At the end of the year it is traditional to wish everyone a happy holiday as it seems almost every culture has a celebration at this time of year.  I have been very blessed to have been manager of one of the most enthusiastic group of developer one can imagine.  Forum Experts and Forum Champions contribute their expertise for no reward other than the satisfaction of helping others.  I wish to take this time to thank everyone that has taken part of the Nokia developer’s community by either by asking or answering a question. I feel close to each and everyone, and would feel no less a community if we were all in the same complex and sharing a cafeteria.  I give a heartfelt thank you and happy holidays to each and everyone.

A couple notes of interest.

We have not been neglecting the discussion board as the Blogs and Wiki have grown in the past year, but being mature they have taken a back stage to the rest of the community.  In the upcoming year we will be adding new features and tweaking what works well now to make the discussion boards even more compelling.

The Forum Nokia Discussion Board’s forum experts are an unsung group of volunteers who take their own time to help others.  Almost all of them are Nokia engineers or employees who care deeply about the quality of applications for Nokia.  Since each and everyone started with no knowledge they can understand the novice and since almost everyone has developed his skills to the expert level they can also help the seasoned professional developers.  So perhaps the next time one responds to you, you might want to thank him or her for their taking the time to help.
