Last month we asked the Docker community to vote for the name of the Docker whale. We received 411 votes and today we are excited to announce that the community chose Moby Dock.

name_votes

As promised, the first three community members who answered “Moby Dock” to the question “What should we name the Docker whale?” in the first survey will receive two Docker t-shirts and 10 stickers. Check your email! 🙂
