Anything else to share or we upvote logos to front page now?

In the linked GitHub page, I see links to Calico, Flannel and Kubernetes. Projects that deserve front page by themselves, but why does Canal show here now if apparently there's nothing to share?

I am very interested on everything that smells of networking and especially SDN, so please, bring some information :)

The big news here is at CoreOS Fest Berlin they announced that Calico and Flannel were combining projects to create Canal. The Canal project will be managed by a company called Tigera https://www.tigera.io/

Sorry, still probably early on the github page for Canal (Tigera). I'll see if I can find the slides online from the presentation today.

Canal is just Calico with different lipstick for now. Just a new company so a new name with features planned for the future.

Not the best video, but here's Andy (the CEO of Tigera) talking about Canal. http://www.enterprisenetworkingplanet.com/datacenter/coreos-...
