+			# Sven Dowideit became a well known person in the Docker ecosphere, building
+			# boot2docker, and became a regular contributor to the project, starting as
+			# early as October 2013 (https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/2119), to become
+			# a maintainer less than two months later (https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/3061).
+			#
+			# As a maintainer, Sven took on the task to convert the documentation from
+			# ReStructuredText to Markdown, migrate to Hugo for generating the docs, and
+			# writing tooling for building, testing, and publishing them.
+			#
+			# If you're not in the occasion to visit "the Australian office", you
+			# can keep up with Sven on Twitter (@SvenDowideit), his blog http://fosiki.com,
+			# and of course on GitHub.
