Introducing Docker Community Leaders – Formerly Known as Meetup Organizers

As we continue to grow, we’ve been thinking of ways to better serve the Docker community and give more visibility and recognition to the people who don’t just organize events, but who also teach, mentor and volunteer in their community.

docker community leader

What’s New?

New name! These folks don’t just organize meetups, they are leaders, mentors, teachers, speakers, and volunteers in their local community.
New mascot! About time right? What better animal than the social dolphin to represent this amazing group! Our community leaders are pros at juggling several tasks and filling multiple roles at the same time.
New Docker Community Events site! We’ve brought the community to docker.com making it easier than ever for you to find a local event! Learn more here.

They spoke and we listened

At each DockerCon, we host a Summit for our Meetup Organizers to make connections, review best practices, and give feedback on what we’re doing well and what we can do better. In Austin, the group reviewed their program as a whole, and came to the decision that the title Meetup Organizer didn’t fully encompass the complete role they played in their local community. After the conference, we continued the conversation, and they Continue reading

Meet Docker Enthusiasts Near You!

Docker Community

We’ve made it easier for you to find an event near you!

As we continue to grow, we’ve been thinking of ways to better serve the Docker community and give more visibility to all the different events and activities available and to the people who organize them. In collaboration with the Docker Community Leaders (formally known as Meetup Organizers), we’re excited to launch a brand new event platform to better highlight local Docker communities and the awesome events happening all over the world.

Check out the Docker Community event site!

From meetups to DockerCon and Docker hosted webinars to workshops, you’ll be sure to find something just for you! Instead of going to multiple places to find event information, it’s now all here in one convenient location on docker.com.

What is a Docker Local Chapter?

Docker Local Chapters are user groups that host free, community-led gatherings for Docker enthusiasts typically in the form of a meetup. The topics and agenda are curated by each local chapter’s community leader. The result: learning and best practices for everyone. Instead of visiting meetup.com, you can now check out a city chapter page to see who the leaders, campus ambassadors, Continue reading

Docker Community Spotlight: Adina-Valentina Radulescu

Adina-Valentina Radulescu, a DevOps/Integration Engineer for Pentalog Romania, has been organizing meetups for not one but two meetup groups.

In February of last year, Adina founded Docker Brasov and Docker Timisoara, and has since done an amazing job creating and fostering a sense of belonging in her community. This month, we’re happy to shine the community spotlight on Adina to learn more about her Docker story.

Tell us about your first experience with Docker.

The first time I heard about Docker was back in 2014. I played around with Docker and I was impressed with the simplicity of integration so I wanted to learn more. I was able to attend DockerCon EU in 2015 in Barcelona where I completed some labs and attended the talks to learn as much as I could about Docker. It was a powerful feeling.

Why did you start Docker Brasov and Docker Timisoara?

I wanted to have a Docker sharing exchange experience when I get back in Romania. I relocated from Timisoara to a beautiful mountain city, Brasov. In Timisoara, I knew people and companies. In Brasov, I knew almost no one. This is why I decided to start the two groups so I Continue reading

Online meetup recap: Introduction to LinuxKit

At DockerCon 2017 we introduced LinuxKit: A toolkit for building secure, lean and portable Linux subsystems. Here are the key principles and motivations behind the project:

Secure defaults without compromising usability
Everything is replaceable and customizable
Immutable infrastructure applied to building Linux distributions
Completely stateless, but persistent storage can be attached
Easy tooling, with easy iteration
Built with containers, for running containers
Designed for building and running clustered applications, including but not limited to container orchestration such as Docker or Kubernetes
Designed from the experience of building Docker Editions, but redesigned as a general-purpose toolkit
Designed to be managed by external tooling, such as Infrakit or similar tools
Includes a set of longer-term collaborative projects in various stages of development to innovate on kernel and userspace changes, particularly around security

For this Online Meetup, Docker Technical Staff member Rolf Neugebauer gave an introduction to LinuxKit, explained the rationale behind its development and gave a demo on how to get started using it.

You’ll find below a list of additional questions asked by attendees at the end of the online meetups:

Online Meetup Recap: Docker Community Edition (CE) and Enterprise Edition (EE)

Last week, we announced Docker Enterprise Edition (EE) and Docker Community Edition (CE) new and renamed versions of the Docker platform. Docker EE, supported by Docker Inc., is available on certified operating systems and cloud providers and runs certified Containers and Plugins from Docker Store. The Docker open source products are now Docker CE and we have adopted a new lifecycle and time-based versioning scheme for both Docker EE and CE.

Docker Community Edition

We asked product manager and release captain, Michael Friis to introduce Docker CE + EE to our online community. The meetup took place on Wednesday, March 8th and over 600 people RSVPed to hear Michael’s presentation live. He gave an overview of both editions and highlighted the big enhancements to the lifecycle, maintainability and upgradability of Docker.
