+<h3>Important breaking change- Amazon EC2 driver changes</h3>
+
+<p>The Amazon EC2 API was updated to consolidate the regional-based drivers into a single driver with a region argument in the constructor.</p>
+
+<p>Amazon Instances should now be instantiated using the following syntax:</p>
+
+<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="python language-python" data-lang="python"><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">libcloud.compute.types</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">Provider</span>
+<span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">libcloud.compute.providers</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">get_driver</span>
+
+<span class="n">cls</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">get_driver</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="n">Provider</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">EC2</span><span class="p">)</span>
+<span class="n">driver</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="n">cls</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s">'access key'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s">'secret key'</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="n">region</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s">'us-east-1'</span><span class="p">)</span>
+</code></pre></div>
+
+<p>This brings the Amazon API inline with the other drivers, makes it easier to maintain and switch between regions.</p>
+
+<h3>Bug fixes</h3>
+
+<h4>General</h4>
+
+<ul>
+<li><p>Fix a bug with consuming stdout and stderr in the paramiko SSH client which
+would manifest itself under very rare condition when a consumed chunk only
+contained a single byte or part of a multi byte UTF-8 character.
+[Lakshmi Kannan, Tomaz Muraus]</p></li>
+<li><p>Increase default chunk size from <code>1024</code> to <code>4096</code> bytes in the paramiko
+SSH client. This results in smaller number of receive calls on the average.

- <h2><a href="/blog/2016/01/20/libcloud-1.0-pre1.html">Libcloud 1.0-pre1 open for feedback</a></h2>
-
-
-
-
-
- <span class="post-date-author">By Anthony Shaw on Jan 20, 2016</span>
-
- <div class="post-content">
- <p>We are pleased to announce that version 1.0-pre1 vote thread is open and the release is ready for community feedback.</p>
-
-<p>1.0-pre1 marks the first pre-release of the 1.0 major release. Some years ago, Tomaz Muraus spoke on the podcast <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/181">FLOSS weekly</a>.
-Tomaz spoke about how much of a huge challenge porting the project to Python 3.x would be(!) as well as the 1.0 milestone.</p>
-
-<p>It is worth listening to the podcast to see how far things have come, we now average 2 pull-requests a day and have 156 contributors.</p>
-
-<p>As the project has matured over the last 5 years one of the most remarkable changes has been the adoption from the community and
-continued support from our contributors adding new drivers, patching strange API issues and keeping the project alive.</p>
-
-<p>Anthony Shaw will be speaking on the FLOSS weekly podcast on February 2nd and discussing our community and the project, so
-please tune in. </p>
-
-<p>The Cloud market as I'm sure you're all aware of is thriving, the purpose of Libcloud was originally:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>To help prevent lock-in to a particular vendor</li>
-<li>To abstract the complexity of vendor APIs</li>
-<li>To give a simple way for deploying to and managing multiple cloud vendors</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>Since that we have had (at the last count) 2,118,539 downloads. The project continues to grow in popularity with each new release.</p>
-
-<p>So with the 1.0 major release we would like to announce 2 new driver types, containers and backup.</p>
-
-<h2>History of our drivers</h2>
-
-<p>The compute (IaaS) API is what libcloud is best known for but there is a range of drivers available for many other capabilities.</p>
-
-<p>There is a presentation on the value of using Libcloud to avoid lock in <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/AnthonyShaw5/apache-libcloud-keeping-up-with-the-cloud-market-in-2016">on SlideShare</a></p>
-
-<p>This is a history of the different driver types in the libcloud project.</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Compute (v0.1.0)
-
-<ul>
-<li> Support for nodes, node images, locations, states</li>
-<li> 52 providers including every major cloud provider in the market. Plus local services like Vmware, OpenStack, libvirt</li>
-</ul></li>
-<li>DNS (v0.6.0)
-
-<ul>
-<li> Support for zones, records, recordtypes</li>
-<li> 19 providers including CloudFlare, DigitalOcean, DNSimple, GoDaddy, Google DNS, Linode, Rackspace, Amazon R53, Zerigo</li>
-</ul></li>
-<li>Object Storage (v0.5.0)
-
-<ul>
-<li> Support for containers and objects</li>
-<li> 11 providers including Amazon S3, Azure Blobs, Google storage, CloudFiles, OpenStack Swift</li>
-</ul></li>
-<li>Load Balancer (v0.5.0)
-
-<ul>
-<li> Support for nodes, balancers, listeners and algorithms</li>
-<li> 11 providers including CloudStack, Dimension Data, Amazon ELB, Google GCE LB, SoftLayer LB</li>
-</ul></li>
-<li>Backup (v0.20.0)
-
-<ul>
-<li> Support for backup targets, recovery points and jobs</li>
-<li> 3 providers, Dimension Data, Amazon EBS snaps, Google snaps</li>
-</ul></li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Introducing Backup Drivers</h2>
-
-<p>With 1.0-pre1 we have introduced a new driver type for backup, <code>libcloud.backup</code></p>
-
-<p>Backup API allows you to manage Backup as A Service and services such as EBS Snaps,
-GCE volume snap and dimension data backup.</p>
-
-<h3>Terminology</h3>
-
-<ul>
-<li><code>libcloud.backup.base.BackupTarget</code> - Represents a backup target, like a Virtual Machine, a folder or a database.</li>
-<li><code>libcloud.backup.base.BackupTargetRecoveryPoint</code> - Represents a copy of the data in the target, a recovery point can be
-recovered to a backup target. An inplace restore is where you recover to the same target and an out-of-place restore is where you
-recover to another target.</li>
-<li><code>libcloud.backup.base.BackupTargetJob</code> - Represents a backup job running on backup target.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h2>Introducing Container-as-a-Service Drivers</h2>
-
-<p>The API is for Container-as-a-Service providers, these new types of cloud services offer container management and hosting as a service.
-The new services are already providing proprietary APIs, giving the need for a tool like Libcloud if you want to provision to any cloud provider.</p>
-
-<p>Google, Amazon and Joyent have all announced Container cloud services and Microsoft have launched a beta service also, so we are getting on the front foot with an
-abstraction API for people wishing to gain similar benefits to the compute, load balancer and storage APIs.</p>
-
-<p><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/AnthonyShaw5/introducing-container-asaservice-support-to-apache-libcloud">A presentation on this topic is available on SlideShare.</a></p>
-
-<p><strong>Isn't docker a standard?</strong>
-Well, yes and no.</p>
-
-<p>Docker has been the main technology adopted by these providers as the host system for the containers and also as the specification of the containers themselves.
-But, Docker is not a provisioning system, it is a virtualization host. Also there are alternatives, like CoreOS Rkt. </p>
-
-<h3>Container API design</h3>
-
-<p>Container-as-a-Service providers will implement the <code>ContainerDriver</code> class to provide functionality for :</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li>Listing deployed containers</li>
-<li>Starting, stopping and restarting containers (where supported)</li>
-<li>Destroying containers</li>
-<li>Creating/deploying containers</li>
-<li>Listing container images</li>
-<li>Installing container images (pulling an image from a local copy or remote repository)</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>Simple Container Support</h3>
-
-<ul>
-<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ContainerImage</code> - Represents an image that can be deployed, like an application or an operating system</li>
-<li><code>libcloud.container.base.Container</code> - Represents a deployed container image running on a container host</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>Cluster Suppport</h3>
-
-<p>Cluster support extends on the basic driver functions, but where drivers implement the class-level attribute <code>supports_clusters</code> as True
-clusters may be listed, created and destroyed. When containers are deployed, the target cluster can be specified.</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ContainerCluster</code> - Represents a deployed container image running on a container host</li>
-<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ClusterLocation</code> - Represents a location for clusters to be deployed</li>
-</ul>
-
-<h3>Using the container drivers</h3>
-
-<p>The container drivers have been designed around similar principles to the compute driver. It is simple to use and a flat class design. </p>

-</code></pre></div>
-
-<h3>Container Registries</h3>
-
-<p>The Docker Registry API is used by services like Amazon ECR, the Docker Hub website and by anyone hosting their own Docker registry.
-It doesn't belong to a particular driver, so is a utility class.
-Some providers, like Amazon ECR have a factory method to provide a registry client
-Images from docker registry can be sent to the deploy_container method for any driver.</p>
-
-<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="python language-python" data-lang="python"><span class="kn">from</span> <span class="nn">libcloud.container.utils.docker</span> <span class="kn">import</span> <span class="n">HubClient</span>

-</code></pre></div>
-
-<p>When other container registry services are made available these can be provided in a similar context.</p>
-
-<h3>Prototype drivers in libcloud.container</h3>
-
-<p>Drivers have been provided to show example implementations of the API, these drivers are <strong>experimental</strong> and need to go through more thorough community testing
-before they are ready for a stable release.</p>
-
-<ul>
-<li><a href="http://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/container/drivers/docker.html">Docker</a></li>
-<li><a href="http://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/container/drivers/joyent.html">Joyent Triton</a></li>
-<li><a href="http://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/container/drivers/kubernetes.html">Google Kubernetes</a> </li>
-<li><a href="http://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/container/drivers/ecs.html">Amazon Elastic Container Service (as well as Amazon Container Registry Service)</a></li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>The driver with the most contentious implementation is Kubernetes. We would like users of the Amazon ECS, Google Containers and Kubernetes project to provide feedback
-on how they would like to map clusters, pods, namespaces to the low level concepts in the driver.</p>

- <p>This is an announcement for users of the Linode driver for Libcloud who might
-have started experiencing issues recently.</p>
+ <p>We are pleased to announce that version 1.0-pre1 vote thread is open and the release is ready for community feedback.</p>
-<h2>Background</h2>
+<p>1.0-pre1 marks the first pre-release of the 1.0 major release. Some years ago, Tomaz Muraus spoke on the podcast <a href="https://twit.tv/shows/floss-weekly/episodes/181">FLOSS weekly</a>.
+Tomaz spoke about how much of a huge challenge porting the project to Python 3.x would be(!) as well as the 1.0 milestone.</p>
-<p>A couple of Libcloud users have reported that they have recently started
-experiencing issues when talking to the Linode API using Libcloud. They have
-received messages similar to the one shown below.</p>
+<p>It is worth listening to the podcast to see how far things have come, we now average 2 pull-requests a day and have 156 contributors.</p>
-<pre>
-socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
-</pre>
+<p>As the project has matured over the last 5 years one of the most remarkable changes has been the adoption from the community and
+continued support from our contributors adding new drivers, patching strange API issues and keeping the project alive.</p>
-<p>It turns out that the issue is related to the used SSL / TLS version. For
-compatibility and security reasons (Libcloud also supports older Python
-versions), Libcloud uses TLS v1.0 by default.</p>
+<p>Anthony Shaw will be speaking on the FLOSS weekly podcast on February 2nd and discussing our community and the project, so
+please tune in. </p>
-<p>Linode recently dropped support for TLS v1.0 and it now only support TLS >=
-v1.1. This means Libcloud won't work out of the box anymore.</p>
+<p>The Cloud market as I'm sure you're all aware of is thriving, the purpose of Libcloud was originally:</p>
-<h2>Solution</h2>
+<ul>
+<li>To help prevent lock-in to a particular vendor</li>
+<li>To abstract the complexity of vendor APIs</li>
+<li>To give a simple way for deploying to and managing multiple cloud vendors</li>
+</ul>
-<p>If you are experiencing this issue, you should update your code to use TLS v1.2
-or TLS v1.1 as shown below.</p>
+<p>Since that we have had (at the last count) 2,118,539 downloads. The project continues to grow in popularity with each new release.</p>
-<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="text language-text" data-lang="text">import ssl
+<p>So with the 1.0 major release we would like to announce 2 new driver types, containers and backup.</p>
-import libcloud.security
-libcloud.security.SSL_VERSION = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_1
-# or even better if your system and Python version supports TLS v1.2
-libcloud.security.SSL_VERSION = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2
+<h2>History of our drivers</h2>
-# Instantiate and work with the Linode driver here...
+<p>The compute (IaaS) API is what libcloud is best known for but there is a range of drivers available for many other capabilities.</p>
+
+<p>There is a presentation on the value of using Libcloud to avoid lock in <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/AnthonyShaw5/apache-libcloud-keeping-up-with-the-cloud-market-in-2016">on SlideShare</a></p>
+
+<p>This is a history of the different driver types in the libcloud project.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Compute (v0.1.0)
+
+<ul>
+<li> Support for nodes, node images, locations, states</li>
+<li> 52 providers including every major cloud provider in the market. Plus local services like Vmware, OpenStack, libvirt</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>DNS (v0.6.0)
+
+<ul>
+<li> Support for zones, records, recordtypes</li>
+<li> 19 providers including CloudFlare, DigitalOcean, DNSimple, GoDaddy, Google DNS, Linode, Rackspace, Amazon R53, Zerigo</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>Object Storage (v0.5.0)
+
+<ul>
+<li> Support for containers and objects</li>
+<li> 11 providers including Amazon S3, Azure Blobs, Google storage, CloudFiles, OpenStack Swift</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>Load Balancer (v0.5.0)
+
+<ul>
+<li> Support for nodes, balancers, listeners and algorithms</li>
+<li> 11 providers including CloudStack, Dimension Data, Amazon ELB, Google GCE LB, SoftLayer LB</li>
+</ul></li>
+<li>Backup (v0.20.0)
+
+<ul>
+<li> Support for backup targets, recovery points and jobs</li>
+<li> 3 providers, Dimension Data, Amazon EBS snaps, Google snaps</li>
+</ul></li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Introducing Backup Drivers</h2>
+
+<p>With 1.0-pre1 we have introduced a new driver type for backup, <code>libcloud.backup</code></p>
+
+<p>Backup API allows you to manage Backup as A Service and services such as EBS Snaps,
+GCE volume snap and dimension data backup.</p>
+
+<h3>Terminology</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>libcloud.backup.base.BackupTarget</code> - Represents a backup target, like a Virtual Machine, a folder or a database.</li>
+<li><code>libcloud.backup.base.BackupTargetRecoveryPoint</code> - Represents a copy of the data in the target, a recovery point can be
+recovered to a backup target. An inplace restore is where you recover to the same target and an out-of-place restore is where you
+recover to another target.</li>
+<li><code>libcloud.backup.base.BackupTargetJob</code> - Represents a backup job running on backup target.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h2>Introducing Container-as-a-Service Drivers</h2>
+
+<p>The API is for Container-as-a-Service providers, these new types of cloud services offer container management and hosting as a service.
+The new services are already providing proprietary APIs, giving the need for a tool like Libcloud if you want to provision to any cloud provider.</p>
+
+<p>Google, Amazon and Joyent have all announced Container cloud services and Microsoft have launched a beta service also, so we are getting on the front foot with an
+abstraction API for people wishing to gain similar benefits to the compute, load balancer and storage APIs.</p>
+
+<p><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/AnthonyShaw5/introducing-container-asaservice-support-to-apache-libcloud">A presentation on this topic is available on SlideShare.</a></p>
+
+<p><strong>Isn't docker a standard?</strong>
+Well, yes and no.</p>
+
+<p>Docker has been the main technology adopted by these providers as the host system for the containers and also as the specification of the containers themselves.
+But, Docker is not a provisioning system, it is a virtualization host. Also there are alternatives, like CoreOS Rkt. </p>
+
+<h3>Container API design</h3>
+
+<p>Container-as-a-Service providers will implement the <code>ContainerDriver</code> class to provide functionality for :</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li>Listing deployed containers</li>
+<li>Starting, stopping and restarting containers (where supported)</li>
+<li>Destroying containers</li>
+<li>Creating/deploying containers</li>
+<li>Listing container images</li>
+<li>Installing container images (pulling an image from a local copy or remote repository)</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Simple Container Support</h3>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ContainerImage</code> - Represents an image that can be deployed, like an application or an operating system</li>
+<li><code>libcloud.container.base.Container</code> - Represents a deployed container image running on a container host</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Cluster Suppport</h3>
+
+<p>Cluster support extends on the basic driver functions, but where drivers implement the class-level attribute <code>supports_clusters</code> as True
+clusters may be listed, created and destroyed. When containers are deployed, the target cluster can be specified.</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ContainerCluster</code> - Represents a deployed container image running on a container host</li>
+<li><code>libcloud.container.base.ClusterLocation</code> - Represents a location for clusters to be deployed</li>
+</ul>
+
+<h3>Using the container drivers</h3>
+
+<p>The container drivers have been designed around similar principles to the compute driver. It is simple to use and a flat class design. </p>

-<p>Keep in mind that for this to work you need to have a recent version of OpenSSL
-installed on your system and you need to use Python >= 3.4 or Python 2.7.9.</p>
+<h3>Container Registries</h3>
-<p>For more details please see recently updated <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/other/ssl-certificate-validation.html#changing-used-ssl-tls-version">documentation</a>. If you are
-still experiencing issues or have any questions, please feel free to reach
-us via the mailing list or IRC.</p>
+<p>The Docker Registry API is used by services like Amazon ECR, the Docker Hub website and by anyone hosting their own Docker registry.
+It doesn't belong to a particular driver, so is a utility class.
+Some providers, like Amazon ECR have a factory method to provide a registry client
+Images from docker registry can be sent to the deploy_container method for any driver.</p>

+</code></pre></div>
-<p>Note: Even if you are not experiencing any issues, it's generally a good idea
-to use the highest version of TLS supported by your system and the provider you
-use.</p>
+<p>When other container registry services are made available these can be provided in a similar context.</p>
-<h2>Quick note on ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</h2>
+<h3>Prototype drivers in libcloud.container</h3>
-<p>Python uses <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> constant by default. When this constant is
-used, it will let client known to pick the highest protocol version which both
-the client and server support (it will be selecting between SSL v3.0, TLS v1.0,
-TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2).</p>
+<p>Drivers have been provided to show example implementations of the API, these drivers are <strong>experimental</strong> and need to go through more thorough community testing
+before they are ready for a stable release.</p>
-<p>We use <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1</code> instead of <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> for security
-and compatibility reasons. SSL v3.0 is considered broken and unsafe and using
-<code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> can result in an increased risk for a downgrade attack.</p>

<div class="post-content">
- <p>Please help us extend a warm welcome to our newest team member <a href="https://github.com/tonybaloney">Anthony
-Shaw</a>!</p>
+ <p>This is an announcement for users of the Linode driver for Libcloud who might
+have started experiencing issues recently.</p>
+
+<h2>Background</h2>
+
+<p>A couple of Libcloud users have reported that they have recently started
+experiencing issues when talking to the Linode API using Libcloud. They have
+received messages similar to the one shown below.</p>
+
+<pre>
+socket.error: [Errno 104] Connection reset by peer
+</pre>
+
+<p>It turns out that the issue is related to the used SSL / TLS version. For
+compatibility and security reasons (Libcloud also supports older Python
+versions), Libcloud uses TLS v1.0 by default.</p>
+
+<p>Linode recently dropped support for TLS v1.0 and it now only support TLS >=
+v1.1. This means Libcloud won't work out of the box anymore.</p>
+
+<h2>Solution</h2>
-<p>The Project Management Committee (PMC) for Apache Libcloud has invited Anthony
-Shaw to join us as a committer and a PMC member and we are pleased to announce
-that he has accepted.</p>
-
-<p>Anthony has joined the community fairly recently, but he has already made a lot
-of <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Atonybaloney+is%3Aclosed">substantial contributions</a>. Those contributions range from new Dimension
-Data drivers and various related improvements to a proposal for a new <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/629">backup
-API</a> for Backup as a Service products and projects.</p>
-
-<p>While we are talking about the new backup API - we would like to encourage
-everyone who is either a service provider offering Backup as a Service product
-or a person interested in using this API to join us and <a href="https://github.com/apache/libcloud/pull/629">participate in the
-discussion</a>. The more feedback we get, the better and more widely applicable
-we can make this new API.</p>
-
-<p>For anyone who would like to know more about Anthony here is his short bio:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<p>Anthony Shaw works for the global system integrator Dimension Data as Head of
-Innovation. Anthony has been working in the hosting/service provider industry
-for the last 10 years for MSPs within Europe, North America and Australia in
-various Product Management and Product Development roles. Anthony is an
-open-source advocate and has been promoting the Libcloud project internally to
-Dimension Data for the last 9 months as well as maintaining its driver.</p>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>And in his own words:</p>
-
-<blockquote>
-<p>I think we will continue to see consolidation in IaaS providers over the next
-12 months, so likelihood is the number of drivers will reduce, but the
-importance of being cloud agnostic to people is becoming more apparent as some
-are already being burnt by integrations into APIs that companies like Dell and
-Ninefold have pulled the plug on. Libcloud is a key project for developers not
-wanting to lock themselves too heavily to a vendor. I would also like to see
-expansion of additional services like backup, load balancing and containers so
-that users can still take advantages of these features through our driver.</p>
-</blockquote>
+<p>If you are experiencing this issue, you should update your code to use TLS v1.2
+or TLS v1.1 as shown below.</p>
+
+<div class="highlight"><pre><code class="text language-text" data-lang="text">import ssl
+
+import libcloud.security
+libcloud.security.SSL_VERSION = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_1
+# or even better if your system and Python version supports TLS v1.2
+libcloud.security.SSL_VERSION = ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1_2
+
+# Instantiate and work with the Linode driver here...
+</code></pre></div>
+
+<p>Keep in mind that for this to work you need to have a recent version of OpenSSL
+installed on your system and you need to use Python >= 3.4 or Python 2.7.9.</p>
+
+<p>For more details please see recently updated <a href="https://libcloud.readthedocs.org/en/latest/other/ssl-certificate-validation.html#changing-used-ssl-tls-version">documentation</a>. If you are
+still experiencing issues or have any questions, please feel free to reach
+us via the mailing list or IRC.</p>
+
+<p>Note: Even if you are not experiencing any issues, it's generally a good idea
+to use the highest version of TLS supported by your system and the provider you
+use.</p>
+
+<h2>Quick note on ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</h2>
+
+<p>Python uses <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> constant by default. When this constant is
+used, it will let client known to pick the highest protocol version which both
+the client and server support (it will be selecting between SSL v3.0, TLS v1.0,
+TLS v1.1 and TLS v1.2).</p>
+
+<p>We use <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_TLSv1</code> instead of <code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> for security
+and compatibility reasons. SSL v3.0 is considered broken and unsafe and using
+<code>ssl.PROTOCOL_SSLv23</code> can result in an increased risk for a downgrade attack.</p>
-<p>We are happy to have him in our team and we are looking forward to his future
-participation and contributions.</p>
