We are very happy to announce that our team has grown further, with the addition of Pierre Riteau. Pierre is a core team member of the OpenStack Blazar project, has been highly active in the OpenStack Scientific SIG and joins us from the Chameleon testbed, where he was lead DevOps engineer.

StackHPC sees the huge potential of the Blazar reservation service, particularly if it could be combined with the recent work on preemptible instances, and we hope Pierre can help us to deliver this vision for our clients and the Scientific OpenStack community.

We will also draw on Pierre's expertise gained from designing, deploying and managing a bare metal research cloud that has pushed OpenStack's boundaries in some disruptive ways.

Pierre adds "StackHPC has been doing amazing work building research computing platforms with OpenStack. I am honoured and delighted to be joining this talented team to help deliver even more powerful capabilities."
