Symbian Foundation that took the platform open source is shutting down its virtual doors. Come December 17, the foundation that hosts all the open-source code, big fixes and documentation for the OS is shutting down its websites. 
As reads a message on its website, "Recently, we announced that the Symbian Foundation will be transitioning to a licensing body. In practise this will mean a reduction in the day-to-day operations of the Foundation by the end of the year. As a result, we expect our websites will be shutting down on 17th December. We are working hard to make sure that most of the content accessible through web services (such as the source code, kits, wiki, bug database, reference documentation & Symbian Ideas) is available in some form, most likely on a DVD or USB hard drive upon request to the Symbian Foundation. Preparing this content will take some time, hence it will not be distributable before 31st January 2011."
The websites that will be affected include:
* www.symbian.org, www.symbian.org/cn, www.symbian.org/jp
* developer.symbian.org, developer.symbian.org/cn, developer.symbian.org/jp, kernel.symbian.org
* horizon.symbian.org
* ideas.symbian.org
* blog.symbian.org, blogcn.symbian.org, blogjp.symbian.org
