LOL, certainly not - I'm just a humble shader developer...
Besides of graphics-nodes and a firm understanding of materials in the world of PBR I'm nowhere near the excellence of some of the fantastic coders which code plug-ins for OctaneRender.
That's unfortunate because you have the attention to detail and customer support that's also needed when developing a product. Great coders sometimes aren't very good at planning development or offering ongoing support which is why I'm glad OTOY have taken it over. The concept of 3rd party development of the plugins is all well and good if the developer has the right skills but leaving the development and support to just them hasn't proved a good idea in this case.

That's very nice of you to say - thank you very much :)
I would certainly be willing to help out with any of the plug-ins, in any way I can - but I guess in the end, that is a decision Otoy has to make...

This is the best news the OcDS plug-in has gotten in a very long while...
Paul is an excellent developer and has shown this during the development of many OctaneRender plug-ins in the past - including the Poser one.
