Brian’s talk about “CoreOS Flannel”

Topic 1 - Besides being the Most Interesting Beard in the Cloud, give us some of your background?

Topic 2 - Let’s talk about CoreOS Fest - Give us a quick recap and some of the highlights for you

Topic 3 - Tell us about “Tectonic” - Commercial Kubernetes Platform

Topic 4 - What’s the latest on Application Container Specification (“appc”) - https://github.com/appc/spec. Do you think we’ll just see multiple container specs going forward (as we’ve seen with lots of technologies in the past), or is it possible that some will converge (or go away)?

Topic 5 - You’re a systems person. Help us connect the dots in the CoreOS stack - from OS to Container Spec (rkt) to Discovery (etcs) to Networking (flannel) to Schedulers (kubernetes)
