Akshay Dixit commented on MESOS-2162:
-------------------------------------
Hi, I'm Akshay[1][2] and I just came across this project, and I would love to
work on it. I know I'm pretty late ( ~3 days left for applying to GSoC) but I
hope you'll consider helping me put together a decent proposal. I'm currently
reading the CoreOS AppSpec[3], and from what I figure out, this project
basically boils down to building a working port of Rocket[4] from Go in C++ in
the sense we have a new containerizer (like Docker[5]) that launches "App
Containers" as Tasks.
If so, I'd appreciate if you could point me to the next steps of how to go
about building a proposal. Should I get an understanding of how Rocket
implements their App Container Runtime and try to see how currently Docker
containerizers are supported and try to go forward from that?
I understand it is highly improbable to come up with a good proposal in just
three days. But I would like to try.
Regards,
Akshay Dixit

> CoreOS have released a
> [specification|https://github.com/coreos/rocket/blob/master/app-container/SPEC.md]
> for a container abstraction as an alternative to Docker. They have also
> released a reference implementation, [rocket|https://coreos.com/blog/rocket/].
> We should consider a C++ implementation of the specification to have parity
> with the community and then use this implementation for our containerizer.
