Chris Duchesne Chris is my partner in crime when it comes to libStorage and REX-Ray. Without him I would have absolutely no one to take the fall for the heist I'm planning. So is Chris invaluable? Yeah, in that way, as the patsy who will do at least a dime while I'm on the beach sipping my drink, yeah, he's invaluable.
Travis Rhoden Travis, or as I call him, T-Dawg, is essential to "taking care of business." He comes to work to chew bubblegum and kick butt, and he leaves the gum at home!
Dan Norris Dan "The Man" Norris is well known in the underground street-swimming circuit. Last year he tied Michael Phelps in the Santa Monica Sewer 120 meter medley. He would have won if not for stopping to create the DigitalOcean driver for libStorage.
Alexey Morlang As a third-chair oboe player in the Moscow orchestra it is surprising that Alexey still finds time to contribute to the project, but coming from a long line of oboligarchs (oboe playing oligarchs), it's just in his nature. As is creating storage drivers. That, and, well, playing the oboe.
Andrey Pavlov There is no Andrey. You have not met him. He does not exist. Don't look behind you. He is not there. He is writing storage drivers. Then just like that, he's vanished.
Lax Kota Lax is a rock star in the Slack channel, helping others by answering their questions before the project's developers can take a stab. We do not want to upset him. It's rumored he beats those who upset him in order to provide inspiration for his true passion -- corporal poetry. Every punch thrown is another verse towards his masterpiece.
Jack Huang Jack is not his job. Jack is not the amount of money he has in the bank. Jack is not the car he drives. Jack is not the clothes he wears. Jack is a supernova, accelerating at the speed of light beyond the bounds of quantifiable space and time. Jack is not the stuff above. Jack is not the stuff below. Jack is not the stuff in between. Jack is not the empty void. Jack. just. is.

Proud Heng So long Proud, and thanks for all the fish. EBS is now part of a tagged release!
Aaron Spiegel Aaron, you may be a new contributor, but I feel like we've known each other since we were kids, running around the front-yard on a summer's dusky-eve, catching fireflies and speaking of the day we'd be patching Markdown documentation together.
Travis Rhoden While we've been colleagues a while, I'm thrilled you're finally working with the rest of the nerdiest of nerds, on libStorage and the secret holographic unicorn fight club we run on Thursday nights.

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!
Martin Hrabovcin Martin, along with Kasisnu, definitely win the "Community Members of the Month" award! Their hard work and dedication resulted in the introduction of the Amazon EFS storage driver. Thank you Martin & Kasisnu!
Kasisnu Singh Have I mentioned we have the best community around? Seriously, thank you again Kasisnu! Your work, along with Martin's, is a milestone in the growth of libStorage.
