No sign on wrc.com on place where sponsors are.

They're used to be an open source company, but recently had a Microsoft exec as their CEO and made a deal with Microsoft to make Windows Phone 7 phones and also considering close sourcing Symbian. Also seem to have dropped their Maemo/Meego development. Doesn't seem promising ahead.Quote:

Are the banners supplied by Rally Jordan or the WRC?
If they are a local sponsor they will still be on the stages, with no commitment to the WRC
There's no local logo on jordanrally.com... so, maybe it's like Delphi in Portugal.Quote:
