Okay, I can document that, so we get everything to work, and I write this nice little guide.

Someone on our team, they publish it to the official CoreOS website.

So then we relaunch that on Hacker News.

And then we go to number one.

And everyone is like, Google just announced this thing.

We don't know what it is.

And then Kelsey launches this thing.

We now know what it is.

We know how to install it.

We know how to run it.

So now people are downloading CoreOS just so they can play with Kubernetes.

And I had a keynote probably in a week.

I don't know what I submitted to the conference because usually you submit like months ahead of time.

I was like, hey, I know this talk was supposed to be about this, but it's not today.

It's going to be about Kubernetes.

And people were like, what's that?

I was like, yeah, I just got announced.

I want to show you.

And I started giving people live demos of Kubernetes and how to make it work, you know, using CoreOS and all these things.

But the team still wasn't sold because we had our own roadmap.
