The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Libcloud has asked Sebastien Goasguen (sebgoa) to join us as a committer and a PMC member. We are pleased to announce that he has accepted.

Sebastien is no stranger to the Libcloud project. He has been contributing and actively participating in the Libcloud community for quite a while now.

On top of that, he is also a PMC member at the Apache CloudStack project and our local “CloudStack guy”.

We are happy to have him and some direct CloudStack expertise in our team.

If you would like to participate in Google Summer of Code 2014 and work on Apache Libcloud, we invite you to read the following blog post for more information - Libcloud Google Summer of Code 2014 Call for Participation.
