Here's an even better proposal - lets try immeasurably hard to stop re-inventing words and maybe use words that people would generally understand without an accompanying definition. Where, for instance, software actually means software and tech actually means technology. :p

Culture isn't a great answer to throw around when people are asking hard questions about a program that is the financial backbone of a company. In fact its downright snooty to presume that allegations like this stem from folks who have experienced a different corporate culture. People generally get to know what a company's culture really is like from the folks who leave that company. And there are tons of those folks from Google. The point is, whether you appreciate Google's internal culture of candour or not or its lack of silos, that's just not the way to respond to allegations regarding the way Google makes serious profits.

Quay.io is a great product and if you're happy with it we don't recommend moving to Gandalf.io.

Gandalf.io went live yesterday and still very much in early beta and we're still improving the functionality and experience. The reason we decided to set up Gandalf was because we think this is a huge potential market with space for at least 3-4 players. We also think docker containerisation is more than just enterprise devops preserve and want to lower the threshold for startups and individual developers to get started.

Gandalf.io has an auth layer wrapped around the standard docker registry and you can access it via SSL using the docker api (this includes the docker CLI). We're still examining ways in which we can strengthen the security of the system and are open to suggestions and insights.

Github based builds are in the upcoming release slated for next week. Sign up for the free plan and you'll be notified by email when that happens.

I do agree that's something we might have to change if the signups slow down. And we need to do a cost-benefit on that perhaps. At the moment, folks are signing up though :)

Thank you! yes, sometimes we misunderstand the intent of a comment. and sometimes we don't :)

Our goal is to integrate your docker workflow very tightly with github. The user will be able to decide which features to switch on and off and whether to write or only read! Obviously we'd rather announce these features when they're ready and we'd rather collect the data upfront so we don't have to prompt the user once again when they sign in.

agreed. next stop - trusted builds. I'll announce you'll sign up?

We will. But we won't be offering an enterprise plan while we're in beta :)

Sure we're sending a signal that we're not ready for enterprise folks. I can be candid in saying that we'd rather be the digital ocean of dockers than an AWS. at this point :p

disappointed. not even a single free docker?
