Name	Blame
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.
