Here at the UW CHTC, some HTCondor developers have also done a bunch of 
experimenting w/ Docker, had discussions with Docker folks at OSCON 2014 
re Docker+HTCondor, etc. Be aware that we are planning to add 
first-class support for HTCondor management of Docker containers as jobs 
in the first quarter of 2015.  I.e. a "universe = docker" option in the 
submit file.  The ticket for this is at
  https://htcondor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=4497
which at this point just includes a link to a design document that gives 
a high-level description of what we plan to do for the first pass.  Feel 
free to read the design doc (it is only a couple pages) and please leave 
remarks in the ticket with feedback/thoughts/findings!  To leave remarks 
in the ticket, you'll need a login on the htcondor-wiki which you can 
obtain by dropping an email to htcondor-admin@xxxxxxxxxxxx

Todd
