Discussion:

Roadmap in relationship to 1.0.0
- j00bar suggested that we make the following roadmap items part of 1.0.0
  - Create multiple, simple working examples similar to Jag's "Hello World" demo from AnsibleFest
  - Get pre-baked conductor images passing RedHat Security Scan, and pushed into RedHat Container Catalog
  - Create daily pre-bake, scanning, and pushing of images in Travis
- Everyone agreed. J00bar took ownership of items 1 and 3, and chouseknecht took item 2.
- chouseknecht requested a 0.9.2 release push to PyPi, so that users are using and providing feedback with latest code
- j00bar worked out a way to reduce the pre-baked images sizes, and will push this new code as part of 0.9.2 in the next day or two.
- j00bar will also look into bumping the Docker compose version requirement in conductor-requirements.txt. It's currently at >=1.14. That may possibly be related to issue #720.
- remaining items on the roadmap will be post 1.0.0
PR #719
- Consensus is that running systemd within a container and wanting the init system to own PID 1, is a valid use case.
- Rather than having a single directive called build_command, the PR should be modified to provide a broader directive called build_overrides that follows the pattern of dev_overrides.
- j00bar summarized, build_overrides is a good addition to container.yml because:
  1. It remains consistent. Meaning, if you are familiar with a subset of our syntax, learning a new section should be intuitive.
  2. It's DRY.
  3. Every addition creates clear value.
- chouseknecht volunteered to comment on the PR.
j00bar suggested that we start an "Advanced Techniques" section in the docs
- Get users started on the happy case with the low friction, shallow onramp story
- In this new section, offer solutions to problems that some users run into and need help solving
- The issue expressed in PR #719 is an example that fits in this new section
