Re: [Opl-dev-development] A new OPL recruit?

[Arjen B. <ar...@us...>]

Hi Alex

Thanks for your email and yes, I'm actually reading this :-)

You're right that there hasn't been much (actually none at all) activity on
the sourceforge pages, but some work is definitely ongoing. A lot of bugs i=
n
the 9300/9500 runtime have been fixed and a new release for the Communicato=
r
is only a couple of weeks away.

The kind of help we need is in the development of the runtime, which is
written in Symbian C++. All of this is done on PC. For S80 we have a pretty
stable runtime, for UIQ we have a beta that still needs a lot of work and
for Series 60 we have almost nothing. For Series 60 we need an experienced
Symbian C++ developer who can help us to essentially rewrite the entire
runtime to work on newer S60 phones. For UIQ and Communicator anyone with a
little knowledge of Symbian programming can help out already.

If you have knowledge about S60 C++ programming I'd be happy to have you in
the team. And even if you don't you're welcome as well since, as you
mentioned, we also need to test the changes made.

Can you provide me with a little more information as to your programming
skills, interests and how you might be able to help out, based on the
information above?

Thanks in advance

Best regards
Arjen
