2. Higher Ed Environment ● Information stored on large-scale enterprise servers. ● Access increasingly mediated by middleware. ● Desktop devices are not under central control. ● Use of multiple devices from multiple locations is typical. ● Extremely high turnover of user base. ● Edges of the enterprise are fuzzy.

3. Current Issues - Email ● Poorly behaved clients. – IMAP used as if it's POP. – Checking all folders for new messages (Outlook Express). – Checking all folders for message count (OS X Mail app). – Not supporting server-side features such as search or sort. – Not supporting secure authentication mechanisms.

4. Current Issues - Calendaring ● No good implementation of interoperable protocols. ● No good enterprise-wide scalable solutions. ● Products which violate basic principles: – Forced integration of calendaring with email (Exchange).

5. What Chandler Offers – Shorter Term ● A collaborative design process between OSAF and higher ed institutions. ● A chance to offer departments a better local solution for information management than Exchange. ● An opportunity to advance the state of support for interoperable standards.

6. What Chandler Offers – Longer Term ● A new open source set of tools for managing personal information in the enterprise. ● A chance to understand new ways of supporting fuzzy institutional borders. ● A chance to explore the ways new P2P paradigms interact with our server-based environment. ● A new working partnership between higher ed and open source developers.
