OpenELEC is created and supported by a dedicated team. No two team members carry out exactly the same role and the roles vary from development to donation.

Current Team

sraue
sraue is the main developer and founder of OpenELEC. sraue works on the OpenELEC system and builds test and release builds of OpenELEC. He's usually on the IRC channel and regularly posts on the forums.

Gujs
Much like wintemrute, Gujs focuses on developing future features of OpenELEC. Gujs doesn't work on the same features as wintermrute, instead he works in parallel on different features with different release dates.

evanrich
Due to the nature of OpenELEC, there are updates to the OpenELEC source between official releases. evanrich builds devel or unstable releases from time to time. These are available on the download page.

saik0
saik0 has worked on some of the design aspects of OpenELEC; he created the logo for example and may create a new theme for our website at a later date.

xe
xe provides the OpenELEC developers with plenty of new ideas to implement and also provides support for users on the OpenELEC forums and IRC channel.

therio
therio is essentially the OpenELEC manager. The team needs organising and direction and given how busy sraue is, a manager is required. therio provides support on the forums, is regularly on the IRC channel and manages most aspects of the OpenELEC project.

gilphilbert
gilphilbert is the OpenELEC website administrator and has written many of the guides available on the website. In addition, gilphilbert is regularly on the IRC channel and provides support through the forums.

cowbalt
cowbalt was a key player in the early development stages, acting as OpenELEC manager and working on testing of OpenELEC. He provided support on the forums and wrote articles for the site.

newphreak
newphreak is the newcomer in all of this. He works on testing releases, providing support on irc and the forum. Also he manages parts of the website, and has written many of the guides.

Inactive Team Members

Mindtooth
Mindtooth was the last website admin, he built the website and created the layouts and theme you see today, from a fairly ugly Joomla site. Additionally, Mindtooth helped with the server move last year.

wintemrute
Rather than working on release builds of OpenELEC, wintemrute focuses on developing upcoming features of OpenELEC. wintemrute works alongside sraue on developing OpenELEC, but he has temporary left us because of time constraints.

ismell
ismell has worked on the development side of OpenELEC with sraue, but has had to reduce his work on OpenELEC due to time constraints.

C4
Like xe`, C4 provides support for users on the OpenELEC forums, but he has temporary left us because of time constraints.
