Praetor (aka Brian Johnstone) will be a familiar face to most of you in the community, having been around OGRE for a couple of years now. He was a student for OGRE in the Google Summer of Code this year and has been doing some great work on script compiler technology, which he will be continuing with for the future 1.6 release (Shoggoth), and you may have seen the discussions going on in the forum as for the kind of directions the work will be going in.
As of today he’s been added as a full member of the OGRE Team. Welcome Praetor!
