Although it is still possible to apply for a spot in the Coders of Tomorrow programming team, tonight we are announcing the additions and changes to Omnimaga staff, although these changes were done several hours ago.

-First of all, we are pleased to announce the addition of Bwang and apcalc to our programming group. They both program for the TI-Nspire in C and apcalc also program for 68K calculators. Both of those programmers recently made ticalc.org front page with two of their releases. In Bwang's case, it was the TI-Nspire raycaster, and in apcalc's case, a TI-Nspire port of the popular Block Dude classic. Apcalc also becomes our first 68K programmer being part of the team in one and half a year. Currently, Bwang is continuing to work on his Raycaster as well as a Floorcaster, and apcalc is working on TI-Nspire and TI-89 ports of Trapped, which was a spin-off of Block Dude released on MaxCoderz a few years ago.

-Secondly, we are pleased to announce that Hot_Dog has been added to the Administrator group. From now on, he will be able to help for forum updates such as addition of projects sections and updating other areas of the site. As our community grows, it is important for us that we can continue to help the community and provide a nice discussion environment. It should also help for when some admins are busier.

-Third, I am returning into the administrator group. For the past month, my status on the forum was uncertain, as my activity was sporadic and I did not know if I would be able to contribute to the site anymore as admin after the contest is over. Although I may still not be able to answer many requests and that I may mostly be involved in the downloads section once this month ends, I will still remain active on the forums.

-Finally, the admin user group was renamed to "Managers".

Congrats to Bwang, apcalc and Hot Dog for their new positions!

The site front page and the forums were updated to reflect those changes.

On an unrelated note, the 40000th post of 2010 was posted today.  This amounts to an average of 167 posts a day since the beginning of 2010.

Congratulations to Bwang and apcalc for their new staff positions positions!  And a big round of applesauce to Hot Dog for his new admin manager position!

Congratulations you guys!
