OSCON: Mitchell Baker, Katie Capps Parlante, Andy Hertzfeld, Chao Lam "Chandler: An Open Source Personal Information Manager"
Today was Chandler day, with a talk and a BOF

The talk was an overview of the Chandler requirements (Chao Lam) and architectural goals (Andy Hertzfeld). Katie Capps Parlante explained some of the aspects of the Chandler data model. This is a good piece of progress. I believe that the data model/data store issues are getting unblocked and am hopeful that we'll start to see code appearing soon. Mitchell Baker talked about the community aspects of Chandler including where to find information, and how to get involved.

The BOF was a lot of ideas and questions on Chandler features. There were also some expressions of frustration over the rate of progress, and the lack of a piece of code that can really be poked and played with. During the BOF there was gentleman who was asking some pretty technical questions about the data storage / platform aspects of Chandler. At one point, he said that he had a startup that had done a PIM called Arrange. During the early 90's I was a beta tester for that same company. I went over after the BOF, and it turns out that it was Scott Wiener the CEO, who I had dealt with quite a bit back then. Arrange was a very cool product for the Mac -- actually if Chandler just got back to that it would be cool, and I know that the Chandler folks want to do more, which is fine by me.
