“16 out of a total 134 platform packages have now been released
into open source since the code was first made available on the
Symbian Foundation servers in April 2009.

“”The release of the microkernel demonstrates three vital,
guiding principles of the foundation: first, the commitment of many
community members to the development of the platform – in this
case, Accenture, ARM, Nokia and Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI)
all made contributions; second, progress in fulfilling our
commitment to a complete open source release of Symbian; and third,
a tangible example of providing the most advanced mobile platform
in the world” said Lee Williams, Executive Director, Symbian
Foundation.”
