From Inspire IRCd (InspIRCd)

Core Coding

Brain

Braininspircd.org

Brain is responsible for maintaining the main InspIRCd package including the core and many of the standard modules, and he develops a lot of the modules, and does most of the bug fixes. Brain is also involved with many other projects such as the WinBot IRC Bot, Botnix IRC Bot, IRC Defender, The Seven Spells Of Destruction and The ChatSpike IRC network. Despite rumors to the contrary, Brain can create code which does not come with free bugs

Craig

Craiginspircd.org

Craig is responsible for this wonderful website you are currently looking at, he also has a knack for shellscript and Makefiles and has made the ./configure script with Makefiles in InspIRCd. He has also created a few modules, and done several bugfixes. Despite rumours to the contrary, Craig does a lot of actual development, and has added several missing features and bug fixes to the IRCd and its modules.

w00t

w00tinspircd.org

w00t started off with a lot of testing and discussion about early features and ideas, and also provided the first real documentation which is the basis of the initial text on this wiki. After working on a number of modules and patches, w00t gained SVN access, leading to a more central role in the development of InspIRCd.

Om

Ominspircd.org

Om was developing third-party modules for many months (if not years) before he was given full access at the start of 2006. Om is responsible for the GnuTLS and OpenSSL SSL modules which are available for use in InspIRCd, they are the first ever successful attempt at modulizing SSL support in any irc daemon.

Special

specialinspircd.org

Special primarily does bugfixes, improves the module API, and creates new modules. He's also special.

peavey

peaveyinspircd.org

peavey started off by being chatty, and patching stuff. After throwing patch after patch at us (and they hurt!) we eventually gave him the ability to make changes himself. In the past, peavey has mostly been involved in various commercial projects and in running #linux.dk on undernet since 1998.

fez

fezinspircd.org

fez (Eric Dietz) spends most of his time fixing bugs and keeping inspircd cross-platform between win32 and linux. He may add new features here or there but mostly has an eye for bug exterminating. The average time between mentioning his nick on IRC and getting a response is about 12 hours (but it will happen).

Code Contributors

typobox43

typobox43inspircd.org

typo has created several modules, generally oper related. He is also an 'ideas' kinda guy.

LeaChim

leachiminspircd.org

LeaChim contributed a patch to enable +qa prefixes in 1.1, plus many suggestions and bug reports.

satmd

satmdinspircd.org

satmd contributed the m_dnsbl module to InspIRCd 1.0, which was later ported to work with InspIRCd 1.1. satmd is a dedicated member of the irc-security mailing list, and coordinates a linux user group. He was the first to isolate and analyze the SHV5 rootkit and submit it for inclusion into security software.

BuildSmart

BuildSmart contributed a patchset for both 1.0 and 1.1 which allows InspIRCd to compile and run on Mac OS X.

Quality Assurance

The people below are members of the Official InspIRCd QA Team. These people have devoted time to ensuring that the releases will be bug free along with the help of other testers which are below. Thank you to everyone who for your help, we really appreciate it. A special note to users: InspIRCd QA is now in control of w00t, one of the InspIRCd Developers and will remain so indefenitly to ensure the program is being ran properly, efficiently, and most of all, timely.

Bricker

Brickerinspircd.org

Bricker is the first member of the QA Team. He was also heading up the "division" until personal life became too much. Bricker brings to the table testing experience in a few IRCd's and some IRC and Unix script testing. He has chosen to go with InspIRCd as his main IRCd for testing as he has seen the light :) He is also a bug maniac and has a knack for finding typo's in documentation and scripts ;-)

Eggy

eggyinspircd.org

Eggy was doing QA work off and on before the creation of the official QA Team, its not clear when he became a member of the team officially it just sort of "happened one day" He has shown a lot of experience with Quality Assurance as he does it professionally, and he helps by formely heading up the "division" with Bricker but still assists.

dmb

dmbinspircd.org

dmb was the second QA member and brings to the table one of the most important parts in testing...an IPv6 Server. Without him, it would be nearly impossible to officially test IPv6 bugs & features. He also helps with IPv4

owine

owineinspircd.org

Owine was one of our newest QA Lead's and has been with the team from the beginning. He is a great contributor and a hard worker.

Testers

The people below have been involved in testing over the duration of development, without their combined effort, InspIRCd would surely have been a failure. Thanks
