     <h2 class="post-title">Anthony Shaw (anthonyshaw) joins our team</h2>

   <span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Nov 18, 2015</span>

   <div class="post-content">
     <p>Please help us extend a warm welcome to our newest team member <a href="https://github.com/tonybaloney">Anthony
 Shaw</a>!</p>

 <p>The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Libcloud has invited Anthony
 Shaw to join us as a committer and a PMC member and we are pleased to announce
 that he has accepted.</p>

 <p>Anthony has joined the community fairly recently, but he has already made a lot
 of <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Atonybaloney+is%3Aclosed">substantial contributions</a>. Those contributions range from new Dimension
 Data drivers and various related improvements to a proposal for a new <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/629">backup
 API</a> for Backup as a Service products and projects.</p>

 <p>While we are talking about the new backup API - we would like to encourage
 everyone who is either a service provider offering Backup as a Service product
 or a person interested in using this API to join us and <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/629">participate in the
 discussion</a>. The more feedback we get, the better and more widely applicable
 we can make this new API.</p>

 <p>For anyone who would like to know more about Anthony here is his short bio:</p>

 <blockquote>
   <p>Anthony Shaw works for the global system integrator Dimension Data as Head of
 Innovation. Anthony has been working in the hosting/service provider industry
 for the last 10 years for MSPs within Europe, North America and Australia in
 various Product Management and Product Development roles. Anthony is an
 open-source advocate and has been promoting the Libcloud project internally to
 Dimension Data for the last 9 months as well as maintaining its driver.</p>
 </blockquote>

 <p>And in his own words:</p>

 <blockquote>
   <p>I think we will continue to see consolidation in IaaS providers over the next
 12 months, so likelihood is the number of drivers will reduce, but the
 importance of being cloud agnostic to people is becoming more apparent as some
 are already being burnt by integrations into APIs that companies like Dell and
 Ninefold have pulled the plug on. Libcloud is a key project for developers not
 wanting to lock themselves too heavily to a vendor. I would also like to see
 expansion of additional services like backup, load balancing and containers so
 that users can still take advantages of these features through our driver.</p>
 </blockquote>

 <p>We are happy to have him in our team and we are looking forward to his future
 participation and contributions.</p>
