Topic 1 - You were previously at Gluster (acquired by RedHat). When you were asked to run another venture-backed open-source company, were there any concerns about how to manage investor expectations vs. community expectations?

Topic 2 - When does Docker officially GA?

Topic 3 - Docker already is involved in CloudFoundry, OpenStack, OpenShift and several other major projects (along with 1000s of independent projects on GitHub). What areas does the project focus on going forward?

Topic 4 - What are some of the unique use-cases you're hearing about for using Docker?

Topic 5 - Ben talks about some of the highlights that he expects to see at DockerCon 2014, as well as some of the public companies that have contributed heavily to Docker's growth.
