Symbian is looking for an executive director
Symbian recently decided to open source its leading mobile platform in order to stave off potential declines at the hands of embedded Linux. With increasing momentum and support for open-source Symbian, it's time for Symbian to get a leader on board.
I recently heard that the Symbian Foundation is looking for an executive director. The position is based in London, but does not come with season tickets to Arsenal, so I'm out! :-)
If you're interested, I'd be happy to pass you the recruiter's details. I think it sounds like a fascinating opportunity and the right way to grow Symbian's influence.
