Meqaris (Meeting Equipment and Room Invitation System) is a system that allows booking meeting/conference rooms and other equipment or resources (like mobile whiteboards, projectors or conference audio/video sets) by using the same type of e-mail invitations that are used to invite participants to meetings. Especially useful in corporate environments, but can be used for anything in general, even by individual users.

Simply add "resource participants" to the recipient list (just like other attendees) of your e-mail invitation to book the resource and wait for a response.
