Just a quick note to point you to a great blog post from Ilkka Syrjälä of Ixonos about the business value of contributing to the Symbian platform.

When Ixonos is contributing to platform development together with others, thus becoming more attractive to companies using Symbian, we are demonstrating our expertise. Ixonos’ visibility in open communities results in new contacts and business opportunities. Being part of the Symbian platform development also means a better understanding of where the platform is going and what the platform strategy is.”
