Name	Blame
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 composed.
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.
