Chris Duchesne Chris not only took on the role of project manager for libStorage and REX-Ray, he still provides ongoing test plan execution and release validation. Thank you Chris!
Kenny Cole Kenny's tireless effort to support users and triage submitted issues is such a cornerstone to libStorage that I'm not sure what this project would do without him!
