Did you used to be on our email list and suddenly haven't gotten email for months?  We had a glitch and it caused many people to get unsubscribed; unfortunately Tina doesn't have a way of knowing who all we lost.  Please use "Linux mailing list" on the left to get yourself re-added, sorry!

We’ll look at how to use Docker from the command line, and how it can be managed via a web interface. We’ll also discuss some security aspects which various vendors are trying to address.
