CONTEXT: Research Universities Mission: discovery & innovation Means: extreme collaboration– Globally, at scale
Culture: decentralized; diffuse authority– Collections of many independent businesses
– A microcosm of “the Internet”
“Industry turns ideas into money; Universities turn money into ideas.” --Craig Hogan

COLLABORATION VISION
• Seamless & simple collaboration across multiple platforms & orgs
– Cal/Scheduling “just works”– Doc sharing invitations “just work”– User & resource discovery is easy
no matter where data is hosted.
• Robust federation replaces “Multiple Account Madness”
the illusion of simplicity and coherence!

CLASSES OF USERS (both MS & Google)
Within a given collaboration platform: Full suite of apps Basic email/cal services Calendar only Collaborator only
Across collaboration platforms Entitled users Invited collaborators (should not need local credentials)

INTEROPERABILITY ELEMENTS
Access control to calendar data; account assumptions Data format (e.g. iCal, .ics) Transfer/Access protocol (e.g. CalDAV, Web Svcs API) Autodiscover for authoritative data (per user, per group) Client design re profiles, individual v. group
context/domain System-wide vs. per-user configuration

IDEALLY Exchange & Gcal users can be freely intermixed
– At both department and individual level Existing tools work the same for scheduling all users Don't need accounts for everyone on each system System admins can easily configure things for everyone Delegation, Resources, and Recurring meetings work Scheduling works across institutions, not just across depts Don't need to keep an Outlook client running to sync Solution works Live@edu, not just on-prem Exchange

THINGS WE'VE TRIED
Google server-to-Outlook sync tool (deprecated) Google server-to-server sync tool (permissions issues) Google apps sync plugin for Outlook (separate Profile) DIY Exchange web svcs to web page tool(s) DIY One-way Google → Exchange sync tool

KEY ISSUES
Is CalDAV still important (vs. Web Svcs APIs)? Server-to-server vs. client-to-other-guy's-server approaches Autodiscover vs. configured precedence lists Account & access control assumptions Client design assumptions (“native” vs. “foreign” users) Scheduling resources (rooms) Departmental domains vs. selective group access
