I just joined the Skype Developers Program. I can do development for desktop clients using the Windows DLLs, but for embedded devices, I have this status:
"Thanks for your interest - you’ll receive an email when we are ready to invite you into the program."

Elsewhere in the original 2010 Announcement, they said they have a limited number of developer slots available. I hope they have room left for me.

It looks like we are allowed to use leodevua's skypekit key pair:

Of course.

> Is it possible to get the distribution key pair for the software component?

Yes but keep in mind that if someone misuses that keypair (writes an automated spammer for example), forcing us to block it, that would affect others as well. Not that we have blocked anyone so far, but such possibility exists.

We don't really have a distribution channel for third party libs, as such. Then again, hosting it on your own should not be terribly difficult.

The only risk is that if it gets abused, such as used by a spammer, it could get blocked. So, leodevua's skypekit key pair should probably be distributed by PM instead of publishing a download link.

well, assuming leodevua would even let us use it. That would be great.

However in the interim, in about 30 days this Gui is going south. So I'm not going to get too attached to it

Hmm, yeah.

use a launcher or do via ssh.

check the wiki for details or search for the threads on SSH or Extension launcher - something like that.

or there-abouts

any future-proofing plans in the offing?

[geekmaster]

I applied for a Skype license, but like my KDK application from long ago, I am still waiting.

[leodevua]

The new version skype3.zip is added. Development keys pair "keypair.pem" will expire on 18 November 2012. I will update them 19/11/2012 for next 60 days.

Skype Certification Process
There are four steps in the Skype certification process:
1.Request a certification test.
2.Pay the associated fees.
3.Submit your product—in its final packaging and with its user manual—to Skype’s certification test center.
4.Receive your results once testing has been completed: •Pass: request your distribution key pair!
•Fail: make the necessary corrections and re-submit your product for testing.

Requesting a certification test
To request certification testing for your product(s):
1.For each product you plan to submit, please complete a Test Request form: •Type your identification, contact, and product description information in the appropriate fields.
•Select SkypeKit from the Product Type drop-down list box.
2.Pay the applicable fee(s).


Paying your test fees
Skype charges a $2000 (USD) fee for each Certification lab test. Typically one full test round consists of both an Audio and a Video test – this would cost $4000 (USD). An invoice can be issued upon receipt of this fee and acceptance of your Test Request. We use PayPal for all invoicing and payments.

Yep. sounds familiar. MS have a much similar "Send us money until we say stop" system for certifying products

If you didn't notice, since awhile back, Skype *is* MS. Similar is no real surprise there.
