Sessions
Same as every year, a lot has happened in the systemd project since last year's
ASG. We released multiple versions, packed with new components and features.
This talk will provide an overview of these changes, commenting on successes and
challenges, and a sneak peak at what lies ahead.
Let's have an open discussion with systemd developers who are at ASG and users in the audience. We will open with the developers saying what they plan to work on in the near future, and then allow questions / comments from the audience.
More than six months have passed since Daan tried to shame gently peer pressure Lennart to actually use the stuff he builds, via a FOSDEM talk:
https://fosdem.org/2025/schedule/event/fosdem-2025-4057-particleos-can-we-make-lennart-poettering-run-an-image-based-distribution-/
Did he succeed? Is dogfooding standard practice now in the systemd development process? Or do things like randomly breaking logging in GNOME (cough) still happen from time to time? Join us for this talk to find out, and to apply yet more peer pressure.
We will also spend some time talking about more boring and mundane topics, such as giving an overview of the current status of ParticleOS, and how we build it as a ready-to-consume and secure-by-default signed and self-enrolling appliance on the SUSE Open Build Service.
