The Future of SMS Framework -- Thursday 1:45-

We are interested in getting together to chat about the roadmap of the SMS Framework and providing services via SMS.

The MIT Mobile Experience Lab created a similar, but different, actions system for the SMS Framework at the same time that Development Seed was working on theirs. We think there may be room for merging the two paths to build a versatile, usable SMS service system for Drupal.

Brian McMurray (bmcmurray) and Steve Pomeroy (xxvelcrar) from the Mobile Experience Lab will be around in room 156. Look for Steve with his Linux beret and long hair.

Some thoughts to get started:

Currently, SMS, Email and XMPP in Drupal serve quite different roles. SMS and email is for Server →/↔ User interaction, whereas XMPP is for User(s) ↔ User(s) communication. However, abstracting out the underlying protocols (all of them are identity + message communication systems) may allow for more than just one way of interacting with a Drupal system using just simple, short textual messages.
