As another OSS developer, may I say: Well said!

It's also worth pointing out that even if the developers of OF and the 
domain [and even this group] vanished completely and forever tomorrow 
users /still/ have the source /and/ they can band together on their own 
[via Sourceforge or w.h.y.] to provide mutual support and possibly even 
continue the development.
That's the whole point of OSS; one need only look to the history of a 
wide range of OSS projects over the years to see how they have forked 
and merged and extended over time as people came and went or as views 
on the future direction diverged to see that the absence of individuals 
or of the original dev group need not be a terminal event; if a project 
is worth supporting and useful others will usually step forward and 
carry it on.

Robert.
