Get rust into Tumbleweed
a project by KGronlund
With rust 1.9 released, it should be possible to from now on bootstrap rustc from the previous version of rustc (so 1.10 can be built using 1.9 etc.). This means that it should now be possible to create a rustc package which no longer needs binary snapshots to build, meaning that we might even be able to submit rustc for inclusion in openSUSE Tumbleweed. This is the first goal.
Packaging cleanup in HA

Compare to DRBD8, new released DRBD9 improved the capability and user cases on HA and CLOUD environment, also improve the performance. drbdmanage is a new management approach of DRBD9, aim to establish drbd environment in a C/S way, which is easy for deploy on CLOUD environment. We only build it in obs, now i can introduce it on the latest SLE product.
supportconfig database
an invention by leonardocf
The supportconfig utility is used by support teams to collect all information needed to troubleshoot a system in one shot. The objective of this project is to create a central repository of supportconfig tarballs. To do so, we're going to develop a set of tools to automatically fetch tarballs from known sources, parse the information, import the useful parts into an SQL database and expose it in a Web front-end where users can run some simple queries.
Use linear programming for the partitioning proposal
an idea by ancorgs
The YaST team is rewriting yast2-storage. That includes new shiny code for the storage proposal during installation. It calculates what partitions and/or volumes need to be created to allocate the system and finds the best way to create those partitions in the existing free spaces. The second part becomes more complicated than it looks as soon as you start considering the restrictions imposed by each volumes and by the technology (primary vs logical partitions, for example). Right now, the problem is solved by brute force. All the possible distributions of partitions and LVM physical volumes are considered and the best one (according to several simple criteria) is chosen.

Research telemetry for (open)SUSE products
an idea by dmacvicar
Most of design is done still with a embarrassing amount of data. Having released software for decades, we still don't know exactly what module is the most used, what workflows the customers are following, where do customers fail. It is all guesses and opinions. The idea of this project is to research:
crash-python
a project by jeff_mahoney
New Development In previous hack weeks, the first few days ended up being wasted on just getting it working. I'm pleased to share that the code quality has improved dramatically since the last hack week and there are now extensive test cases for both unit testing and testing against real vmcores, and we'll use both mypy and pylint (if installed) to perform static analysis. Packages for those are available in openSUSE or as part of the crash-python OBS repo for SLE15. It has been tested with kernels from 3.0 to 5.1.

Imagine playing rock-paper-scissors via phone only. libTMCG is an implementation of the protocol and SecureSkat is an application of this protocol/library to the popular German card game Skat.
Tools to make keysigning fun again (replacement for caff)
an idea by kbabioch
There is a tool called caff, which is the de-facto standard when dealing with keysigning (on a large scale, e.g. after a key signing party). This tool hasn't been touch in years, is written and configured in Perl (hence cannot be read and/or maintained :smile:) and is not easy to package, because of a lot of dependencies, etc. It is not even available in our default repositories (at least for Tumbleweed). In general there seems to be a certain kind of frustration with this software, but there is no real alternative available yet. Ideally the new toolset should allow to organize a complete keysigning party, e.g. it should assist the organizer with:

L3: Improve crash-setup, develop a core-setup
a project by sparschauer
The current crash-setup source is located here.
Pretty much is working nicely but it doesn't care for the debug source making it impossible to use the crash> gdb list *<symbol> command right away. This is bug 997558 which should be worked on.

File system block allocation algorithms comparison and analysis
a project by ganghe
In the past, some customers ever complained that OCFS2 file system performance went down when listing a big directory (e.g. include 400k files). According to my preliminary investigation, this performance problem is related to file system block allocation algorithm. Then, I want to look at the current mainstream file systems (e.g. EXT4, XFS, etc) block allocation algorithms in this hack week, compare and analysis these algorithms advantages/disadvantages.

Jitsi for Hackweek
a project by rsimai
Primarily to support Hackweek, but also to gain experience for a potential future corporate use, I like to run the open source Jitsi in a SUSE context and within a setup that is close to what SUSE IT is doing. The service will be built in AWS/EKS within the SUSE E&I space and should be up and running on day 1, but will need love during the 5 Hackweek days to
Near-zero downtime upgrades for stateful services with Rancher
an idea by mlnoga
Project Description
Containers are great for scaling stateless services and making them robust. However, stateful services like databases continue to pose challenges. In particular, upgrading a running database service to a new version with near zero downtime is not trivial. Wouldn't it be great if a helm chart or K8S operator could automatically take care of this for you? This would allow you to fire up a database in your K8S cluster and consume it as-a-service. And put us one step closer to building a private cloud that runs anywhere, powered by pure open source.

It uses the supervision to manage long running programs (deamons), log everything to files (no binary log interface) and provides an easy to use command line interface. rinit is already working and able to spawn services and handle their dependencies.
TeX macros for a puzzle game
a project by mcalabkova
Motivation
There is plenty of puzzle games (see Šifrovačky.cz), but currently none designed for children. With my husband we are thinking of starting/reviving one and creation of a fine typesetting system is one of the preliminary steps. The macros could also be used by other puzzle games in need of a new typesetting system (I could publish them if I liked my work).
Audio steganography for music digital signatures
an idea by shawnhao
Project Description
There are lots of indie musicians who are not very aware of protecting their copyright and it is hard to determine plagiarism in music. I believe a digital signature could be useful to present copyright on court without damaging and altering the soundings of a song. But I am also aware that a signature alone may not be sufficient to protect copyrights and it is able to bypass it.

Use a container storage to store the OS system root
a project by dcassany
Project Description
Store the OS root-tree on a container storage. The idea is to build a minimal golang tool capable to init a container storage to a custom location, store remote OCI images in there and mount them into a custom mountpoint. Next step is to craft a dracut based initrd including such a tool to mount the OS at boot. Finally, craft a disk with an EFI partition including the kernel, initrd and systemd-boot.

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. Write which games you'd like to hack on in the comments. Don't forget to check e.g. on Open Source Game Clones, Github and SourceForge whether the game is ported already.
How software creation process can save energy and CO2 emissions
