How do I become an official Irrlicht developer? Does working at a company using the Irrlicht engine qualify me for the job? (We'll decide in the next month if we're going to use it for a 10man project.) I want to be able to check in updates, contribute to the roadmap, announce official releases (not without consensus, of course), etc. How is collaboration for those events currently handled?

I'm interested in the same involvement for Irrlicht.net cp. How do I become an official developer there?

Why do you think that this would help your project?

Thanks for the link. I should have looked there first.

Well, it would help my project if changes I made showed up in future versions of your software, though I think patches will be sufficient for that. I was more concerned about helping you. If we decide to go with Irrlicht it will be part a large project with a lot of QA time. I was thinking it would save us all time if I didn't have to use the patch submission route.

Guess you know that Hybrid used the exact same one to become a highly estimated developper. I think it's a legit opportunity. Just deliver results first, cause the honor you will earn will even bless your ( insert preferred group here).
