Also known as: Poettering
Lennart Poettering created PulseAudio (2004), Avahi (2004), and, in 2010 with Kay Sievers at Red Hat, systemd — the init-and-service-manager that has replaced SysV init on nearly every major Linux distribution.
systemd's scope now covers boot, services, logging, networking, DNS resolution, device management, user sessions, and containers.
