9. A computer program product residing on a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

associating an electronic meeting with a calendar appointment;

identifying content associated with the electronic meeting; and

providing a portion of the content to a computing device associated with a user based upon, at least in part, receiving an indication that the user intends to participate in the electronic meeting, wherein the indication is associated with the calendar appointment.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein providing the portion of the content occurs prior to the start of the electronic meeting.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein providing the portion of the content occurs during a time of low load for a server associated with providing the portion of the content.

12. The computer program product of claim 10 wherein the indication that the user intends to participate in the electronic meeting is received after the start of the electronic meeting.

13. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the operations further comprise:

providing, during the electronic meeting, to the computing device associated with the user, a truncated instruction set for the display, during the electronic meeting, of a view of the portion of the content.

14. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the operations further comprise:

providing, to the computing device associated with the user, an update to the portion of the content.

15. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the provided portion of content is stored by a calendar application associated with the calendar appointment.

16. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the provided portion of content is stored as part of one or more of an activities server, an online community, a wiki, and a team room.

17. A computer system comprising:

one or more processor devices; and

one or more memory architectures coupled with the one or more processor devices;

wherein the one or more processor devices are configured to;

associate an electronic meeting with a calendar appointment;

identify content associated with the electronic meeting; and

provide a portion of the content to a computing device associated with a user based upon, at least in part, receiving an indication that the user intends to participate in the electronic meeting, wherein the indication is associated with the calendar appointment.

18. The computer system of claim 17 wherein providing the portion of the content occurs prior to the start of the electronic meeting.

19. The computer system of claim 18 wherein providing the portion of the content occurs during a time of low load for a server associated with providing the portion of the content.

20. The computer system of claim 17 wherein the indication that the user intends to participate in the electronic meeting is received after the start of the electronic meeting.

21. The computer system of claim 17 wherein the one or more processor devices are further configured to:

provide, during the electronic meeting, to the computing device associated with the user, a truncated instruction set for the display, during the electronic meeting, of a view of the portion of the content.

22. The computer system of claim 17 wherein the one or more processor devices are further configured to:

provide, to the computing device associated with the user, an update to the portion of the content.

23. The computer system of claim 17 wherein the provided portion of content is stored by a calendar application associated with the calendar appointment.

24. The computer system of claim 17 wherein the provided portion of content is stored as part of one or more of an activities server, an online community, a wiki, and a team room.
