Where are all the open-source mobile developers?

Author admin    Category News     Tags

Even as Google and other technology companies bet big on mobile computing, open-source developers seem to be fixated with "desktop" and server environments. If the future is mobile, why isn't this where open-source developers are focusing?

To be fair, some are. There are a few open-source applications for the iPhone, including WordPress and Doom Classic, and others like Shelves for Google's Android. But these are the exceptions, not the rule.

And, yes, we have important open-source platform projects like Android, Funambol, etc., but there are relatively few, particularly in the area of applications.

This is a bit disconcerting given statements like Google CEO Eric Schmidt's: "The answer should always be mobile first." If Google, Apple, etc., see mobile as their first priority, can open source afford to put mobile last?

"The day I came to Bangalore was 1st Dec, 2010. I was totally unknown about the process of selection. The first company I went for interview was Sasken. Unfortunately that day it was postponed. After couple of days I again got a walk-in for R2K software. It was scheduled at 8:30 am. I decided to reach before that and I even reached around 7:30 am. No one can believe a small space filled with more than 1200 others like me. I was not even able to give the written test ..


But it taught me a great lesson. "There Is No Self Identity of The Water Drop If Its Color Is Same As That of The Sea." So I decided to change my Color. i.e Searching for a very good technology who can give my identity. That evening I searched and registered on couple of websites of training institutes and got the invitation from Swagatika mam(HR) from FresherLab the same day. They given  a brief description about ANDROID related course. I made my mind to learn Android after vast search for the best technology is just a new born kid who is rising against all seasoned players. When I met the HR, they told I am having 45% in 12th and not elegible for ANDROID. I simply smiled. I told them that I made my decision. I don't want your assurance bond or any guarantee. Just give me the receipt what i will pay to you. I believe when someone is determined and dedicated towards the goal, they never fails in life...When I completed the course even though it took little more than the decided they kept their words. This time The Android is Booming so the recruitment. They gave me seven companies and now I got the placement in Enovate Media Solutions "


This is FresherLab and I made my Identity ...!!!


Thank You FresherLab Team. Special thanks to Mr. Ambuj (Director), Mr. Sajan (HR Manager).
