[caldeveloper-l] [CfP][CalendarFest] Call for lightning talk proposals for CalendarFest 2021 - current topics in electronic calendaring

[Hans-Joerg Happel]

Hi Tim,

thanks for the input. I think those a very valid and worthwhile points.

If not submitting a presentation, are you planning to attend the virtual 
event? If so, we might still think to dedicate a free discussion slot to 
that topic, depending on the overall schedule.

Thanks and best,
Hans-Joerg
