A method of scheduling meetings within a calendaring system can include
receiving a meeting request specifying a meeting time, at least one
participant, and a supplemental meeting service to be scheduled
concurrently with the meeting. A determination can be made that a
supplemental meeting system is not available. Accordingly, participants
can be notified of the meeting time and that supplemental meeting service
information has not been determined. The method also can include
attempting to obtain the supplemental meeting service information from
the supplemental meeting system until a predetermined time prior to the
meeting time. If the supplemental meeting service information is obtained
before the predetermined time prior to the meeting time, the participants
can be notified of the supplemental meeting service information.
