<P>Folks,<BR><BR>I know this is slightly off-topic but I thought I'd share as I
know some of you are into building IP phone services and other applications for
your CM deployments. The Cisco Unified Application Environment (CUAE) team has
just released a beta of our next version, CUAE 2.4. This beta is available for
free to anyone with a CCO guest account. The official CUAE page at Cisco is
here: <A
href="http://www.cisco.com/web/developer/cuae/">http://www.cisco.com/web/developer/cuae/</A>.
This page provides links to the CUAE downloads as well as pointers to the 2.4
beta documentation.</P>
<P>Along with this release we are also making available a set of CUAE sample
applications to the open source community. These applications include both
simple examples that exercise various features of the CUAE as well as a complete
production quality Application Suite (formerly the Metreos Application Suite).
These applications and their source can be downloaded from SourceForge at this
link: <A
href="http://cuaesdk.sourceforge.net/">http://cuaesdk.sourceforge.net/</A>.</P>
<P>Finally, when CUAE 2.4 is generally available you won't be out in the cold if
you want to build applications. The GA version of CUAE 2.4 will also be
downloadable for free to anyone with a CCO guest account, just like the beta.
You will be able to use the free software for non-production purposes: build
apps, test them out, tinker, whatever.</P>
<P>Oh yeah, one more thing: the free download comes with 6 ports of media
processing for the CUAE media engine. This gives you the ability to build
applications that do IVR, conferencing, text-to-speech and other media like
things. Again, this is all bundled with the free download.</P>
<P>Give it a whirl, and if you need help please come on over to the CUAE Yahoo!
Group (<A

(#cuae on DalNet).</P>
<P>Enjoy!</P>
