Russell has posted details of the upcoming Google Summer of Code 2010:

Greetings,

The period for organizations to apply for participation in the Google Summer of Code program for 2010 is next week. That means that by the end of next week, we need to put together a couple of things:

1) I need to know who would be willing to mentor a student. This is not an extremely large commitment. You are there to provide some technical guidance, as well as general guidance for how to interact with the Asterisk development community. If you have questions about being a mentor, there are a number of people on this list that have done this before and can provide feedback. Feel free to also contact me directly on this topic.

2) We need a suggested projects list. Historically, I think our project ideas have been a bit too big. We need to aim for coming up with projects more concretely achievable in a summer for a college student not necessarily familiar with the Asterisk code base. I think coming up with ideas for specific tests to implement is a really good area to think about. Please post any project ideas that you have so that we can discuss them and get them on the list.

I will be gathering project ideas and saving them here:

Dear...

Thanks for maintaining such a nice blog.

I am following up to see if you can review or at least try service from InVox (http://www.invox.com).

InVox (Intelligent Voice) allows you to configure a fortune-500 phone system in 5 mins without custom coding with Speech Recognition. We won the Best of Show at IT Expo for their intuitive do-it-yourself web 2.0 designer.

The system is simple with drag and drop interface. Its web based Visio allowing you to create voice mashups. Out of the box, Invox integrates with CRM (Salesforce, Sugar, Zoho), database, web services, payment gateways, online calendars, surveys, auto answering service, diaster notifications, locators and much more.

Our showcases include integrations with Twitter (say and leave your twee), Yelp, Salesforce, Yahoo and others.

Invox is also offering a free PBX with call forwarding to Skype and Google Talk.

I would like to schedule a time with you to showcase a demonstration of the system. As a token of appreciation, I will be willing to provide you with a free phone system with 250 mins each month for your company.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best
