[Eg-newdevs] Developing Evergreen with a Docker container companion

[Terran McCanna]

Thanks, Blake! I'll work on getting this added to the New Devs wiki. Any
chance you'd be available at 3pm Eastern next Wednesday the 19th to
demonstrate for the New Devs meeting (we could record the demo at that
point, too, if you'd be okay with that).
