Apprise multi-messenger plugin support for APRS

[joergschultzelutter]

Hello Hessu,

I am in the process of finalizing my work on an multi-messenger plugin for APRS. The multi-messenger in question allows users to send content to messenger clients such as Telegram, MS Teams etc through the initiation of a single program call. My plugin will enable authorized ham radio users to send messages to 1..n APRS call signs.

For illustration purposes: The plugin in question is an amended version of my DAPNET messenger plugin for Apprise which allows ham radio users to send messages to the DAPNET pager network. My new plugin will send a single up-to-67-chars APRS message to 1..n call signs and has already been successfully tested.

• Original "Apprise" repository
• Forked work version

My work's focus solely lies on the single APRS plugin and NOT on the whole Apprise software package. I am aware of the regulation where one should not request a TOCALL on another person's behalf - however, the author of the multi-messenger software is not a licensed ham radio amateur and therefore cannot state this request. Therefore, I suggest using my contact details on the author's behalf.

Basic summary:

tocall : your choice
(Plugin) vendor: Joerg, DF1JSL
(Software) vendor: Chris, https://github.com/caronc
model: Apprise
contact: joerg.schultze.lutter@gmail.com
OS: Multiple
Class: service
Features: messaging

Additionally, please consider updating my existing APRS bot's TOCALL information - initially assigned by the late Bob Bruninga:

Current setting:

"APMPAD" : { "vendor" : "DF1JSL", "model" : "WXBot clone and extension"

The bot has grown way past of its original scope, meaning that I no longer consider it as a mere clone. My suggested update:

tocall: APMPAD
Vendor: Joerg, DF1JSL
contact: joerg.schultze.lutter@gmail.com
model: Multi-Purpose APRS Daemon
OS: Multiple
Class: service
Features: messaging

Thank you!

Hi,

Since the request is for the plugin, I'll register as follows:

 - tocall: APPRIS
   vendor: DF1JSL
   model: Apprise APRS plugin
   class: service
   contact: joerg.schultze.lutter@gmail.com
   features:
     - messaging

I hope that's OK. Also updating the APMPAD entry. I've dropped the OS: Multiple as such entries are not present in other allocations; I believe it's not necessary to specify OS if it's multiplatform. Let me know if there are further changes or improvements needed.
