We believe in rough consensus and running code.

Governance

Project managers: Manc, Ralphis, deathz0r
Lead coder: Voxel

Development

Current maintainers can be found in the MAINTAINERS file, distributed with the source code. These are people who volunteer time to work on odamex. If you wish to improve odamex without commitment, you can send us patches. We will generally expect many patches from you over a period of time before you get listed as a maintainer and are given svn access.

Maintenance

Alongside the game development, the community administrates the following systems

The odamex web site, maintained by Manc
Primary master server (status), maintained by Manc
Secondary master server (status), maintained by Voxel
The odamex IRC channel
SVN repository, maintained by Manc
The documentation, maintained by deathz0r and AlexMax
Public game servers, maintained by their respective administrators

Testing

Please find and report bugs. If you are involved in testing, you should generally build odamex in debug mode and run it from within a debugger. Should you experience a crash, you should file a bug that includes the complete call stack (backtrace).

Views

First and foremost, our community is strongly against cheating.

Secondly, we are against the "big brother" mentality. Our reach and authority only applies across the services we provide. The Odamex team is not interested in policing every server, nor are we interested in micromanaging every little bit of use of our products. It is thanks to the individuals that volunteer their time that we are able to offer what we do to you, the player.

We are for transparency, open discussion and understanding of issues, and we are always willing to discuss them rationally if a problem happens to arise.
