Richard Bloor, a new addition to the AAS editorial team, recently talked to Thibaut Rouffineau, from the Symbian Foundation, on a range of topics including the challenges and opportunities in setting-up to support developers, how developers might contribute to the platform and the role of academia in the software industry.

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome our latest contributor to All About Symbian, Richard Bloor. Richard has been writing about Symbian since 2001 with a focus on developer and enterprise aspect of the platform, which reflects his background as a software development and testing manager. With Richard on board we are planning to expand the developer section on AAS with more news and features.
