Docker Birthday #4: Thank you Docker Community!

Pақмет сізге, tak, धन्यवाद, cảm ơn bạn, شكرا, mulțumesc, gracias, merci, danke, obrigado, ευχαριστώ, köszönöm, thank you community! From Des Moines to Santiago de Cuba, Budapest to Tel Aviv and Sydney to Cairo, it was so awesome to see the energy from the community coming together to celebrate and learn about Docker!

We originally planned for 50 Docker Birthday celebrations worldwide with 2,500 attendees. But over 9,000 people registered to attend one of the 152 celebrations across 5 continents! A huge thank you to all the Docker meetup organizers who worked hard to make these celebrations happen and offered Docker beginners the  opportunity to participate in hands on Docker labs.
Join in on the fun!
In case you missed it last week, check out the pics from all of the  celebrations including the awesome birthday cakes! Check out the Facebook photo album too! Up for a little more reading? Check out these blog posts from Docker Captains Jonas Rosland and Alex Ellis about their experience mentoring at their local event.
None of this would have been possible without the support (and expertise!) of the 500+ advanced Docker users who signed up as mentors to help attendees learn about Docker by working through the labs we have available.
Here are some of our favorite tweets from the meetups:

Learn Docker
In case you weren’t able to attend a local event, all the labs are now available to everyone online here: http://birthday.play-with-docker.com/
About play-with-docker
Play-with-docker (PWD) is a site made by Docker captains Marcos Nils and Jonathan Leibiusky. PWD is a Docker playground which allows you to run Docker commands in a matter of seconds. It gives you the experience of having a free Alpine Linux Virtual Machine in your browser, where you can build and run Docker containers and even create clusters in Docker Swarm Mode. Under the hood DIND or Docker-in-Docker is used to give the effect of multiple VMs/PCs.
Share Your Experience
If you were able to attend a local event, please take a moment to let us know how it went. Here is the participant survey and the mentor survey.
Contribute to Docker Labs
The material used for the Bday 4 meetups was pulled from https://github.com/docker/labs and contains Docker labs and tutorials authored by Docker, and by members of the community. We welcome contributions and want that repo to grow. If you have a tutorial to submit, or contributions to existing tutorials, please check out the guide to submitting your own tutorial.

Docker Turns 4: Thank you Docker Community!

In case you missed it, this week we’re celebrating ’s 4th Birthday with meetups all over the world (check out  on twitter). This feels like the right time to look back at the past 4 years and reflect on what makes the Docker Community so unique and vibrant: people, values, mentorship and learning opportunities. You can read our own Jérôme Petazzoni’s blog post for a more technical retrospective.
Managing an open source project at that scale and preserving a healthy community doesn’t come without challenges. Last year, Arnaud Porterie wrote a very interesting 3-part series blog post on open source at Docker covering the different challenges associated with the People, the Process and the Tooling and Automation. The most important aspect of all being the people.
Respect, fairness and openness are essential values required to create a welcoming environment for professionals and hobbyists alike. In that spirit, we’ve launched a scholarship program and partnerships in an attempt to improve opportunities for underrepresented groups in the tech industry while helping the Docker Community become more diverse. If you’re interested in this topic, we’re fortunate enough to have Austin area high school student Kate Hirschfeld presenting at DockerCon on Diversity in the face of adversity.
But what really makes the Docker community so special is all of the passionate contributors who work tremendously hard to submit pull requests, file GitHub issues, organize meetups, give talks at conferences, write blog posts or record Docker tips videos.
Leadership, mentorship, contribution and collaboration play a massive role in the development of the Docker Community and container ecosystem. Through the organization of the Docker Mentor Week last year or a Docker Mentor Summit at DockerCon 2017, we’re always trying to emulate the community and encourage more advanced users to share their knowledge with newcomers.
A great example of leadership and mentorship in the Docker Community is Docker Captain Alex Ellis. We could not write a blog post on without mentioning Alex and the awesome work he does around Docker and Raspberry Pi. In addition to sharing his knowledge through blog posts and videos, Alex is actively inspiring and mentoring younger folks such as Finnian Anderson. Alex’s support and advocacy got Finnian invited to DockerCon 2017 to give a demo of a Raspberry Pi-driven hardware gauge to monitor a Docker Swarm in real time.

If you’re pumped about all the things you learn and all the people you meet at Docker events, you’re going to love what we have planned for you at this year’s DockerCon! We’re giving everyone at DockerCon access to a tool called to connect with people who share the same Docker use cases, topic of interests or hack ideas, or even your favorite TV shows. So no matter where you’re traveling from or how many people you know before the conference, we will make sure you end up feeling at home!

Announcing Docker Birthday #4: Spreading the Docker Love!

Community is at the heart of and thanks to the hard work of thousands of maintainers, contributors, Captains, mentors, organizers, and the entire Docker community, the Docker platform is now used in production by companies of all sizes and industries.
To show our love and gratitude, it has become a tradition for Docker and our awesome network of meetup organizers to host Docker Birthday meetup celebrations all over the world. This year the celebrations will take place during the week of March 13-19, 2017. Come learn, mentor, celebrate, eat cake, and take an epic !
Docker Love
We wanted to hear from the community about why they love Docker!
Wellington Silva, Docker São Paulo meetup organizer said “Docker changed my life, I used to spend days compiling and configuring environments. Then I used to spend hours setting up using VM. Nowadays I setup an environment in minutes, sometimes in seconds.”

Love the new organization of commands in Docker 1.13!
— Kaslin Fields (@kaslinfields) January 25, 2017

Docker Santo Domingo organizer, Victor Recio said, “Docker has increased my effectiveness at work, currently I can deploy software to production environment without worrying that it will not work when the delivery takes place. I love docker and I&;m very grateful with it and whenever I can share my knowledge about docker with the young people of the communities of my country I do it and I am proud that there are already startups that have reach a Silicon Valley level.”

We love docker here at @Harvard for our screening platform. https://t.co/zpp8Wpqvk5
