Sencha Touch and Kerio Workspace

Kerio Workspace is a powerful and complex web application that heavily depends on HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript. The interface is designed for desktop browsers on PCs and Macs, so when we decided to provide mobile access for smartphones, we needed a different approach. In version 1.0, we experimented with a very simple interface in plain Javascript and HTML . It worked, but it wasn't very visually appealing and provided only a mediocre user experience.

Q&A with Dave Thewlis, CalConnect

CalConnect, the Calendaring and Scheduling Consortium, is a consortium with 32 organizational members who work toward open standards and interoperability among various calendaring and scheduling systems.

As part of this mission, one of the main services the consortium provides is interoperability testing events and technical conferences – such as CalConnect XXII, October 3-7 in Prague, Czech Republic, which is being hosted by Kerio. At these events, members arrive to test the compatibility with their applications and products amongst each other. These testing events give each member a chance to get feedback in real time.

We caught up with Dave Thewlis, executive director at CalConnect for a short Q&A about the upcoming event, and about the goals of the consortium.
