If you'd like to meet Skype software partners, swing by Skype North America's Open House BBQ this Thursday afternoon, 27 September, in San Jose, California. Jim Courtney and I will see you there.

If you liked the Skype Mashup Contest, check out the Sylantro Mashup Contest, starting now, organized by Thomas Howe and Mashable. The Sylantro contest is open to any tools or technologies so long as you're making great demonstrations of voice technologies in mashups.
