Screenshot for Symbian OS Goes Open Source!
Screenshot February 27th. 2007, 10:19pmActually I don’t want to reveal this today because there are still some other things to do. Unfortunately (or may be fortunately) cyke64 has smelled this new project. That’s why; I decided to officially announce it today.
Ladies and gentlemen… I am proudly announcing Screenshot for Symbian OS goes open source. The source code is hosted by SourceForget.net at http://sourceforge.net/projects/screenshot-sos/. The project is distributed under GPL (General Public License) scheme.
Why do I decide to make the application as an open source project?
- I want to give this application to the Symbian OS community out there. I have chosen GPL scheme to make sure that everybody can receive the copy of the binary as well as the source code free of charge.
- As you may know, there are more and more Symbian OS devices coming out. Since I cannot buy and test on all of those devices, I need a way for people to helping me to debug and fix any problem and/or binary breaks.
As a starting point, I publish the source code and binary (unsigned) of the beta version of Screenshot for Symbian OS version 2.70.
I hope that my small contribution is useful for the whole Symbian OS community.

@cien2: Nokia 3660 is S60 1st Edition. This application should support it. I haven’t tested it on that particular phone though.

Bravo ! Much appreciated – I’m one of those who always prefer reading source while learning a new platform, and the more freely available source code there is for Symbian, the greater the chance that we’ll have more innovative applications developed.
