The Linux Users' Group of Davis (LUGOD) will be holding the following meeting:
Monday May 18, 2015 7:00pm - 9:00pm
Presentation: Systemd: The Modern Linux init System You Will Learn to Love presented by Alison Chaiken
The controversial "systemd" -- a suite of system management daemons, libraries, and utilities designed as a central management and configuration platform for the Linux computer operating system -- 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. Alison Chaiken will describe how to get started with systemd, discuss some problems with it, and perform some simple demos.
About the speaker:
Alison Chaiken is a senior software engineer at the Embedded Software Division of Mentor Graphics, working in embedded Linux and middleware. 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.
This meeting will be held at:
Yolo County Public Library, Mary L Stephens Davis Branch 315 East 14th Street Davis, CA 95616
