The Open Container Project
The Open Container Project
has announced its
existence. "Housed under the Linux Foundation, the OCP’s mission
is to enable users and companies to continue to innovate and develop
container-based solutions, with confidence that their pre-existing
development efforts will be protected and without industry
fragmentation. As part of this initiative, Docker will donate the code for
its software container format and its runtime, as well as the associated
specifications. The leadership of the Application Container spec (“appc”)
initiative, including founding member CoreOS, will also be bringing their
technical leadership and support to OCP."
