Of interest, <http://xml.coverpages.org/ni2010-02-08-a.html> (highlights:
<http://www.diigo.com/09n3w>), 2010-02-08: 

> a new Web Services Calendar (WS-Calendar) Technical Committee

> chartered to adapt existing calendaring and scheduling specifications

> toward development of a "Common Scheduling" standard 

> The first meeting will be February 26, 2010 at 2PM US Eastern Time. 
> The meeting will be by teleconference sponsored by CalConnect.

> We anticipate the committee will meet weekly by teleconference 
> sponsored by CalConnect or other TC members.

> The committee will deliver a standard schema and semantics for
> schedule and interval information for use in other web services.
> This specification will be derived from and compatible with the
> existing iCalendar XML specification and offer some or all of the
> functionality of that specification.

> Version 1 of the specification and reference implementation for 
> building systems and smart grid interactions are anticipated 
> to be complete six months after the initial meeting.

> an aggressive schedule, in support of the NIST smart grid priority actions

Whilst I don't expect Cosmo to become a scheduling server, there's much of
interest in the story. A good overview of the state of things.
