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.
Systemd conference -- you're going whether you want to or not.

Oh for fuck sakes, you neckbeards never give up, do you?
First off, it's not a conference at all. We're just putting a few hundred people into the same room and giving talks. Just because you think that's a conference doesn't make it one. It's actually a confluence, which is something completely different that we just made up right now.
Second, nobody's forcing you to go. We're just relocating your office there for the week. If you have a problem with that, take it up with your boss. We didn't force anyone to move; we only changed the location of the building you're presently occupying.
Third, it's not one conference at all. It's just a collection of independent sessions in which a sentence is started in one session
and finished in another. But they're complete
ly independent of one another.
And why do you hate Dear Lead—er, Lennart so much? I find his work inspiring, a triumph of the will... if you will. His Kamp—er, his struggle— has been an inspiration for everyone who loves the discipline and honour of coding in der recht*cough*sorry in the Right Way. It's merely historical necessity that you unterprogrammers must be dealt with. No mercy for the dirty hippies! You cannot continue harming the purity of the FatherCode! Hail SystemD! Lebensraum for SystemD!
