Au revoir, from Aurélie

by Aurélie Soulier.  

Dear Moodlers,

Happy New Year! I wish all of you, all over the world, a fantastic year ahead, filled with success, happiness, and countless moments of joy with Moodle.

As I prepare to conclude my journey as the Community Engagement Lead for Moodle HQ on Wednesday, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude to my amazing team and to every one of you.

While my focus will soon shift to a role outside the Moodle sphere, my connection to the Moodle community remains strong. I intend to stay engaged in various Moodle-based activities in my free time. I’ll remain a member of the MUA and moodle.org, take part in the PAG, as well as continue work on a personal project (involving user tours) that I’m eager to continue.

I also want to share the exciting news that Olga Koenig will be taking over my role as the new Community Sites Manager. I have every confidence that Olga, leading the Community sites team, will continue to strengthen the community and uphold the values that make Moodle such a great project.

Thank you all for your support, dedication, and commitment to the Moodle project. Your contributions and collaboration are what make this global community so vibrant and impactful. It’s your passion and commitment that make Moodle what it is today and what it becomes tomorrow. 

Best wishes, and much Moodle love to all!

Aurélie
Community Engagement Lead, Moodle HQ

P.S: I leave you with this Scottish song which traditionally marks the new year, but also refers to friends who recall the good old times. It resonates especially as I will keep my last 15 months at Moodle HQ, and the people I met along the way, a dear memory, and hope to see many of you again soon.
‘Ce n’est qu’un au revoir.’

For old acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
Should old acquaintance be forgot
In the days of auld lang syne?

systemd through the eyes of a musl distribution maintainer

by
systemd, as a service manager, is not actually a bad piece of software by itself. The fact it can act as both a service manager and an inetd(8) replacement is really cool. The unit file format is very nice and expressive. Defining mechanism and leaving policy to the administrator is a good design. Of course, nothing exists in a vacuum. I don’t like the encouragement to link daemons to libsystemd for better integration – all of the useful integrations can be done with more portable measures. And I really don’t like the fact they consider glibc to be “the Linux API” when musl, Bionic, and other libcs exist. I’d like to dive into detail on the good and the bad of systemd, as seen through my eyes as all of: end user, administrator, and developer. ↫ awilfox awilfox is a maintainer of Adélie Linux, which does not use systemd, but this blog post is one of the few reasonable, well-written, and substantiated critiques of systemd – as opposed to the usual mindless screeching you usually hear about systemd. A great read.
