[Wylug-discuss] First Meeting Lord Darcy 23rd Feb 2015 WYLUG a success! :)

[Graham Whaley]

I had a most enjoyable evening - thanks Andrew for pulling us together
and making it happen :-)

I think it was probably I who prompted the topic of Docker - well,
actually, I mentioned maybe we could discuss containers as a whole as
there seemed to be some chat about VMs, and containers and Docker etc.
seem to be a hot topic right now, so it seemed appropriate.
Note though - i know very little about the topic :-), other than maybe
a few details about the lower level implementations such as hardware
virtualisation and LXC etc.

I think the 'meet between 7-7:30' will work - it's unlikely at the
moment that I'd get there for spot on 7 either.

Looking forward to the next meet (oh, and the beer selection was
pleasantly varied!)

 Graham
