The Linux Foundation is launching a new event in 2015 dedicated to bringing together leading developers and contributors of Linux containers with the Linux kernel developer community. The event called ContainerCon will be co-located with LinuxCon + CloudOpen North America in Seattle, August 17-19, 2015.
Being co-located with LinuxCon North America will enable attendees who work with containers to meet and collaborate with the larger Linux developer community, including kernel developers. Companies and projects that have signed on as early supporters of ContainerCon include Canonical, Cloud Foundry Foundation, CoreOS, Docker, IBM, Parallels, Planisys, Red Hat, and Twitter.
“Containers are disrupting traditional application development and virtualization models,” said Linux Foundation CMO Amanda McPherson. “We believe it is important to offer a space for those working with containers, and those interested in learning more about them, to come together and share knowledge about this important new technology. Since Linux is the platform for containers, it’s a natural fit.”
