abstract = "This project proposes Libre Texting: a new incarnation of the Mobile Email/
Wireless Texting (henceforth ``Texting'') medium, based on the Free Software
ideology. Today the Texting industry is dominated by the proprietary, walled
garden model. Libre Texting aims to provide equivalent functionality to
existing proprietary Texting solutions such as BlackBerry, but (a) based
entirely on patent-free protocols and free software, (b) using any mobile
Internet device, (c) wherever any type of wireless Internet connectivity is
available. The proposed approach comprises five elements: (1) the inherent
propagative power of the Free Software and end-to-end models, (2) an overlay
network architecture, (3) a new set of messaging protocols, (4) a novel
software architecture for Message Transfer Agent integration, and (5) a new
software architecture for multiform device integration, based on Device-
Resident End-MTA middleware. The proposed technology is highly synergistic with
current industry dynamics, including: burgeoning recognition of the power of
FOSS, ready availability of Linux-based mobile devices, and widespread Wi-Fi
availability. Existing email protocols lack push-mode delivery, and bandwidth
and power efficiency; the proposed new protocol profile corrects these
shortcomings. The proposed research is to determine feasibility of all critical
elements of this approach at large scale.",
