Thanks to the funding from FUDCON I had the chance to attend and
keynote at the combined FUDCON Beijing 2014
and GNOME.Asia 2014 conference in
Beijing, China.

My talk was about systemd’s present and future, what we achieved
and where we are going. In my talk I tried to explain a bit where we
are coming from, and how we changed focus from being purely an init
system, to more being a set of basic building blocks to build an OS
from. Most of the talk I talked about where we still intend to take
systemd, which areas we believe should be covered by systemd, and of
course, also the always difficult question, on where to draw the line
and what clearly is outside of the focus of systemd. The slides of my
talk you find
online. (No video recording I am aware of, sorry.)

The combined conferences were a lot of fun, and as usual, the best
discussions I had in the hallway track, discussing Linux and
systemd.

A number of pictures of the conference are now
online. Enjoy!

After the conference I stayed for a few more days in Beijing, doing
a bit of sightseeing. What a fantastic city! The food was amazing, we
tried all kinds of fantastic stuff, from Peking duck, to Bullfrog
Sechuan style. Yummy. And one of those days I am sure I will find the
time to actually sort my photos and put them online, too.

I am really looking forward to the next FUDCON/GNOME.Asia!
