Eric Bustarret
Eric Bustarret is the founder of the NewLC.com web site, the result of two years of hard work. Eric spent most of his professional life working for mobile phone manufacturers. He discovered Symbian OS at really early stage while evaluating operating systems for a mobile manufacturer?s smartphone project. After a bit of training, architecture work, ETEL and TSY stuff, etc., Eric faced the task of creating a team of 20 ? 30 engineers with Symbian OS skills. Not finding all the required resources, he created NewLC, a place where everyone could share their knowledge and learn from others.
