            Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging
How do you chat?




     Which IM programs do you use?
     How many accounts on each?
     Do you communicate with the same people over multiple
     services?
     How often do you use email/SMS to communicate with
     these people?




          Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging
Does the server decide whether you can chat or not?




     How often has a service gone down for maintenance while
     you’re in a conversation?
     What happens to your conversation?
     What happens to your train of thought?
     What happens to logs of the conversation – if any?




          Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging
Do you know your friends by their names or their handles?

           Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging
The idea behind fallback messaging




     People care about people, not protocols
     Conversations should not be service dependent
     Conversation should be continuous even if the service
     changes
     Person-person messaging approaches pc-pc messaging




          Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging
So what does fallback messaging do?




     Automatically pick a protocol to use for messaging
     Automatically switch protocols if one goes down without
     worrying the user
     A single log file irrespective of protocol
     Represent a person as a single entity rather than a bunch
     of different handles




           Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging
What’s needed?




     A single client that talks multiple protocols
     The client should group different accounts of a contact into
     a single entity
     The client should be able to switch between accounts
     Perhaps an ability to prioritise the order of fallback

Act 1, Scene 1, Take 2



     Philip and Manish are chatting on MSN about their project
     MSN server goes down
     The client switches to Y!M
     Net goes down, only email working
     Client switches to email/sms
     User is notified that he’s now in async mode
     The client has a combined log of everything communicated

Can we do this today?




     FOSS clients like gaim and ayttm can do it
     Still needs some work
     FOSS clients have the edge




          Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging
Do we really need it?




     Probably in very few situations, but we sure want it :P
     Data transfer over IM is an application




           Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging
The future of IM




     Everyone’s talking about IM interoperability
     Sending structured data and not just human readable
     conversations over IM
     IM transports as a commodity with value added services
     above it




           Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02   Fallback Messaging

  • 12. The idea behind fallback messaging People care about people, not protocols Conversations should not be service dependent Conversation should be continuous even if the service changes Person-person messaging approaches pc-pc messaging Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02 Fallback Messaging
  • 13. So what does fallback messaging do? Automatically pick a protocol to use for messaging Automatically switch protocols if one goes down without worrying the user A single log file irrespective of protocol Represent a person as a single entity rather than a bunch of different handles Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02 Fallback Messaging
  • 14. What’s needed? A single client that talks multiple protocols The client should group different accounts of a contact into a single entity The client should be able to switch between accounts Perhaps an ability to prioritise the order of fallback Linux Bangalore 2004 / 2004-12-02 Fallback Messaging
