The Project Steering Committee

The Orfeo ToolBox Project Steering Committee is an informal, community elected group of people aiming at providing high level guidance and coordination for the ORFEO ToolBox. The PSC is a central point of contact for the project and arbitrates disputes. It is also a stable base of “institutional knowledge” to the project and tries its best to involve more developers. An important role of the PSC is to establish the contributors guidelines. It should help to guarantee that OTB remains open and company neutral.

You can find the complete description of PSC and current members here.
