Abstract
An application provides a “working elsewhere” status for users working at a location other than their regular work location and still available for meetings, communication sessions, etc. The application determines a user location being other than regular work location and the user still being available through user selection, information from user associated application(s), and/or from a presence notification. The application adjusts the user status to a working elsewhere status and makes the new status available to other applications such as calendaring, communication applications, presence service(s), and comparable ones. Meetings may be scheduled, communication sessions facilitated if the working elsewhere status is sufficient/acceptable for other users.
