Hi Deploying containers to Docker hub IMHO is the same as deploying Java artefacts to Maven or Node.JS modules to NPM or whatever. It is a release of a convenience binary in addition to the official source release.
As such: +1 to supporting Docker, just like Maven Repositories or NPM repositories for convenience binaries of releases +1 to not requiring the „incubator“ suffix or prefix (similar to referred to Maven discussion) +1 to requiring notes regarding incubation of the respective notes in any Docker Hub description functionality (see for example https://hub.docker.com/r/nuagebec/ubuntu/) Regards Felix Am 05.01.2017 um 10:32 schrieb Greg Stein <gst...@gmail.com<mailto:gst...@gmail.com>>: Taking off my Infrastructure hat from within that issue, and speaking to this from a Foundation policy standpoint ... I think this is probably okay, if the docker image is named (say) u/apache/incubator-singa. We allow incubator projects in our github namespace as github.com/apache/incubator-singa<http://github.com/apache/incubator-singa>. But then we also get into an area of "what happens around graduation?" ... do we then offer both u/incubator-singa *and* u/singa ? ... If that's acceptable, then this may be a simple decision. But for downstream stability/continuity reasons would a podling want to *start* at docker/u/singa ? ... and that is where I ask if the IPMC is willing to give up the incubator- signal within our namespace on docker. And yes, I recognize the similarity to the concurrent discussion about Maven Central artifacts. There are costs/benefits around continuity and impacts on downstream users. Putting my Infra hat back on: the IPMC needs to specify a policy on allowance and naming around hub.docker.com<http://hub.docker.com> hosting, that Infra will use to assist podlings.

Starting this thread to see if we should have a vote on for this or we can get incubator VP approval for this. Thanks, Thejas
