The OGF staff are a dedicated group of members from all over the world. We genuinely believe in the power of the community to do great things and we serve to give the community the platform it needs to reach its full potential.

Notes: Names are listed in alphabetical order. OGF1.0 staff consisted of the Openlancer committee (all development group leaders). While an informal pecking order has emerged the staff are responsible to the community and each other. Staff can exercise administrative imperative to make major changes which benefit the community but only when no consensus can be reached in a reasonable amount of time (e.g. during emergencies or extreme lulls in member activity). Community consensus through democratic-technocratic discorse is the final authority.

Website Staff

The website staff keep the site up and running, and are also the development team for the OGF Project. The OGF Project Leadership handled jointly by the Webmasters and Administrators.

Webmasters

Webmasters own the servers on which this site is hosted, they carry the legal liability so they have final authority over all site content which could be considered illegal, copyright infringement, or violation of the terms of service for an upstream service provider. Ultimately this role will be dissolved when OGF becomes a non-profit foundation, as a legal entity it will have ownership and the related liability, then it will pass to the administrators safe guard the hosting resources.

• MegaBurn: Credited with organizing OGF, OGF1.0 site development, OGF2.0 site development, OGF2.5 site development, organizing the OGF Summit, and in general carrying the torch.

• Webmaster: Generic account used to implement changes jointly agreed upon by site staff -or- during site development. Members with access: dotCOM, Leshrac, MegaBurn, and Rinso.

Administrators

Administrators help maintain the website in general.

• dotCOM: Head of the OpenGameForge Development Team and Openlancer Lead Programmer

OpenGameForge Development Team

The game engine and middleware projects split off from Openlancer are lead by dotCOM, his team is still being organized. The other community projects are still being organized.

Note: Department planned for OGF2.0 was never completed. Future departments will be created based on community needs -and- availability of active, committed, experienced staff volunteers. Examples of thexe include community relations, site content, one department per game genre, one per fully covered AAA commercial game with modforge, one per large community initiatve, etc... In OGF1.0 and planning for OGF2.0 a series of departments were defined in detail with the intention of recruiting staff to get them running, but this approach failed to work - in some cases there was no immediate need and the few department staff members who were recruited shifted over to general site staff for a while before disappearing.
