You mean like the conferences they held before they even had a viable product?
Docker has stampeded onto the scene with zero competition, and the Parent comment is totally right -- we should take a good minute and consider that we are head-first rushing to implement everywhere a product made and perpetuated by a for-profit company who's end goal is literally to be on every server and be the de facto implementation so that once they start to monetize the product, you will have little choice but to funnel support funds into their company.
That's petrifying to me, because it means if realized, my company will be at the whims of Docker, not the other way around.
Furthermore, the backlash from the Docker creator himself the other day on the announcement by CoreOS, it really seems Docker never anticipated ever having any competition in this space, and have taken active steps to ensure they are their own custom thing that is not compatible with other existing or future container implementations.
Perhaps this will change now, and they will work with CoreOS to clearly define a universal specification for a container which can be portable between any implementation, but signs show they don't feel it's in their company's best interest to do so (and honestly it isn't in their best interest, but it's in the community's best interest for sure).
