Dominik - OpenTTD Developer

Real Name: Dominik Scherer

Who am I?

I'm a 23 year old computer science student from Bonn, Germany. I joined the OpenTTD development team in March 2004 as one of the first developers. Since then my main obsession has been bugfixing and enhancing usability. My most popular contributions were probably Higher bridges and Landscaping but I've also brought drag'n'drop functionality to numerous tools, such as bulldozing, station building and tree planting. I have also been providing the Mandrake Linux RPM packages.

If you want to contact me, you can find me at #openttd.

His first words

Dominik joined the project on Wednesday the 31th of March 2004 at 18:58:23, the same month that OpenTTD went public. After he had finished his first patch, fixing a save/load GUI bug, his first word were:

<dominik81> Hi everyone! I've got my first patch for OpenTTD ready, but I'm 
            completely new to open source coding. _What_ do I need to include
            when I upload a patch to SF? Just the parts that I changed as text
            files?
