A new interesting thing is happening in the world of Symbian. The Symbian Developer Cooperative (Symbian DevCo), a non-profit, independent organisation has been founded to raise the profile of individuals within the Symbian community and give them a voice in the governance of the Symbian platform.
Here’s the problem. Although Symbian Foundation has turned Symbian OS into an open-source project, only the member companies can vote on the future direction of the platform. Enter Symbian DevCo, which will gather individuals who now could participate in the shaping of the future of Symbian Foundation.
Symbian DevCo is yet another member of the Foundation, but its members are not employees of a carrier or handset maker – but regular folks, like you and me (known as Associates) who want to see Symbian’s comeback.
Now the question is – whether this will help drive Symbian forward. With Android rapidly racing to the top, every additional help could help Nokia & Co… If you’re interested to participate, hop over to Symbian DevCo’s website and sign-up.
