Title: systemd roundtable
Description:
There is general concensus that systemd is an important topic but we haven’t found a speaker to specifically present on systemd so instead we’ll be doing a systemd roundtable. The format will be a friendly discussion about the pros and cons of systemd and its political and technical impact on distributions that have migrated to it for the enlightenment of all. I’ll bring the projector along just in case someone needs it.
Greetings,
This is a rare announce post that isn't a meeting announcement - there is a general consensus in the IRC #nblug channel that we should do a talk on systemd but so far no one with experience has been able to come up with the free time to create a talk. Instead, I'd like to propose a friendly panel or roundtable discussion about the pros and cons of systemd for the June 9th meeting this coming Tuesday. If you'd be willing to participate on the panel, please send an E-Mail to speakers(a)nblug.org. We can even bribe panel participants with a free O'Reilly book if it helps.
Thanks for considering participating in a friendly discussion on systemd,
A.C.

President, NBLUG
