Get Involved!

The project is driven by a community of passionate and intelligent volunteers. To get involved, first join our mailing list to get support and take part in the technical discussions.

Next, to get started making your own device, get a BeagleBoard and build a Symbian^3 ROM image for it.

Once you have a working device, take part in the project by adding missing functionality! Right now, we need help with:

Touch LCD support
Bluetooth support
WiFi support

and more.

And if you're in London, drop by our office in London for help and tips. We typically work on the project on Tuesday evenings starting around 6 pm, and we always provide pizza!
