Presence and IntComm WG

[Steve Blair <>]

Jeremy:

 I'd be interested in a discussion about integration of IM into campus
IM services or between campus and IM service providers. This should
include talks about authentication and protocol interoperability. Anything
less than this probably doesn't belong in an I2 MM  presentation.

 Also I spoke with Nortel yesterday. The local Sales nudge believes he
or someone from Nortel would be available to speak at the I2 MM. The
idea of a Nortel person speaking came up because of a side conversation
about Nortel's latest wireless LAN products and how they fit into a health
care setting. Apparently Nortel has built some degree of location tracking
into their APs. This Sales person said he might be able to get someone
to speak about how Nortel is working with Vocera. Should I encourage
him or not?

Thanks,Steve
