Netscape Calendar was rolled out to the Lab on Oct. 14, allowing all users who currently have Meeting Maker accounts to move their Meeting Maker schedules to the new system. All Meeting Maker entries scheduled to occur after Nov. 15 will have to be rescheduled in Calendar as new entries. Everyone with a Meeting Maker account will automatically receive a Calendar account. Anyone who wishes to have a Netscape Calendar account and is not currently on Meeting Maker can request one on the web at: http://www.lbl.gov/mercury/calacctform.htm. Meeting Maker will be shut down on Monday, Nov. 16.

More extensive training will also be given in four-hour classes, presented at the Lab by AIM (the computer training firm hired by LBNL). Users of PCs can see the current class schedule or sign up for AIM classes via the Employee Development and Training web page at: http://www.lbl.gov/Workplace/EDT/computers/PC_Classes.html There are several Macintosh-based Calendaring Classes planned, and the dates are currently being finalized. The dates will be shown on the Calendaring web page at: http://www.lbl.gov/ICSD/CIS/CITG/calendar.htm.

The new scheduling system is part of the Mercury Project, an overall upgrade of messaging and calendaring applications used by Lab employees. The Computer Infrastructure Technology Group in the Information and Computing Sciences Division is leading the project.
