£150 is inline with other SE UK based 1 day conferences such as FullFrontal, Edge etc. I think that there must be good interest in this given that all the early bird tickets went in a day. Would be good to see a full lineup soon, but confs organised by devs for devs can only be a good thing. Also like to see a CoC on the site too (maybe I missed it).

That is way too expensive and I can't just ask my company to pay it.

Rather go to EMF camp[1] it's cheaper and it's a 3 day camp/talk everything you ever wanted.

Eh, it's in line with things like [1] - and substantially cheaper than things like [2]. Well below the cost of the employee's time.

EMF Camp sounds like fun, but it doesn't look like they're targeting the get-your-employer-to-pay market. By and large, corporate training doesn't run over the weekend and expect attendees to bring their own camping and cooking equipment! [3]

True.

However I have to pay out of my own pocket regardless and that's way more fun anyway.

£150 for conference which can't even post a full speaker list and agenda, i'll pass.

Agreed, i'd probably go if it was FOC..

There's no CFP listed on the site, but the speaker list is far from complete, so I'm guessing anyone wanting to submit a talk should just mail the organisers?

Anyone coming? :)

My company is plumping for a few tickets woot!

I'd like to give a talk, definitely sounds interesting.

Just expensing a ticket now!

This is not an official event and not approved by the Docker team.

Yes, it's a community lead conference!

So, is it a good or bad thing?

I'm guessing I'm invited to this one by default eh!?
