Port some classic game to Linuxa project by MDoucha Let's pick some old classic game, reverse engineer the data formats and game rules and write an open source engine for it from scratch. Some games from 1990s are simple enough that we could have a playable prototype by the end of the week. |
pacrunner for SUSE, and other proxy-related ideasan idea by mwilck I've got a small filtering proxy in our home LAN, used as a web filter for my kids. One most annoying mis-feature is that every time a Linux computer with a "modern" UI such as GNOME connects to the network, a popup window asks the user to enter "tickets" for my Fritz! box, although NM correctly sets up the proxy and net surfing is possible just fine. Currently the only workaround for this is to deactivate NM's "connectivity check" altogether. IMO that's not the right solution - if NM is able to detect and configure proxies for the system, it should also be able to use these proxy settings for its connectivity check. |
Modular maintenance and packaging of driversa project by mwilck We currently maintain all drivers in the SUSE kernel tree. While this is a well-established procedure, it also has a number of drawbacks in my opinion. I've been experimenting with a different model, tracking (so far, only one) driver in a separate git repository, and packaging it as kernel module package (KMP). This way of working fits my own mental model of code development better than the quilt style we employ in day-to-day driver maintenance. |
Developing IONIC based multiplatform app with REST API on openSUSEa project by varkoly The goal is to find a way for developing and simple testing an IONIC based multiplatform app with REST API on openSUSE. The focus is to find a way to secure token handling for SSO. |
Bluetooth audioa project by mwilck I'm hearing impaired. Where others have no issues following talks or dicussions, I often fail even grasp the bottom line what it's about. I've got hearing aids, but they help only so much. I also have an add-on device for my hearing aids that acts like a bluetooth headset. Unfortunately, making this thing work under my Linux desktop has been an ongoing, frustrating struggle. On the contrary, it works flawlessly with Android devices of different generations, and even with my lowly Gigaset phone. Actually, the thing works better with older kernels/Linux versions than with current TW. |

Finish my home-made 3D printera project by ilausuch I started 3 years ago creating a CNC, but soon last past 6 monts I realized that I could use it as a 3D printer. The software was good enough, the hardware and firmware had evolved. And now I could print 200x200x300 pieces with 0.1mm precision. |
Geeky clock face for Fitbit Versa 2an idea by joadavis I recently got a Fitbit Versa 2 smartwatch (thank you wellness incentive) and found there was a clock face that looked like a Linux prompt. Which got me thinking about creating my own. The dev.fitbit.com site looks helpful and worth following their quick tutorial. Mix in a SUSE logo and a tail that curls/uncurls with the seconds and it may become a great way to show off some nerdiness. |
A CI/CD approach for Solid Grounda project by vstsironis Solid Ground is an essential software tool for the daily tasks of an L3 agent.

Tool to help diagnosing stalling systema project by jankara Diagnosing issues with stalling desktop application (or a whole desktop environment) is difficult these days as the application often requires multiple processes interconnected with sockets, pipes, futexes, etc. to work and often it is not clear which process is the one responsible for blocking the whole ecosystem. The idea of this project is to write a tool that gathers information about processes in the system and for each process that is sleeping display the resource (file, socket, futex) it is waiting on as well as the process that is likely responsible for unblocking (feeding pipe, sending data to socket, unlock futex, ...). Once the information is gathered, we can also plot it for graphical displaying with tools like graphviz. |

Rewrite transactional-update in C++a project by fos transactional-update, the application to update read-only systems such as openSUSE MicroOS and openSUSE Kubic and the Transactional Server installations of openSUSE Leap, openSUSE Tumbleweed and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, evolved from a POC to a fully fledged solution - and is currently completely written in Bash. This has been working really well in the past, but is gradually reaching its limits, especially when thinking about supporting additional file systems or ports to other Linux distributions - yes, we have a huge interest in other distributions adopting our technology. |

Smart tool to show current K8s network performancean idea by mosquetero How cool would be it if a Sales Engineer could run a tool in the customer's site that measures the network performance to demonstrate how fast our K8s platform is? What if the customer could do that herself/himself to provide useful information to our support team in order to find the source of a bug? What about using such tool for our CI to discover potential performance regressions? What if the tool was smart enough to change configurations on the fly and run optional tests based on the measurements it collects? It is obvious there is a wide variety of use cases where we could benefit from such tool. |
libuitest - a generic GUI testing librarya project by dancermak Testing GUIs is hard: unit tests require a tremendous amount of mocking and often don't capture the exact user input anyway, integration tests on the other hand are difficult to setup as they often require a dedicated infrastructure with virtual machines. |

Hammer an Envoy service mesh onto a SAP S4/HANA landscape and watch everything explode.a project by STorresi Although CNCF projects are almost exclusively related to Linux containers, some ideas, like wrapping all the services into network proxies to create a distributed data-plane and enable true observability, could perhaps be explored for some kind of backport in complex legacy distributed systems, like... say... S4/HANA?! |

Fix order of use co-operation between vlc and camsource applicationsa project by dmair Using the camsource and vlc packages as an example. If camsource is configured to use a given dev/video[n] device with a choice of resolution in the width and height fields of a camsource conf file then if camsource is the first application to access the device captured images are as-expected. However, if an application like vlc is used for the same device (and exited) before starting camsource (e.g. to check the view from the camera before starting camsource) and if the camera supports higher resolutions than used in the camsource configuration what occurs is that camsource will not setup the camera to use the configured resolution and has a broken view of the camera output based on the vlc chosen resolution chopped to the camsource configuration. For example, with camsource configuration set to use 640x480 on a camera that supports 720x480 and vlc is used and exited before camsource is started then the captured camsource images contain two non-continuous partial image blocks with a horizontal border dividing them. I assume either vlc fails to fully reset the device configuration when exiting or camsource fails to initialize the device "from scratch" when starting. The two applications use different video device APIs but the setup and cleanup for the camera in each case is a very limited part of the application's functionality. |
Advanced online payment app for desktopan idea by MDoucha There are mobile payment apps which allow you to pay via QR code. But I couldn't find any app that would work on desktop e.g. via special URI. So here's my idea: |
dmidecode: no more open-coded printfsa project by jdelvare There's a long standing request to extend the output of dmidecode to something that would be machine-readable. Something like an XML or JSON-based format. Unfortunately this can't be implemented right now because the output of dmidecode is generated by open-coded printfs as the DMI table is being parsed, with no intermediate structures nor temporary buffers. |

Focus Friendly Desktop Adaptationsa project by wstephenson BackgroundGiven the number of different demands on our time and attention, it becomes increasing hard to focus and find the 'flow state' where a developer can be most productive. Interruptions due to chat notifications, email, and updater applets all break focus. Additionally, the desktop metaphor has in most cases failed to evolve as the browser and other MDI interfaces have become the focus for many users, and increased performance has allowed us to keep more tasks running and present on the desktop at once, presenting a higher cognitive load to the user. |

ocfs2: use iomapan idea by goldwynr iomap is a way to map file blocks to the device. Many filesystems such as xfs, ext4 or gfs2, use this common code to perform buffered and direct I/O. The advantage would be smaller codebase in individual filesystem code (ocfs2), lesser defects and better maintainability. |
HelenOS: <filesystem> of a downa project by jjindrak During the previous Hackweek [0], I have successfully implemented, tested and merged [1] an implementation of the entire C++ standard header . This time, my aim is to modernize the C++14-esque standard library [2] of HelenOS [3][4] with a C++17 feature - the header. The header is much larger than the header which I barely managed to implement and test in the allocated time for the previous Hackweek, but was mostly OS-independent as it relied only on previously implemented features of the standard library. The header, however, is limited by the filesystem API of the OS and as such implementing of the entirety of it might not be possible, limiting the scope of the project (which is a good thing due to the time constraints). |
