This was my first time presenting in front of a meetup, but judging from the questions and discussion afterwards, I think I got the key ideas across! If you’re interested, my slides for the event should be at the bottom of this post and can be downloaded [here](http://speakerdeck.com/eepyaich/project-calico-an-introduction-may-2015). I was sharing the event with a couple of other great talks. - First up, Alex Collins gave a fascinating insight into some of the work he’d done on getting Docker working alongside Apache Maven. His foils are [here](http://www.alexecollins.com/docker-maven-plugin-presentation-at-docker-london/). - Then, after a Pizza and beer break, the folks from Resin.io gave a great demonstration of their system for pushing updates to IoT devices over slow networks; their system ensures that only the essential changes to an image are distributed, meaning each device can be updated as quickly as possible. Their talk included a great demo where they were updating large container images on a set of 20 Raspberry Pi devices over a single 3G connection in a matter of seconds.
