Hello All,

Unfortunately due to a clash with another event, the eth1 Hackathon has been cancelled. We hope to rearrange this sometime later this year, so stay tuned for further news.

Our last email got several event dates and times muddled up, in particular showing several events tomorrow evening. The only event tomorrow is Geek Night. The corrected times are below.

Kind regards,

The CompSoc committee

David North and Jay Anslow from local software company CoreFiling will talk about Docker (https://www.docker.com/), which aims to do for software deployment what shipping containers did for international cargo. We'll talk about the problems it aims to solve, our experience of them, our early work with Docker and our plans for future use.
