Phoronix reports the systemd developers are having their first conference. Here is a direct link to the YouTube video channel.
Whether you love systemd or hate it, it looks like it's not going away. If you dislike it maybe one of these videos might change your mind.

Back in 2006, a lite version was spun off of MEPIS.
This became antiX (pronounced "Antiques").
In recent years, MEPIS' chief developer abandoned his distro and DistroWatch currently has it labeled Dormant.
Since then, the antiX guys have spun a distro that is bigger[1] than their own distro and which has a MEPIS legacy.
If you would like to try it, MX-15 Beta1 was just released.
MX-14 is also available.
Like antiX, MX uses sysVinit by default.
After installation, those who want systemd can find that in the repos.
[1] The antiX ISO can still fit on a 700MB CD.
(They tried a larger ISO once and got a bunch of complaints.)
antiX is compatible with Debian Testing repos.
