Public calendars
Public calendars must be subscribed by their delegation. Instructions to be followed can be
found in section 11.5.4.
11.5.3 Scheduling of meetings
Meetings are special calendar events where email addresses of other participants can be in-
volved. Once a meeting is created, addresses can be added to which the message will be sent
— these special messages are called invitations. Invitations are special messages informing
users of topics, times and place of a meeting. Invitations include special accept/reject but-
tons. Information derived from the participant’s reaction is sent to the meeting initiator (chair
member). The initiator thus know whether the persons invited come or not. It is also possible
to send updates related to meetings when the initiator modifies the invitation.
New meeting
Meetings are created as events:
1. Double-click on a calendar and create an event.
2. Double-click on the event and click on Edit in the dialog just opened.
3. This opens an event’s edit window where advanced settings can be done.
4. Use the attendees option to specify email addresses of invited users (see figure 11.10).
5. Once addresses are specified in the attendees textfield, the Available Meeting Times link
appears. Clicking the link opens the Availability window where free and busy times of
each attendee are shown on individual timelines so you can choose the best time for the
meeting. The timeline shows times for which the attendees already have scheduled any
events in their calendars saved on the server (for details, see figure 11.11).
