Thanks for sharing this, somehow I missed that news.
We've been using docker since its early early stages, but recently grew reluctant, mainly bc of unclear (to me) vision for the business and how it's going to support the open source community around the tool.
Hoping for the best with this move to Mirantis.

It's great news both for the Enterprise business and now the Open Source side. Some great new features are rolling out more frequently for Docker for Desktop, Docker Engine, and Docker Hub. Watch this space.
