2005

06/27/2005 - The Boston Globe. Software knight Kapor takes up new quest. E-mail application would be free to all. by Robert Weisman, Globe Staff.

03/2005 - IEEE Internet Computing, vol. 9, no. 2 (March/April 2005): p.81-89. Open Calendar Sharing and Scheduling with CalDAV. by Lisa Dusseault, OSAF and Jim Whitehead, University of California, Santa Cruz.

This article, co-authored by OSAF's standards architect, is a great technical introduction to the new shared calendar standard that OSAF is supporting in Chandler.

Building on a decade of work on calendar standards, the CalDAV protocol promises to unlock the potential of widespread calendar interoperability. It permits calendar sharing over the Web and reduces the coordination cost of scheduling meetings across and within organizational boundaries. The protocol extends the Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) protocol — itself, a simple extension of HTTP — to provide services for calendar maintenance, queries, event scheduling, and security.

03/2005 - EDUCAUSE Review, vol. 40, no. 2 (March/April 2005): p.72–73. How Is Open Source Special? A good summary of the benefits, challenges, and lessons learned from structuring OSAF as an open source project.
