Do you have a Symbian app? Have you submitted it yet to the Horizon program?
Just a couple of weeks after SEE 2009 and the launch of the Symbian Horizon beta site the Horizon Team is already working hard on processing more applications into the Directory Program and evaluating applications for the Publishing Program. We look forward to working with everyone in our community of application developers.
How can you participate in the Symbian Horizon program?
Option 1 - All developers can have their Symbian Signed applications appear in the Symbian Horizon Directory free of charge. The goal of the directory is to provide a complete guide to every Symbian Signed application, as well as where they can be downloaded or purchased. The directory is live in beta we are encouraging developers to submit other applications that have already been signed here.
Option 2 - The Symbian Horizon publisher program will begin to increase the number of applications processed through Symbian Signed and submitted to application store partners over the next few months. In addition to the first group of 50 applications, another 50 applications will be processed through the review and signing process and submitted to all participating stores at no cost to the developer. A comprehensive program designed to process thousands of applications will be launched in 2010. You can apply for the publishing program here.
The Symbian Horizon program will be continually evolving – please don’t hesitate to send us your ideas for the program.
On Option 1: Am I silly to think that Symbian Signed catalogue should be known by Symbian Foundation and that you should be able to just put it out right away? Or do you need the developers permission to do so? I realise you may not be aware where it can be purchased/downloaded, but that could be something you could add later.

Hi Viipottaje
You are right in saying that we do need the developers permission to publish their information, also we need to collect more data for the directory such as screen shots, descriptions, store links etc
Ok, makes sense. How about – can you not simply send an email/letter to all Symbian Signed app developers (perhap you have) to directly and proactively ask for that permission?
