[vox] [fwd] SVLUG General Meeting: Systemd -- The Modern Linux init System You Will Learn to Love

[Bill Kendrick]

BTW, I've invited Alison to speak at LUGOD, and she's agreed to come
talk about systemd in May (assuming she isn't forced to reschedule
due to work).

In the meantime, you can see her speak tomorrow night in Mtn View.

   WHEN:

     Wednesday, January 7th, 2015
     7pm-9pm

   MAIN PRESENTATION

    TOPIC: Systemd -- The Modern Linux init System You Will Learn to Love

    PRESENTED BY:
    Alison Chaiken

    TOPIC SUMMARY:
      The controversial systemd has absorbed udev, and purported to replace
   syslog with the journal daemon. 
      Recent decisions by Debian and Ubuntu to adopt systemd assure its
   prominence as a Linux init system. 
      Users and sysadmins are predictably horrified. In fact, systemd is
   winning wide acceptance, our speaker says, 
      because it is simpler, easier to use, and better documented than its
   competition. 
      Chaiken will describe how to get started with systemd, discuss some
   problems with it, and perform some simple demos. Attendees should feel
   free to submit questions and diatribes in advance.
      This presentation will be co-sponsored by the Silicon Valley Linux
   Technology Meetup. 

    ABOUT THE PRESENTER:
       Alison Chaiken is a senior software engineer working in embedded Linux
   and middleware, and a longtime SVLUG member, 
      who has been our featured speaker twice before, and is always an
   eagerly anticipated speaker. 
      She was in the recent past a MeeGo Technical Consultant at Nokia
   Mobility Solutions, and describes herself as 'a recovering physicist', 
      who has computed primarily on Unix since the days of the VAX 11/750.
   Before her work at Nokia, she worked on pervasive computing projects at HP
   Labs, 
      then moved to Stanford Linear Accelerator Center to write instrument
   control and user interface software.

      Symantec
