systemd.conf 2015 is Over Now!

Last week our first systemd.conf conference took place at betahaus, in Berlin, Germany. With almost 100 attendees, a dense schedule of 23 high-quality talks stuffed into a single track on just two days, a productive hackfest and numerous consumed Club-Mates I believe it was quite a success!

If you couldn't attend the conference, you may watch all talks on our YouTube Channel. The slides are available online, too.

Many photos from the conference are available on the Google Events Page. Enjoy!

I'd specifically like to thank Daniel Mack, Chris Kühl and Nils Magnus for running the conference, and making sure that it worked out as smoothly as it did! Thank you very much, you did a fantastic job!

I'd also specifically like to thank the CCC Video Operation Center folks for the excellent video coverage of the conference. Not only did they implement a live-stream for the entire talks part of the conference, but also cut and uploaded videos of all talks to our YouTube Channel within the same day (in fact, within a few hours after the talks finished). That's quite an impressive feat!

The folks from LinuxTag e.V. put a lot of time and energy in the organization. It was great to see how well this all worked out! Excellent work!

(BTW, LinuxTag e.V. and the CCC Video Operation Center folks are willing to help with the organization of Free Software community events in Germany (and Europe?). Hence, if you need an entity that can do the financial work and other stuff for your Free Software project's conference, consider pinging LinuxTag, they might be willing to help. Similar, if you are organizing such an event and are thinking about providing video coverage, consider pinging the the CCC VOC folks! Both of them get our best recommendations!)

I'd also like to thank our conference sponsors! Specifically, we'd like to thank our Gold Sponsors Red Hat and CoreOS for their support. We'd also like to thank our Silver Sponsor Codethink, and our Bronze Sponsors Pengutronix, Pantheon, Collabora, Endocode, the Linux Foundation, Samsung and Travelping, as well as our Cooperation Partners LinuxTag and kinvolk.io, and our Media Partner Golem.de.

Last but not least I'd really like to thank our speakers and attendees for presenting and participating in the conference. Of course, the conference we put together specifically for you, and we really hope you had as much fun at it as we did!

Thank you all for attending, supporting, and organizing systemd.conf 2015! We are looking forward to seeing you and working with you again at systemd.conf 2016!

Thanks!
