+Gijs Molenaar will give the talk he had to postpone last year and 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''
