I'd be interested too. If it's any help, I could borrow a handful of old 
machines from the CSSA - next door, in N102. Perhaps I'm getting a 
little outside just Docker, but the distributed/scalable aspect of 
containerisation is also quite interesting to me.

As many others have said, thank you for the wonderful talk Brad.
