I love startup companies. I love open source software. I love innovation. Put them all together and you have the ingredients for something incredible. Meet Docker, Inc. (formerly known as dotCloud), the San Francisco based open source company that will revolutionize the way you package and deploy applications on Linux servers.

Through the persistence of Olivia Irvin of MindShare PR, I had the pleasure of meeting Ben Golub, CEO of Docker, Inc. I’m glad that she stayed in contact with me so that I would take notice of Docker, the solution and the company. It was a great find.
