6:58p	[$] News and updates from DockerCon 2015 DockerCon on June 22 and 23 was a much bigger affair than CoreOSFest or ContainerCamp was. DockerCon rented out the San Francisco Marriott for the event; the keynote ballroom seats 2000. That's a pretty dramatic change from the first DockerCon last year, with roughly 500 attendees; it shows the huge growth of interest in Linux containers. Or maybe, given that it's Silicon Valley, what you're seeing is the magnetic power of $95 million in round-C funding. Subscribers can click below for a report from DockerCon by guest author Josh Berkus. (Comment on this)
8:20p	Supreme Court won’t weigh in on Oracle-Google API copyright battle (Ars Technica) Ars Technica reports that the US Supreme Court rejected Google's appeal of the Google-Oracle API copyright dispute. "Despite the high court's inaction on the case, the Google-Oracle legal flap is far from resolved. That's because the appeals court sent the case back to the lower courts to determine whether Google's use of the code in Android—which it no longer uses—constitutes a "fair use." Oracle is seeking $1 billion in damages. "This is not the end of the road for this case—the Federal Circuit decision explicitly left open the possibility that the kinds of uses Google made were permissible under copyright's fair use doctrine," said Charles Duan, the director of Public Knowledge's patent reform project."
