Join other Boston-area developers and Docker fans for Docker Global Hack Day #2. We'll livestream the 1.3 announcement and have plenty of food, coffee, and wifi for this hack day. The fun continues with a Docker Meetup with plenty of interesting talks and demos, as well as judging of the winning hack. All hacks will be submitted for consideration to win conference and plane tickets to DockerCon Europe in Amsterdam!
Thursday, October 30th. Registration starts at 11:30. Lunch will start at 12:00.
The beautiful offices of clypd.com, at 212 Elm Street, Somerville, MA.
Use #dockerhackday as the tag.
After lunch and the livestream, we have the following confirmed talks:
- Andrei Mackenzie from clypd(http://clypd.com/) on how clypd uses Docker to streamline their testing process.
- Elias Torres from Hubspot. A short talk and demo about Singularity, a Mesos scheduler (HTTP API and webapp) for running mesos tasks—long running processes, one-off tasks, and scheduled jobs. This was a dry-run for his presentation next week at AWS re:Invent.
- Paul Lam from Spokepoint. Paul presented on Fig for Developing Microservices. Fig is a big part of the new Docker release, and Paul's presentation makes a compelling case about how to streamline your architecture and workflows.
Switch to other room at 2:30 (ish)
Theme is distributed computing -- Fig and new Hosts (Host functions are in "hosts-management" branch, so we'd need to build a binary for it)

The bulk of the day will be devoted to hacking on projects using the features of the new Docker release. If you're thinking about a topic you're interested in working on or forming a team around, you'll have a chance to pitch it during the event. If you already have an idea about what you might be interested in, send a pull request and we'll add it here:
- Andrew Odewahn. Docker for IPython Notebooks and other rich learning environments.
