The official website of the Symbian Foundation was closed today and its main business was handed over to Nokia.

Official website of Symbian Foundation
It has been closed today, and most people have completed their resignation procedures. As a milestone event, this means that the main business of the Symbian Foundation has been handed over to Nokia. Nokia has opened a new site symbian.nokia.com
In the future, it will undertake "more direct and open guidance" for developers ". The new site is also the main communication channel in the transitional period.

Although the website is closed, the transition team will save important data on an FTP server for developers to download. Including source code, Development kits, documents, and databases (Bugzilla, wiki, forums, ideas, and Symbian horizon ). Developers can give contact@symbian.org
Send an email asking for FTP information. This service has been running until January 1, March 31, 2011.

In the last greeting, the Symbian Foundation thanked everyone for their contributions:

We would like to express our sincere thanks to you for helping the Symbian Foundation reach this milestone. We are proud of these achievements. This is even the largest transitional project in computer history, including handing over the largest code library in software history. We sincerely thank the whole society for its support.

The important difference between the Symbian Foundation and the Symbian platform is that although the Symbian Foundation is absent, the Symbian platform is preparing to write a new chapter. Nokia will continue to use Symbian as its main device system.

Continue to open source? Of course, Nokia will continue to open the future Symbian source code, and may use a "similarly open license" for authorization. Details will be announced in the first quarter of next year.
