Hi, I'm Deepinder Goyal, Founder and CEO of Zomato. Ask me anything!

Docker

Solomon Hykes started Docker as an internal project within dotCloud, a platform as a service company, with initial contributions by other dotCloud engineers including Andrea Luzzardi and Francois-Xavier Bourlet. Jeff Lindsay was also involved as an independent collaborator. Docker represents an evolution of dotCloud's proprietary technology, which itself built on earlier open-source projects such as Cloudlets.

Docker was released as open source in March 2013. On March 13, 2014, with the release of version 0.9, Docker dropped LXC as the default execution environment and replaced it with its own libcontainer library written in Go language. As of November 1, 2014, the project had over 16,000 GitHub stars (making it the 27th most starred GitHub project), over 3,200 forks, and nearly 700 contributors.

Facebook

In 2014 alone, Facebook launched 107 open-source projects, up from 90 open-source repositories in 2013. This brings Facebook's total number of open-source projects to 225. source

Apache Hadoop

Hadoop was created by Doug Cutting and Mike Cafarella in 2005. Cutting, who was working at Yahoo! at the time, named it after his son's toy elephant. It was originally developed to support distribution for the Nutch search engine project.

OpenStack

In July 2010, Rackspace Hosting and NASA jointly launched an open-source cloud-software initiative known as OpenStack. The OpenStack project intended to help organizations offer cloud-computing services running on standard hardware. The community's first official release, code-named Austin, appeared four months later, with plans to release regular updates of the software every few months. The early code came from NASA's Nebula platform as well as from Rackspace's Cloud Files platform.

YES. NASA. LET THAT SINK IN.
