Background and Objectives
Bedework is an open-source enterprise calendar system that supports public, personal, and group calendaring.  It is designed to conform to current calendaring standards with a goal of attaining strong interoperability between other calendaring systems and clients.  

Bedework is built with an emphasis on higher education, though it is used by many commercial enterprises. Bedework may be deployed for public events calendaring, personal calendaring and scheduling, or both.  Bedework is suitable for embedding in other applications or in portals and has been deployed across a wide range of environments.

From the outset Bedework has been very strongly standards based.
