Cross-posted from the main Skype blog.

I’m happy to report that Jason Fischl has recently joined Skype as Director of Developer Relations. Among other things, he’ll be heading up the Skype Developer Program.

Jason’s no newcomer to the world of VoIP. Before Skype, he was Chief Technology Officer at CounterPath, the leading developer of cross platform softphones for desktops and mobile convergence products for the likes of AT&T, BT and Verizon.

Personally, I’m thrilled about Jason joining. We have a great opportunity to revitalize our developer program and he has the skills and experience to lead this effort. He has an excellent track record working with industry standards bodies like the IETF in and is a thought leader in open source software development.

Last month, Skype made news when we offered our advanced SILK speech technology – which is incorporated into Skype 4.0 for Windows – to developers for free, and positioned it as a new standard for high quality audio.

Jason’s new role will allow Skype to do more in this direction, continuing to give third-party developers access to tools like SILK – and making Skype a platform for ground-breaking innovation.

Hola. Tengo contratado "país sin límite" durante 3 meses, pero llevo un par de días que no me deja realizar llamadas, y me pone que es porque he superado el limite diario de llamadas, pero esto es imposible porque por ejemplo en el día de hoy no me ha dejado realizar ninguna llamada con lo cual no he consumido ni un solo minuto. Por favor, espero una respuesta-solución lo antes posible.
Atentamente. Miriam_balle

I am looking for someone that may be able to help us with a project. We have a client that wants their customers to be able to pull up their database record in our Cynergy Help Desk Software. After they log a ticket, They make a Skype call from the desktop. The Help Desk on the other end gets a "Screen Pop" of the ticket information on their screen, and the Skype call at the same time. This would require some degree of integration between our Cynergy Application (ASP.net/SQL) and Skype. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Skype is evil because Skype will permanently keep your Skype account no matter what. After the time-wasting hassle of sending e-mail concerns and sending e-mail complaints regarding account deactivation and account cancellation when I don't need these guys, Skype is evil - because once you sign up, their genetically-engineered artificial toxic will preserve their names and their personal data so they will never decompose and will never corrode as they will linger throughout the servers of soul-less minds. If anything like this, Skype will end up becoming like a landfill full of unused accounts, making it not efficient and not good for the server environment.

So before you sign up at Skype, you better think of a good reason about why they will keep their account names for no reason. Skype is evil.
