If we're going to talk about scaling, we should throw in our new docker support

Yep, We definitely need to talk about the resource-agents.

Adding to the list, it would be a good idea to talk about Deployment
integration testing, what's going on with the phd project and why it's
important regardless if you're interested in what the project functionally
does.
