I would like to collect a list of those who make original items or systems or scripts for Opensim. Currently I have the following listed :
Vivosim
Arcadia
Encantada
Monentes
Ashland
Lunaria
I'd love to add to this list if anyone can help me out, please. These will be listed in an information office I wish to set up with a poster leading to a link for each one. If you happen to be a creator and would either like or not like to be included, please let me know. Thank you.

Oh, and let's not forget Áine Caoimhe who "taught" the Hypergrid to dance and gave OpenSim its own native, OSSL-based sit animation controller.

Okay, here's a start.
Two names that shouldn't be missing are Linda Kellie and Selea Core.
You may want to go around Wright Plaza (https://opensimworld.com/hop/75040) which is chock-full of shops run by original OpenSim creators such as Sean Heavy, Hylee Bekkers, Oopsee Joseppe (layer stockings!), Elif Kling (important source for make-up for Ruth2 v4!), Caro Fayray, Nebadon Izumi (who also built the whole place), Warin Cascabel, Suzi Avonside etc.
While you're in OSgrid, also have a look at Festa 24H which has probably been removed from here again. There you can find more creators such as Prinz von Halberstadt or Morgaine Alter.
Also, in OSgrid, visit RuthAndRoth, the official sim of the Ruth2 and Roth2 projects. People involved in these:
Shin Ingen (former project lead up to Ruth 2.0 RC#3 and Roth 2.0 RC#1)
Ada Radius
Sundance Haiku
Serie Sumei
Sean Heavy (creator of the RuthToo and RothToo forks, offers his own products on this sim as well)
Austin Tate a.k.a. Ai Austin (current project lead for Ruth2 v4 and Roth2 v2)
Contributors also include:
Eloh Eliot (skins)
Chip Midnight (skins)
Linda Kellie (skins, layer clothes)
Next, creators of original mesh clothes including clothes rigged for Ruth 2.0 or other bodies from the family:
Taarna Welles
https://opensimworld.com/hop/75031
Also, https://opensimworld.com/hop/74862, and then go to La Baronnie which isn't listed here
Klarabella Karamell
https://opensimworld.com/hop/82702 (it's online, she has removed the beacon)
https://opensimworld.com/hop/81258 (it's online, she has removed the beacon)
Uses store space here: https://opensimworld.com/hop/78061 (there's also stuff by other creators here, including my Cary Bean/Deva Moda corner, but not everything here is "clean")
Has a shoe store here: https://opensimworld.com/hop/80119
Loru Destiny
Has deliberately removed the listing of her shop sim from OSW; I'll have to look up the taxi
Also has a store here: https://opensimworld.com/hop/81253
Hyacinth Jean
Has a shop sim on her own grid with her bodies LuvMyBod (RuthToo fork) and Diana (continuation of LuvMyBod with BoM) and clothes for LuvMyBod which isn't listed on OSW; I'll have to look up the taxi
Her Ruth 2.0 clothes can be found in a shop here: https://opensimworld.com/hop/81253
If I've listed multiple sims, that's always because there is no one place where all creations by these creators can be found, and each place has some exclusives.
What makes finding and listing creators more difficult is that many have their stores in places that aren't on OSW. RuthAndRoth isn't here. Vbinnia Radek's legendary Steam isn't here anymore. Taarna Welles' La Baronnie isn't here anymore. The whole Nara's Nook grid is absent from here, and HG-Safari host Thirza Ember offers her layer swimwear and lingerie there (some of her simwear can be found here: https://opensimworld.com/hop/75544). There are several sims in Craft-World with original content (including Damien Fate-based clothes as well as layer clothes useful for BoM bodies) that aren't listed here. And I can name three sims in Dereos with exclusive content that aren't listed here either.
The above is also why people claim that there's literally nothing for Ruth2 v4 to wear (because pretty much none of the big freebie sims offer "rigged for Ruth2" clothes) and then wonder where Juno gets all her clothes.
I'm working on off-site shopping guides for the Ruth2 family, especially the BoM bodies which will completely leave out illegal content. It will, however, list shops offering clothes based on meshes by Damien Fate which were originally created for Second Life, but then offered to the OpenSim community (https://outworldz.com/Secondlife/posts/mesh-templates/).
Last but not least, Damien Fate and Arcadia Asylum technically only count as Second Life creators. (No, Arcadia Asylum has never been in OpenSim herself.)
One more thought: Maybe someone should start a group in OpenSim (yes, in case you haven't noticed, OpenSim has user-created, user-maintained groups: https://opensimworld.com/groups) for legal content and especially content created in and for OpenSim. I already have one for the Ruth2 and Roth2 mesh body families: https://opensimworld.com/groups/1014

I meet Arcadia Asylum on OSG I think over ten years ago. She was working on a Brazilian urban ghetto build. She didn't like to be disturbed while building (which may be why her presence on OS was not generally known). As conversation was not permitted, all I could do is listen. What I recall is that she said she was essentially bed-ridden in a Swiss care facility but was able to log in-world on occasion, which is likely why she was focused on building, not chit chat. She had lots of stories about her time as a Linden. I think she said she worked on the road network...it's been so long, I've forgotten all the details. The build was massive and I doubt she was doing it in SL. I'm pretty sure this was in OS...or I met a convincing imposter.

Yes, there is an avatar named Arcadia Asylum on OSgrid. But to my best knowledge, this account was created by someone else to import Arcadia's SL creations and credit her appropriately. The best way to do that was by registering an avatar with her name and making that avatar the "creator" of her items.
The unavoidable side-effect were rumours that Arcadia had been in OpenSim herself, making you wonder what the word "Banned" on the rear side of that statue means, like, why someone would ban someone as nice as Arcadia from an OpenSim grid. The "Banned" only refers to Linden Labs banning Arcadia multiple times for costing them money rather than making them money.

Right. Which is why I doubt I met multi-banned AA in SL. The person I met in OS was certainly working in the AA style... And that Swiss care facility story: plausible? She said she was very infirm for some reason I've forgotten.

Urban Blight was Arcadia's first project, even before mesh. That was ca. 2006-2008 when Arcadia Asylum got banned. Maybe whomever you've met simply used the various Urban Blight parts after they had been imported into OpenSim.
From 2008 on, she was in SL at least under the names of Lora Lemon and Aley Arai. It was especially the space pirates that fell into this era. At least Aley Arai was banned in 2010, probably both. In 2012, she came back as only Aley (or Aley Resident) and built her pirate, steampunk and clockpunk themes until some point in 2015; not sure if she was banned again.

This was Urban Blight in a Brazilian slum... It was located on a full sim. What I'm curious about is the story of being infirm and living in a Swiss care facility. A fanciful story by a AA imitator, a story of AA's life at one point, appropriated by an imitator, or AA herself?

Or the story of whoever created the Arcadia Asylum avatar to import Arcadia Asylum content into OpenSim in such a way that the Creator tag says "Arcadia Asylum" on all items.
This wasn't imitation. This was only giving proper credit to Arcadia Asylum. This was the only way to have the name "Arcadia Asylum" written on the items as their creator. The user behind that avatar only didn't tell you under which name they're usually around OpenSim. Whoever that was may actually have been in a Swiss care facility and thus had the time to import and prepare Arcadia's creations and build demonstrator sims. But they have never willingly implied Arcadia herself was in a Swiss care facility.
So this means that whoever imported all that Arcadia Asylum stuff also manually built a demonstration sim for Urban Blight. This person may also be the official creator of the famous Flotsam Pirate Town which is available as an OAR and has several instances currently running; I don't know whether it's a recreation of a sim that Arcadia had built as a demonstrator.

Are you only looking for creators who are active right now/have been active fairly recently or also for creators who haven't released anything new in years?
Either way, I think I can help you out with some names.

The creators who haven't released anything new in years can be called "Legacy Creators" -- but that would be confusing. "Creator Emeritus?" Whatever they are called, I'd like to see them included.
