I'm just finalising the work we have to do on Eihort, and it's become clear that having to rewrite the work of a couple of contributors who haven't replied to my licensing email is going to suck up significant resources, simply because they contributed so much. They are:

qsilver (aka Henry Goffin)
leedgitar (aka Chris McGuirk)

I have sent multiple emails to them at multiple addresses and have had no response. By default this means we have to rewrite their major feature contributions, but the last thing I want to do is to start doing that and find out later that they would have agreed!

If anyone here in the forums knows how to contact these people, please can you help us do so. Don't post any email addresses in this thread, just email them to me (privacy issues), or if you know of any forums they frequent, online games, irc, chat, etc etc, any assistance you could give to locating or cajoling them into responding (even if they decline - at least we'll know for sure) could save significant wasted OGRE development time.

Thanks.

Yep, but I have no idea how to contact him there, I don't have an EA address for him. Any EA employees around with an internal mail address list?

For leedgitar we just need a WoW player to contact him, if he uses the same nick in-game.

Thanks to BenO, who provided me an email for leedgitar which worked! Only qsilver to chase up now.

I don't think he is, unfortunately, I believe Spore is EA USA.

But if you can find a way to get a message to him somehow, I would be extremely grateful.

I have a friend on the Spore team, I just sent her an email to see if she can help.

Edit: Actually, it's the rest of "Maxis" that's in Redwood Shores, not Spore.

Brilliant, thank you very much jfaust, qsilver has got back to me on his new email and all is now good. Thank you!

This must be a study in the 'six degrees of separation' theory

Interesting ties there are in the Ogre community. Nice to see we have some input in spore

Spore is Redwood Shores, CA btw.

Guessing you mean Redwood City; EA does the AAA sports titles there.

Spore is Emeryville, actually. Still in the Bay Area, but East Bay (Berkeley/Oakland area) instead of the peninsula.

Aw crap, you're right. The rest of "Maxis" is in Redwood Shores. :oops:

[edit] it actually is Redwood Shores I was thinking of, at least according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxis. That'll teach me to respond so quickly when I'm so tired.
