+# Development report for 26 March 2017
+
+The third weekly development report. Feel free to send PRs if you want to add to these reports (or correct them).
+
+## New Contributors
+
+Daniel Finneran @thebsdbox from HPE added support for building vmdk images [#1357](https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1357). There is discussion of extending this to producing VMX files in issue [#1366](https://github.com/docker/moby/issues/1366).
+
+We continued to invite people to participate; if you have any suggestions for additional people who are interested please let us know.
+
+Welcome everyone, looking forward to your contributions and working with you. Please open issues on github if you need help, or ask on #moby in the (Docker community slack)[https://community.docker.com/registrations/groups/4316].
+
+## Projects
+
+An additional project was added for adding SELinux support, which has been on the roadmap for a while. Tycho (@tych0) from Docker is currently working on this.
+
+A WIP PR for the HPE OKernel work was added [#1373](https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1373), this should be included with its runtime tools soon.
+
+## This week
+
+The big change this week was reworking the command line tool, so it now has `moby build` and `moby run` options. The aim of the `moby run` option is to cover the simple cases
+where you want to test out an image you have built; it is not intended as a production tool, just as a simpler workflow for testing. The aim is to have a default option per
+platform, such as the hyperkit option there is for MacOS now, so we will add Qemu/KVM support for Linux and Hyper-V support for Windows. In addition there will be support for
+optional drivers, such as local VMWare Fusion, as discussed in [#1357](https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1357) which can have their own custom options; we will probably add the GCE
+support here too to make it even simpler to run.
+
+In addition to `moby build` and `moby run` we have previously discussed adding a `moby cluster` type option to simply create a cluster, by default with infrakit, essentially as a
+simple infrakit wrapper. Again this is not intended for production use but just to run simple test and development cases. For production that plan is that `moby build` can produce
+the artifacts you need for your production ops tooling.
+
+A whole lot more code has been moved to Go code this week; in addition to the hyperkit bindings, some of the Docker containers that we were using for build have been removed. The next
+change there is to rewrite the very indirect use of `riddler` running in a container that we started using in the old Editions code some months ago to a cleaner way. We plan to use more
+image handling code from `containerd` in future for unpacking the root filesystems, as it should make the code much cleaner.
+
+More test code was added by Rolf in [#1363)(https://github.com/docker/moby/pull/1363), for testing the vsock and hvsock code we use a lot in Docker Editions. Dave Tucker (@dave-tucker)
+from Docker is going to be working on configuring CI to run additional tests [#1336](https://github.com/docker/moby/issues/1336), so we get solid test coverage on different platforms
+and can provide CI for projects and new platforms. This includes CI on both cloud and bare metal platforms, and the ability to test with VMs.
+
+We continued to move code around the repo; not everything is in the right place yet but it should become clearer where to find things, and some unused parts were deleted. We will
+sprinkle READMEs around soon to help navigation.
+
+Containerd was updated to master; while Moby runs `containerd`, we are actually starting system services thought `runc` still, as the rate of change on `containerd` has been very
+rapid. The [addition of container level Prometheus metrics](https://github.com/docker/containerd/pull/646) to `containerd` this week means that we will be able to get system
+container metrics out of Moby once we switch, so will try to do this soon.
+
+There was some more documentation added this week, but this continues to be a priority. We cleaned up some old issues, but more need closing.
+
+## Naming
+
+We are all quite fond of the "moby" codename this project has had since late 2015; see the [first commit](https://github.com/docker/moby/commit/0fa1e68dc65c5f484ce9c2851b5efa2c8617d4f9)
+for the original plan. However this has always been a temporary name, and any suggestions for a permanent one welcomed. So do not be surprised if we rename the repo at some point soon.
+
+## Dockercon
+
+- there will be a talk by @justincormack on Moby (currently billed as containerd...)
+- there will be a Docker Security talk with @riyazdf (`Secure Substrate: Least Privilege Container Deployment`) that will highlight Moby
+- there will be a session and lots of time to talk at the Thursday summit - get in touch if you need an invite.
