== What ==

Gijs Molenaar will be talking about using Docker to deploy scientific software bundles.

=== Talk abstract ===

''A lot of software in radio astronomy is based on Python. For the last 2 years I’ve been working on improving the quality and usability of scientific tools written in this field. A key technology principle in tackling this problem is Docker, a relatively new but amazingly useful and promising tool. Docker makes it possible to develop and deploy complex and often fragile data reduction pipelines in a more controlled way, from macbook to cloud computing platform and private cluster. ''

''The umbrella project for the container projects is called Papino:  https://github.com/ska-sa/papino''
