| <div class="post-content"> |
| <p>Please help us extend a warm welcome to our newest team member <a href="https://github.com/vdloo">Rick van de |
| Loo</a>!</p> |
| |
| <p>The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Libcloud has invited Rick |
| van de Loo to join us as a committer and we are pleased to announce that he |
| has accepted.</p> |
| |
| <p>In the last couple of years Rick has <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Avdloo+is%3Aclosed">contributed various high quality |
| changes</a> to the project and we are happy to have him on board.</p> |
| |
| <p>For anyone who would like to know more about Rick here is his short bio:</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p>Rick van de Loo is the lead developer on Hypernode, a highly automated and |
| cloud agnostic hosting platform specialised for Magento built on top of Apache |
| Libcloud. Since Rick started working on Hypernode he has seen it scale from |
| double digits to thousands of servers, along the road orchestrating various |
| high volume cross-provider migrations. His main focus is on platform |
| stability and feature development, of which a large part has been integrating |
| cloud APIs and working around their incompatibilities and unreliable nature.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>And in his own words:</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p>Since we started using Libcloud around four years ago the landscape has |
| changed a lot. But even though container-based and serverless architectures |
| have become more prominent, compute is still the cornerstone of cloud. Most |
| of my contributions have been about standardising functionality across |
| different compute providers and implementing new driver methods, mainly |
| related to the AWS, DigitalOcean and OpenStack APIs. As an Apache Libcloud |
| team member I will continue to contribute changes that help us scratch our |
| own itch and encourage other members of the Hypernode team to do the same.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>We are happy to have him in our team and we are looking forward to his future |
| participation and contributions.</p> |
