3:10p	Docker 1.8 released The 1.8 release of the Docker container system is out, with a number of new features. "Docker Content Trust is a new feature in Docker Engine 1.8 that makes it possible to verify the publisher of Docker images. When a publisher pushes an image to a remote registry, Docker signs the image with a private key. When you later pull this image, Docker uses the publisher’s public key to verify that the image you are about to run is exactly what the publisher created, has not been tampered with, and is up to date."

8:43p	[$] Working with xdg-app application bundles One of the oft-recurring topics at GUADEC 2015 was the xdg-app application-packaging system currently being developed. Xdg-app's lead developer Alexander Larsson gave a presentation on its current status on the first day, and it featured prominently in Christian Hergert's keynote about reaching new developers as well as in Bastien Nocera's talk about hardware enablement. Perhaps the most practical discussion of the subject, however, came in Stephan Bergmann's talk about his recent attempts to bundle LibreOffice into an xdg-app package. (Comment on this)
