The Symbian Foundation was established by some of the biggest names in the mobile industry to create the most proven, open and complete mobile software platform in the world - and to make it available for free. In November 2010 it was announced that the Foundation would ramp down its operational activities as a result of changes in global economic and market conditions. It has now completed the transition from a non-profit organisation responsible for governing the open development and curation of the Symbian platform, to a licensing entity with no permanent staff. Moving forward, the Foundation is responsible only for specific licensing and legal frameworks put in place during the open sourcing of the platform. We would like to extend our deepest thanks to everyone who contributed to the major milestones achieved at the Symbian Foundation. We can all be proud of these accomplishments – some not seen before in the history of computing, such as the completion of the largest transition to open source of any commercial codebase in software history. We would also like to extend warm thanks to the entire member community for their continued commitment to the Symbian platform.
