Hi all,

We use opaque user names here (ex: w00005414) and we give everyone an 
email alias of lastname_firstname. It is not an issue with our current 
email and calendaring systems but we are being asked to research Google 
Apps and the not-so-obvious username is creating issues.... especially 
with calendar invites (we figured out the email side). People do not 
know what to do when they receive a calendar invite from

"w00005414@wheatoncollege.edu"

We talked to Google about this and they said there is no way to change 
the calendar owner setting within your calendar.

How are people dealing with this?
