Just a few days before the start of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, the Symbian Foundation says it’s making a name for itself in the industry.
The group’s leadership team is in place and is engaging with its rapidly growing ecosystem of developers, hardware manufacturers and other partners. The foundation also has ramped up its recruitment drive.
The Symbian Foundation will be an exhibitor at the MWC from Feb. 16-19. The organization will participate in the Mobile Application Developer Garage and WIP Jam: Day for Developers. Symbian’s executive director, Lee Williams, will deliver his view of open source in mobile.
Founding members of Symbian include giants like AT&T, Motorola, Nokia and Samsung. According to its Web site, the foundation was created to “provide royalty-free open platform and accelerate innovation” in the mobile industry.
"We already have fantastic support from across the industry and Mobile World Congress will provide an excellent forum to meet and share ideas, perspectives and insight with both new and existing supporters, with the ultimate aim of benefiting our community members," said Williams.
