For the September meetup, we will have a presentation on SMS integration with Drupal. This is primarily done through the SMS Framework module: http://drupal.org/project/smsframework.
The SMS Framework is set of modules that enables interaction between mobile users and Drupal using SMS. Several popular SMS gateways are supported and the included API allows developers to add support for additional gateways. The API also allows other modules to implement SMS features.
The SMS Framework allows you to:
* Send SMS messages using any supported gateway
* Collect, confirm, and store mobile information for Drupal users
* Send batch messages to Drupal users
* Allow users to send nodes or portions of nodes to mobile phones
We will also discuss some methods of collecting SMS messages from users.

Thanks Rohan for a great presentation. Its great to learn about everything that is possible with the SMS framework, especially in a country where not everyone has internet access but everyone has a digicel. SMS is a good way to reach the wider population.
