Barak Michener, CoreOS Developer Advocate

Barak is a distributed systems developer for CoreOS, working in Go on etcd. His other interests include graph databases (maintaining Cayley), machine learning, and programming languages.

Rocket and the App Container Spec

Rocket is a simple daemon-free tool that enables users to run containerized apps on their systems free of host dependencies. Containers running under rocket execute like regular processes and can be managed using existing process management tools like upstart, systemd, runit, and etc.

Rocket is also an implementation of the "App Container Spec" which defines how to define and build containerized applications based on tooling like tar and pgp. And then host these files easily using standard protocols like HTTP. The goal of the spec is to enable independent and creative implementations of container runtimes and build tools.

Both of these projects are open source and part of a young growing community. Come learn how they work and how you can get involved.

Ilya Dmitrichenko, Developer at Weaveworks

Ilya have previously worked at a one of London's key IoT platform vendors heading DevOps as well as embedded systems R&D. He recently joined Weaveworks to help in delivering high quality tooling for the age of hybrid cloud and ubiquitous connectivity.
