   <span class="post-date-author">By Tomaz Muraus on Aug 27, 2019</span>

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

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

 <p>Clemens has participated in the Libcloud community for a while now and during
 his participation he made a <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ac-w">number of high quality contributions to the
 project</a>.</p>

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

 <blockquote>
   <p>Clemens Wolff is a tech lead in Microsoft’s Commercial Software
 Engineering team, enabling customers from around the world to create scalable,
 resilient and efficient software solutions applying relevant technologies and
 platforms, including cloud computing, highly scalable data engines, machine
 learning and analytics, and distributed messaging systems.</p>
 </blockquote>

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

 <blockquote>
   <p>I was introduced to Libcloud while working with a research group at Imperial
 College London on porting OKpy, an open source computer science classroom
 management system, from GCP to Azure. OKpy uses Libcloud which made
 migrating the object storage needs of the application a breeze. Since this
 initial exposure, I’ve been using Libcloud on many projects to ensure
 cross-cloud compatibility and to simplify testing via the local provider
 implementations. Most of my contributions have been about maintaining and
 updating the Azure implementation of Libcloud’s storage driver and
 building test automation to ensure that Libcloud can seamlessly be used
 with Azure.</p>
 </blockquote>

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