CommuniGate Systems Unveils CommuniGate Pro 5.0 Programming Contest; LinuxWorld Sets the Stage for the Future of VoIP with CommuniGate Pro Demonstrations.

CommuniGate Systems:

What:       CommuniGate Systems (a division of Stalker Software)
            is kicking off a contest at LinuxWorld challenging all
            programmers to develop the best "voice application" using
            CG/PL (CommuniGate Programming Language). The top VoIP
            application developed will be packaged with the new
            release of CommuniGate Pro 5.0. In addition, winning
            submissions will be published together with the author's
            credentials to the CommuniGate community. CG/PL is a
            flexible and powerful but still very simple new procedural
            language that aims to tear down the old, complex (but
            still primitive) proprietary PBX systems by making voice
            systems accessible and even fun.

            The prizes for the top 5 submissions will be:


            --  $3,000 in cash, a free license of CommuniGate Pro 5.0
                (100 users), and the winner's application will be
                shipped with the version 5.0 product.

            --  The four contest runners-up will receive a free
                license of CommuniGate Pro version 5.0 (50 users) and
                two Polycom SIP phones (model 501). In addition, their
                applications will be made available for use with
                CommuniGate Pro as part of our community application
                library.
