extension to the specifications whereby a new escape mechanism 
is introduced solely for the purpose of allowing d-quote in a parameter 
value in a backwards compatible manner.

My proposal is to use ^ (0x5e) as an escape character, with only the 
following two sequences allowed:

^^ - represents a single ^ character
^' - represents a single d-quote character

I ruled out use of \ because some parsers erroneously eat that, and it 
would also be tempting to use \" which is definitely not possible because 
the dquote cannot appear.

I also ruled out &amp;amp; (XML/HTML entity style) and % (URI style) style escaping 
as being too general - we don't need to escape arbitrary characters - only 
dquote. Also, I think &amp;amp; and % are already in common use in parameter values 
that have URIs, so would end up being escaped themselves a lot more. I 
suspect ^ is one of the least used characters and so the need to escape the 
escape character is less.

Obviously there would need to be some backwards compatibility statement in 
regard to what to do with existing values with a single ^. I would suggest 
any combination that is not one of the above two, should be left alone when 
parsing. But when generating, it would be escaped as ^^.

There are probably some other ascii symbols that are infrequently used too, 
that we could pick if there are strong arguments against ^, but for now I 
am happy with ^.

Thoughts?

    <title>vcard draft for calendar resources</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2222</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hello,
    As a result of discussions at Calconnect, we have submitted a draft defining the vCard representation of Calendaring Resources. 
See http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-cal-resource-vcard-00. 
    Previously we had submitted a draft defining the schema for representing resources in the calendaring and scheduling context both in vCard and LDAP. Since it had entries in there that would more rightfully go into a generic vCard to LDAP mapping draft, we have abandoned that draft for now.
   Any comments or corrections on the above draft would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ciny_______________________________________________

    <title>[ietf-calsify] Registration is now open for CalConnect XXIV,May 21-25, 2012, Chattanooga, Tennessee</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2221</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;This notice is going to the calendaring-related IETF lists.  Our apologies if you receive multiple copies; many people are on the same lists.



Registration is now open for CalConnect XXIV,  May 21-25, 2012, hosted by Patricia Egen Consulting in Chattanooga, Tennessee  

As usual, Monday and Tuesday all day and Wednesday morning will be the Interoperability Test Event; Wednesday afternoon, Thursday, and Friday will be the CalConnect Roundtable Technical Conference.  


General Information:

Logistics information for this event may be found at http://www.calconnect.org/calconnect24.shtml including travel, hotel, and other planning information.  A general schedule is posted, but will be updated nearer to the event with the actual session schedule and with topical agendas for the schedule.

The meeting venue and conference hotel is the Doubletree Hotel, 407 Chestnut Street, Chattanooga, TN.  All meeting sessions and the Wednesday evening reception will be held at the Doubletree.  

The Doubletree is offering a room rate of $129 per night for CalConnect attendees if you book prior to 3 May and the room block is not already full.  To book directly with the hotel, you may go to this link http://doubletree.hilton.com/en/dt/groups/personalized/C/CHACHDT-PEC-20120520/index.jhtml?WT.mc_id=POG or call 423-756-5150 to reserve and tell them you are attending the CalConnect conference.  Although the booking page says May 20-25 you may book from the 19th through the 26th at the special rate.  


I encourage you to register early for this event as well, as early registration helps us with event planning and logistics, in addition to restaurant reserfvations.  (Please remember that you need not pay when you register; if desired you may wait until the event and pay by credit card.0


About the Roundtable:

The exact schedule for TC Sessions is not yet fixed but should be determined early in April.   

Early registration for the Roundtable will be $350 through 5 May 2012, and $395 after that date.  Another reason to register early: you won't forget and miss the early registration deadline.  Please note that the early registration about applies so long as you register &amp;lt;= 5 May, even if you don't actually pay until the event.  



About the Interoperability Test Event:

We will be testing the following:

• CalDAV Access
• CalDAV Scheduling, including Implicit Scheduling
• iMIP and iMIP Gateways
• CardDAV
• Timezone Service Protocol and Timezones by Reference

This list will be updated as additional testing areas are identified and requested by two or more testing organizations. 

We may be testing the following if two or more testing organizations express interest: 
iSchedule
Web Services (CalWS REST and CalWS SOAP)
In all cases at least two participating organizations must be interested in testing a particular area or scenario to form testing pairs. 

Additionally, we are planning on three special BOF sessions during the the Interoperability Test Event
Auto-discovery (continuation of BOF from CalConnect XXIII in February 2012)
vCard 3 to vCard 4 transition
Shared Address Books


The information page for the Interoperability Test event is at http://www.calconnect.org/iop1205.shtml.  A short descripttion of the BOFs at the test event will be added to this page in early April.

Please note that the Interoperability Test Event registration fee for non-vendor members is now $350 per person.  Test Event registration fees for vendor members and for non-members remain unchanged at $1795 and $2795 respectively for the first two participants, and $150 per additional participant.

    <description>&lt;pre&gt;The new timezones service draft is now available from

https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-douglass-timezone-service/


This versions incorporates a number of changes made as a result of 
interoperability testing carried out during the last CalConnect event.

We intend to be doing more testing during the next event in Prague (see 
http://calconnect.org/iop1110.shtml)

We would welcome the opportunity to test against other implementations.

    <title>colloquium on Future of UTC</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2208</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;On behalf of the co-chairs I announce a colloquium about the
implications of possible changes to the definition of UTC which is
scheduled for a vote by delegates to the Radiocommunication Assembly
in January.  The draft under consideration by the ITU-R would redefine
the notions of time and calendar day in ways that would have broad
side effects.

The website for the colloquium is
http://futureofutc.org/

Abstracts already received include contributions from national
observatories, international agencies, geophysics and navigation
communities.  Software and operating systems remain underrepresented.

I invite contributions from members of the internet calendar community
and anyone who may have code, systems, or products which could be
affected by changes in the definition of the radio broadcast time
signals which underly them.

    <title>iCalendar-in-XMlL updated</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2200</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;Hi folks,
The iCalendar-in-XMl spec has been updated to account for comments during 
the last call which ended last week. Changes are noted in the spec at 
&amp;lt;http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-daboo-et-al-icalendar-in-xml-09.txt&amp;gt;.

In regard to vcard-in-XML: please look at Section 5 which is how we agreed 
to deal with unrecognized property/parameter default values. I believe 
similar text and new XML value element is required in the vCard-in-XML spec 
too.

One other thing, we ended up changing the date and time XML value formats 
to be more inline with the format used in XML schema: specifically adding 
"-" separators between the date components and ":" separators between the 
time components. This change was prompted by feedback from developers who 
wanted to be able to reuse xsd date/time types for validation and 
processing. This seemed like a reasonable request so we made the change. I 
would have thought a similar situation exists for vcard-in-XML so we may 
want to consider that.

&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

    <title>xCal examples (unescaping)</title>
    <link>http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.ietf.calsify/2197</link>
    <description>&lt;pre&gt;In the examples at 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-daboo-et-al-icalendar-in-xml-08#appendix-B 
, it would have been nice to show the unfolding and unescaping of 
properties and parameter values in the example (e.g. removal of \n in 
DESCRIPTION value, removal of double quote and comma escaping in 
parameters).

+ a really minor detail: Section 3 is titled "Converting from iCalendar 
to xCal" when section 4 is called "Converting from XML into iCalendar" 
instead of "Converting from xCal to iCalendar"

Looks really good otherwise,
