Last month, over 5,000 people attended one of the 125 Docker Birthday celebrations scheduled worldwide! In case you missed it, check out the pics from all of the #dockerbday celebrations including the awesome birthday cakes! With the help of the community, we created a self-paced beginners’ tutorial for attendees to learn Docker basics as they built, shipped and ran the voting app.
Last month, we announced our plans to celebrate the Docker Project’s 3rd birthday by organizing a series of events focused on providing Docker training to beginners. Over the past few weeks we have been amazed (once again) by the energy and incredible response from the Docker community and today, we’re happy to share with you some exciting updates! Thanks to the hard work of the awesome Docker meetup organizers, community mentors, partners and sponsors in the broader tech and open-source community, there are more than 5,500 people registered to attend one of the 100 local editions of the Docker birthday…

It’s been a year now since Docker was launched.

Since then, 370 contributors joined the project, 60+ Docker Meetup Groups were launched in 27 different countries, Docker has been downloaded more than 1,000,000 times, dotCloud became Docker and recently announced DockerCon. Docker would not have much significance without its massive community. We’ve noticed some amazing things about you that we’ve listed for our 1 year celebration. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
