Oh, and **hot dogs!!!**  (Docker Dogs?!)  This year we decided to start the conference a little bit early with a warm up at Frank Restaurant on Monday at 2pm (Mac & Cheese hotdogs with salsa fries anyone).  Come [**join us (aka RSVP)**](http://www.eventbrite.com/e/hot-dogs-project-calico-tickets-4670616941) for some great Austin food, drinks, and just a good time meeting other Calico users in the community. **We have a booth!**You can also swing by the Tigera booth to visit with the team behind Project Calico and learn about the great new features in [Calico 2.1](https://www.tigera.io/blog/project-calico-2-1-released/) (including endpoint labeling support for Docker).  We’d also love to know what you think of Project Calico, and what you’d like to see on the roadmap/ how we can continue to make it better. **And Kitties!**Yes we have kitties (well fake kitties).  If you haven’t already had a chance to get your Project Calico plush kitty – be sure to stop by the Tigera booth (where we’ll be each day) to get one. **Hope to see you in Austin!** [Event](https://www.tigera.io/tags/event/)[Open Source](https://www.tigera.io/tags/open-source/)[Project Calico](https://www.tigera.io/tags/project-calico/) ## Related posts [![What’s new in Calico: Spring 2026 Release](https://www.tigera.io/app/uploads/2026/06/Whats-New-in-Calico-NEW-TEMPLATE-2026.png)](https://www.tigera.io/blog/whats-new-in-calico-spring-2026-release/) #### [What’s new in Calico: Spring 2026 Release](https://www.tigera.io/blog/whats-new-in-calico-spring-2026-release/) By [Veronika Smolik](https://www.tigera.io/blog/author/veronika-smolik/) on Jun 2, 2026 Kubernetes has come a long way since its debut in 2014.
