Reddit Game Jam 06 will be starting on March 25th at 22:00 UTC and ending precisely 48 hours later.  They'll be accepting team entries, and OGA has the combined coding, design, and artistic talent available to make a very good showing.  Here are the rules.

Team OGA will be doing the following:

• As suggested, we're going to be using GitHub and writing an open source program.  The end result will be licensed under the GPL 2+3, plus whatever other license(s) we all agree on.  
• We'll be coding in C++ and aiming for a release that compiles on Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.
• We'll use existing OGA media where it makes sense, and create new art where needed.  Any art we use must have a Debian-approved license, so that the final product will be entirely free (as in speech).
• Any libraries we use will be (quickly) decided on when we start the project.  Given our familiarities and time constaints, SDL may be the best choice.
• Coders, designers, artists, musicians, writers, and idea people are all welcome!  Stop by our IRC channel (preferably in advance) if you'd like to participate.  No promises on us allowing in latecomers, since it takes a while to get people up to speed on an existing project.
• We'll try to accomodate as many participants as we can, within reason.  If we're reaching a point where the overhead of managing people exceeds the benefit of having a larger team, we'll split into two groups.
• This project will be run as democratically as is practical, but I (BartK) reserve the right to push things along if we get sidetracked.  If we end up getting too many people and splitting in half, a leader will be appointed for the other team.

Hope to have you aboard!

[Edit: I've created a Team OGA Forum to discuss our world domination plans.]

OGA was down for most of the day due to an (impending) hard drive failure.  The drive has been swapped out with no loss of data.  Sorry for any inconvenience.
