Docker and some bioconductor packages were used long time ago at
CodersCrowd http://coderscrowd.com/ , good to see this move finally hit the
community, awesome move, keep it up

It will be great to support bioconductor users by using CodersCrowd as
well, reproducibility is also when you reproduce errors not just working
code

Cheers
