Overview
TM Forum projects typically have weekly meetings to collaborate, work on project deliverables and plan for upcoming face to face events
The TM Forum project calendaring system supports individual and recurring meetings that have no end date. The calendaring system instantly sends updated meeting invitation notifications to your email inbox much like common calendar clients e.g. Outlook, Calendar. A calendar invite will appear as "Tentative" until Accepted or Declined. Meetings that you accept are then shown on your computer's local calendar.
Many projects have several meetings scheduled each week. This is so meetings can focus on a work stream or cater to a timezone. The topic of the meeting is indicated by the title and the topic tag, for example, the Open Digital Project has a meeting entitled "B2B2X Partnering Weekly Meeting" and it is tagged with the topic "B2B2X Partnering". This allows users to subscribe to "B2B2X Partnering" meeting notifications.
Ensuring meetings are on your calendar when you first join a project
When you first join a project you should ensure that the meetings you want to attend are on your business calendar. When you first join, you are not automatically sent meeting invites, as most project meetings are set up as recurring meetings with no end date in the calendar system.
To ensure the recurring project meetings are on your business calendar
- Select the Calendar page in the project page tree.
- Select the + Expand button on the weekly meeting(s) you want to attend from the list displayed.
- After expanding, scroll down, find and download the ICS file by selecting the Download ICS button
- Open the ICS file in your calendar. Save.
