Lennart Poettering Announces the First Systemd Conference
jones_supa writes: Lennart Poettering, the creator of the controversial init system and service manager for Linux-based operating systems has announced the first systemd conference. The systemd.conf will take place November 5-7, in Berlin, Germany. systemd developers and hackers, DevOps professionals, and Linux distribution packagers will be able to attend various workshops, as well as to collaborate with their fellow developers and plan the future of the project. Attendees will also be able to participate in an extended hackfest event, as well as numerous presentations held by important names in the systemd project, including Poettering himself.
Nobody needs it.

How can I believe you when you tell me what I don't want to hear?
If a startup management subsystem needs its own conference, it is doing too much.
Bombarding every systemd story with 200 "f**** systemd is worthless shit and so are its a***** creators" worked out real good, didn't it?
Learn from your mistakes.
You are all cows. Cows say moo. MOOOOOOOOO! MOOOOOOOOO! Moo cows MOOOOOOOO! Moo say the cows. YOU COWS!!
Let's put those useless asswipes to good use! Convince them that men like SystemD and they'll get that shit shut down so fast your head will spin!
The least amusing city in the world. On a side note I can't wait until they introduce a great new feature called registry.dat. A central binary configuration file.

Is there a 'free speech zone' where we can go to protest?
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
It's for systemd developers, DevOps, and distro makers.
Of those, I've asked around, and I haven't found any DevOps people who like systemd. It just doesn't fit what they want to do. Distro makers, on the other hand, seem to be the ones who really like systemd (mainly because it saves typing in startup scripts). They're the ones who pushed to get it included in their system.
And of course the systemd developers like systemd.
"First they came for the slanderers and i said nothing."
And the Stormtroopers that will take out the systemd devs will actually be able to hit their targets!
Well, we can hope, can't we?
where is the cure?
... you HAVE to go.
You mean that 86MB binary that contains the registry?
Haha only joking because that'd be like a grep conference and who needs a junket for a small tool that does one thing well?
Lennart Poettering Announces the First Systemd Conference
That stupid thing hasn't collapsed under its own weight yet?
Two utilities that are much more important then systemD. I really try to. if not like systemd, at least get along with it. yet the more time goes by the more negative my opinion gets. It really reminds me off all the problems we went through with pulseaudio.
We are systemd. Lower your MBR protection and surrender your init system. We will add your daemons, libraries, and utilities to our own. Your code will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

all we need is a nice little bomb... We know when and where they will be - take out their leaders and we can move on to something useful!
Attending that place that time may be a form of suicide.
Are you still living in the dark ages?
The comments on here, a classic example of just how badly slashdot has gone to the shits ..
I'm glad systemd came along - I'm loving eudev and openrc - sub 8 second boot time to X no lockups and easy to maintain and reconfigure how I want my system to work (not how some other person thinks it should...) On modern hardware I could install (compile) qt and qt-creator in half the time it took a windows system to download and install binaries... Go figure!
So thank you systemd for getting me away from lazy privacy stealing Ubuntu and onto something far superior...
By gathering, they're much more vulnerable.
Now it includes its own conference? Will the bloat never end?!
It seems to me that a systemd conference wouldn't be much different from a BDSM convention.
Bitchfest 2015? oh wait I run a system without systemd by user choice and plan to stay that way, hugs his Slackware servers. enjoy that conference of conformity and obedience.and I must be in a good mood I didn't go for the obvious pun based on WHERE the conference is being held.
Most resistance seems to be the general allergy to things that are new and different. To assume that Lennart Poettering is unable and did not set out to make something better, is arrogant to say the least. People simply dislike change, and we see have seen this in computing so many times before, but eventually they come around.
It wouldn't be complete without a keynote fronte Miguel De Icaza on "integrating systemd with Mono" I guess...
Is now part of systemD's next release. So is the hotel/restaurant reservation system.
Systemd isn't really a startup management subsystem. It's a full blown service manager.
In that case I'd rather switch to AIX's System Resource Controller instead ... all the key architecture changes of systemd but SRC has 20 years of proven use in production Unix systems.

Does it make me an evil person hoping a very small and precisely targeted asteroid hits the convention center at that time?
@QuietLagoon: "If a startup management subsystem needs its own conference, it is doing too much." ref
That has to be the dumbest statement I have read on any technical forum - ever !
I suppose if he didn't organize a conference, people like you would complain that he was dictating to Linux developers.
I rarely see comment threads this single-opinion, especially outside threads regarding redmond. I'm really impressed by the work systemd has done to unify all ACs and account holders, all trolls, all Karma: excellent posters, to one voice that says:
FUCK OFF
That's like naming a software project OpenOffice.org. It's just asking for some level of confusion just to be cute (okay, oo.org was an attempt to alleviate confusion about .org vs .com domain name, but you get my drift). Call it what it is: the Great systemd Con.
Brings new users to FreeBSD and in a while the developers will have figured out something similar for FreeBSD that actually works.
Windows 2000 - from the guys who brought us edlin
systemd has proven itself to be the best init system for FreeBSD.
The use of systemd by default in Debian, along with pretty much every other major Linux distro (sorry, Slackware, you're a relic; Gentoo, you're impractical) has driven away the best Linux admins and developers there are.
These are the men and women who run important servers that must fully boot each and every time. They're the people who develop critical software that always needs to work. The kinds of bugs that systemd has shown to have just aren't acceptable for these users.
After seeing the quality standards of so many Linux distros drop to unacceptable levels all thanks to systemd, these people have been forced to find better alternatives.
FreeBSD, and to a lesser extent OpenBSD, have been where they've fled. These are robust systems that are often equal in capability to Linux, but with much greater stability, and a team of developers who have their priorities straight. They will not compromise their software like so many Linux distros have done.
FreeBSD now boasts some of the best sysadmins and users among its ranks. It's seeing more and more use by people who know what they're doing, and who are doing very demanding work.
The future is brighter than ever for FreeBSD, while the future is looking dimmer and dimmer for Linux. It didn't have to be this way; Linux would still be a perfectly fine option for these users, had so many distros not been infected by systemd.
Historians will note that it wasn't Microsoft or SCO or any other external attacker that destroyed Linux. The Linux distros destroyed themselves, and their usability, by including systemd.
They'll let you set up your booth and start selling your wares, but out of nowhere they'll just up and take over, thinking they can sell your pop and water better.
Feed the need: Digitaladdiction.net
There will be a bonfire where media with non systemd distributions are thrown into the fire and a ceremony where everyone MAY pledge their allegiance to "the leader" Lennart. Next year perhaps they will bust out the windows of people not using systemd and round them up.
When Ubuntu pushed their last version (in the spring) it was the lone default and you couldn't go back, and I still have error messages written down all over about how systemd is broken here, and then there and everywhere else. I'm still trying to get those three weeks of my life back (before I switched to mint). I'm not a 'hater', I'm just someone who wants things that work. Its not better if it doesn't work. "Failed to load kernel modules. See "systemdctl" status systemd-modules-load-service" for details." and "Systemd failed to start user service /var/log/mount/s64/n/dhcp" and "systemd failed to start user service: unnown unit: user@0.service" aren't 'working' imho. If it doesn't work, then don't force people to use it. If your crap breaks my computer, I get angry. Its not you, its your crap software. If you complain about me, then I get angry at you. What we had before, *WORKED*. And not just sometimes, but *ALL THE TIME*. Systemd breaks, and then the lazy butt holes developing it don't fix it, but instead blame users for their garbage software. If it worked, I would use it. The last time I tried it, it was broken. The thing I *really* don't like is that they are forcing everyone to adopt their stuff, even though its *still broken*.
So Systemd is so complicated it needs a conference... That should be a point of shame for an init system not something to be proud of...
By comparison, because the FreeBSD base install is so bare, and because the ports collection has to be installed by compiling from source
Freebsd does have "pkg" system (by default, out of the box and for at least 20(!) years) that downloads binary packages from internet or local media and handle all dependencies.
Just type:
pkg install firefox blackbox gnugo xchess pidgin
and voila! Binary packages are downloaded from internet and installed in just few seconds, with all dependencies. No need for compiler.
I've been doing software development over many years and in many capacities. One of the hard earned lessons from that is: always use text logs and configuration files in some type of XML-like extensible tag format. If space gets to be an issue, archive old logs using a standard compression package.
Every time I made this choice programmers would complain about the waste of space, until the first real big crash happened, everything was unusable, yet the logs could still be grep'ed and the error easily found. This is the first time they would see the benefits.
The second was when new fields were added, yet the old log libraries still worked. They would simply not read the unknown tags but could still process known ones.
The critical question that must be asked is, "Is systemd webscale?"

'I need you to prevent something horrible from happening in the future, Steve.' He then nodded at the TV. There was a game on and along the bottom of the screen was a stock ticker. After reading from his tablet for a moment he said, 'Jackson is gonna score on a third-down pass in a minute.'
We watched three plays and sure enough, he was right. He proceeded to call the next series exactly. 'Nice trick.' I said, 'But this broadcast must be delayed.'
'That stock ticker isn't though, is it? Check your timepiece. The market closes in ten minutes.' He then showed me the closing price for both exchanges and bought me another stout.
It must have been a wild day on Wall Street because prices were feverishly swinging up and down. But he got the final numbers, right down to the penny. 'I'm from the future.' he said.
Now you hear all sorts of crazy talk at the Z-80 Lounge. And San Francisco IS the golden cultural capital in the hearts of hippie hackers everywhere. So I figured he hacked my tablet. "You have to stop it. It's called system..." But just then, a big hand clamped over his mouth and two big guys in suits grabbed him and dragged him out so I never knew until now what he was talking about.
Sorry.
Fifty years of Yippie! 1968-2018
I thought it was part of the philosophy - you're free to inspect, modify, and re-distribute the code....so why is it now a bad thing for there to be lots of options for users to choose from?
You're absolutely right about the documentation.
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
That's the problem: in practice, users don't have a choice.
If I want to set up a Debian 8 system, giving it a reasonable amount of effort and within a reasonable period of time, then I'm forced into using systemd.
Sure, in theory I could potentially waste a whole lot of my time and expend a whole lot of energy trying to use Debian 8 with some other init system.
But that defeats the whole purpose of using a Linux distro!
A Linux distro is supposed to provide a coherent package that works right away.
I don't want to have to redevelop and test an entire Linux distro from scratch just to be able to use a reasonable init system.
It's actually easier for me to use some other operating system that doesn't use systemd by default.
Personally, I prefer DragonFly BSD.
Based on this discussion, other people say they like FreeBSD.
But whatever operating system people choose, the important thing to remember is that Linux users are being forced out because choice is being taken away from them.
Care to really quantify that, based on real experience? Here's my ha'p'orth.
Linux kernel: You get the source and quite a lot of info on what each option does in menuconfig or whatever. ...... blimey the list goes on and on and on. Anyway they all have really good docs and a massive support organisation.
Mailer daemons (for example): Postfix, Exim and Sendmail are very well documented, have excellent mailing lists. Masses of examples across the web and shed loads of forums and postings
Samba, BIND, KDE, Gnome, Apache, nginx, HA Proxy, Elastic Search, Hadoop, Postgres, MariaDB, libvirtd, Xorg, NetworkManager, FreeCAD, LibreCAD, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Evolution, Krita, Scribus
Do you really think that a distro needs to do anymore than note down what they do that is "different"?
I think any systemd related slashdot article ought to come with a number or time limit for anonymous coward posts. They all just seem to rile themselves up to ad homs and then talk of death and misery and then it just upends the whole conversation.
I admit I enjoy wordplay like systemd.conf, but since systemd uses binary log files shouldn't the conference be called systemd.bin?
He's just trolling the Linux community now isn't he?
Programmers love to create, but they hate to maintain...
Clearly the answer is to split every distro in two allowing people the choice of SysVinit and Systemd :-)
Meanwhile FreeBSD has done some seriously boneheaded things, readily apparent to the knowledgeable but not so much to the linux refugee, showing that the perception of stability is more perception than reality.
For example, in particular the pkgng clusterfuck screwed over some long term deployments something fierce, with the developers shipping immature product with a bad case of second system effect and wilfully trampling old deployments by deliberately breaking the previous system even for older releases, all the while insisting that everyone should have upgraded already so there cannot possibly be a problem and if there is it must be your own fault. You won't run into any of that when you can "just" install everything from scratch (eg. when it's your first installation), but this situation is no good if you need to carefully upgrade a critical production farm. In fact, somebody spent weeks unfucking the deliberate fucking up, creating their own separate ports tree, just to be able to continue supporting their own production server farm. All they got from the core devs was hostility. There is much more, though. Shipping with a broken scons in the face of kms --thanks for that bit of idiocy, linux-- and then again shipping with a subtly broken replacement in the form of of the still wet behind the ears vt, are but a few more examples.
I'm still inclined to believe FreeBSD is a better proposition than linux-with-systemd, but with them inexorably moving to launchd whether anybody wants this or not, along with a number of other developments, the upshot is getting ever more minute.
The point? Quite simply that while systemd is the bottom of the barrel, the rest isn't so great either. There is a lot to be done, amazingly much less in the form of writing code and much more in figuring out software stability and attitudes toward release engineering. In fact, too few people even realise the extent of what needs to be done, what attitudes need to change, what software reliability and release engineering is supposed to mean, and so on, and so forth. In fact, for the moment it very much looks like poettering is infecting the rest, even outside "linux", not merely with his crapware, but even more with his rotten attitudes and his virulently poor form.
So? Some of the best posts, on every topic, are from ACs. As long as they're not flogging h*st f*les, I say let 'em post! If it's just because you don't like their opinion, well, this is the Internet.
Clearly the answer is to split every distro in two allowing people the choice of SysVinit and Systemd :-)
Or 3. SysVInit, Systemd without the excess baggage, and Systemd as we presently must suffer under it.
Right next to the Wayland display.
I don't want to have to redevelop and test an entire Linux distro from scratch just to be able to use a reasonable init system.
It seems, that you never actually tried to change an init system on any os or distro.
forced out because choice is being taken away from them.
The only force here is your ignorance.
It's a fact that systemd proponents abuse moderation to support systemd. It is my assumption that they do this because they know systemd is shit, and that they are shit, and they can't handle the scrutiny.

Oh yeah, because sysvinit will take a lot of work porting to...I guess in the last 20 years we lived in some alternate reality.
The classical UNIX philosophy is one daemon one goal, perfectly implemented, fully secured and full documented. Systemd breaks this view and takes the windows 7 and before concept. We know that results of this second philosophy: One software that does everything, using a quick and dirty implementation, with an incomplete, and erroneous documentation, and the security is done in a fully procrastination way... Are you sure that systemd can really escape this second philosophy? In my opinion it can’t. I’m still using the slackware distribution, and I hope they will stay away from systemd.
Wait ! Some guy in Berlin has successfully made a Coup to force something onto millions that do not want nor need it ? !
Has anybody seen Lennart Poettering and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble in the same room at the same time ? If not, we would have to recon that Dr Poettering and Mr Schäuble might be two parts of the same person... And that would explain a lot...
If you really care to see this get off of the ground, you need to "put your money where your mouth is", and become deeply involved. Complaining about systemd won't do anything. Nurturing Devuan into a useable alternative will make a difference.

You're either trolling or you've genuinely no idea how systemd actually works.
You're either trolling or you've genuinely no idea how Debian actually works.
Those are the commands needed to convert a Debian Jessie system with pid 1 == /lib/systemd/systemd to a Debian Jessie system with pid 1 == /sbin/init and the sysvinit scripts.
Replacing sysvinit with upstart is left as an exercise for the reader.
Watch this Heartland Institute video
Maybe we should organize a conference for advocates of Poettering-free Linux systems?
There appears to be quite a large group of Linux users/admins who see Poettering as the plague for Linux, and it is time to define a different direction.
He is trolling. He is one of the appointed systemd representatives in slashdot. No need to even stick to anything close to the facts, just call all critics "haters", refuse to accept any argument, and claim that systemd and pulseaudio are perfect works emanated directly from the Dear Leader's brilliant mind, the best programmer ever!
You can probably identify at least two or three other of his aliases in this same story...

Your premise about systemd is already wrong from the start, because you don't even know what you're talking about. No wonder then that everything else you say is plain wrong.
systemd has nothing to do with Windows 7 and before, it's based on Linux specific kernel features, so you mean Linux takes Windows 7 and before concepts?
systemd opponents love making fools of themselves, it's pathetic really. Don't you know the systemd proponents are mostly proficient people, not stupid enough to believe such nonsense?
What is this man plotting? Is he working for NSA? By committing a genuine code, they can have different plans. We need that old system. Eudev,uselessd - what happened to those projects?
