Symbian in Motion

Symbian Signed Sings a Different Tune!

Was it a result of the public outcry? Was it all a big misunderstanding due to a mis-worded preliminary announcement? Is Bounty really the quicker picker-upper? We may never know answers to any of those questions but from the looks of the new statement on the Symbian Signed homepage, we all have done a superb job in getting through to them:

Web site maintenance and Developer Certificates

Please be aware that the Symbian Signed web site is undergoing a hardware upgrade to resolve the performance issues that are present on the site currently, this will be complete early next week. The issues that we have had have forced us to disable Developer Certificates for users. This is to reduce the load that there currently is on the hardware. We understand that users will require Developer Certificates before the hardware installation is completed next week and this is done by the following process:
If you require Developer Certificates for testing an application you are developing please send an email with the following information to symbiansigned@symbian.com
Subject: Developer Certificate enable request:
User name
First Name Last Name
Application Name
Application Version
Company Name
Company Address
Please only send this request if you urgently need Developer Certificates and cannot wait until next week when ALL accounts will have this functionality enabled. If you are a Platinum Partner of Symbian please contact your partner manager.

The second to last sentence is the interesting part. Apparently they will be restoring ALL accounts rather than just developer accounts as we were pretty clearly told by their first announcement. This means that once their maintenance is complete we all should be able to continue getting out developer certs.

What ever the case was, if this is true then we all owe Symbian Signed a ‘thank you’ for listening to the people who keep them in business - the customers.

A big thanks to the friendly, warm and fuzzy mooninite for pointing out the new message and inspiring me to appreciate the value of literacy. :)
