Ask HN: Why was Docker first launched at PyCon?
2 by galenmarchetti | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Solomon Hykes famously launched Docker in 2013 at PyCon with this talk (amazing 5 minute watch if you haven't seen it yet): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wW9CAH9nSLs&ab_channel=dotcloudtv As someone who wasn't involved in the industry at this space, it's curious to me that PyCon was the place for Docker to launch, given the talk seems to have nothing to do with python / docker itself doesn't seem to have anything to do with python specifically (although of course python devs use docker a lot nowadays). Anyone remember this / have insights into why PyCon was the launch site for Docker?
