  1. Chandler and Higher Education

  2. Chandler in a Nutshell™ • Open Source Personal Information Manager • Email, calendar, contacts, tasks, free-form items • Easy sharing and collaboration • Server optional • Linux, Mac, and Windows • Modular and extensible platform

  3. 4 Key Recommendations • Nomadic usage and central Repositories • Standards based CAP Client • Full interoperability with standards based infrastructure • Robust security framework

  4. Nomadic Usage and Central Repositories • Access to Chandler data from multiple machines is essential • Architecture allows for small peer-to-peer distributed workgroups to scalable, centrally managed repositories

  5. Standards based CAP Client • Standards based solution will permit interoperability with Oracle Calendar, Sun One and Open Source CAP servers, reducing ‘lock-in’ to single vendor solutions • Chandler will provide delegation and resource scheduling features to provide complete client calendaring solution

  6. Interoperability with Standards based Infrastructure • Interoperability via existing standards is the primary way Chandler accesses data • Full IMAP, POP, SMTP, and LDAP support utilizing SASL, TLS and Kerberos as underlying security framework • Data Compositing allows richer Chandler meta-data to co-exist with standards data • Pragmatic support for emerging standards such as CAP and Shibboleth

  7. Robust Security Framework • Based on existing standards and best practices such as TLS for transport layer security and SASL for authentication • Pluggable security extensions and policy framework which allow each institution to customize own safety vs. convenience trade-offs • Low end-user administration overhead to ensure security is practiced and transparent where achievable.
