Abstract
An application retrieves a published calendar from an online calendar application. The application formats the published calendar according to user status states such as “free” or “busy.” The application can also alternatively assign user status information from the published calendar to users status state levels such as “free,” “tentative,” “out of office,” “busy,” and “remotely available.” The application matches calendar owner information to a contact from a contact list of the application in order to link the formatted calendar to the contact. The application presents the linked calendar for scheduling.
