I already have a python script processing mails received in the Calendar folder to get the ical event and push it to radicale. It has several drawbacks:
- It doesn't detect appointment changes (pretty easy to fix as each event has a unique ID)
- It doesn't detect deleted appointments. This would need to change the script to loop over the mails and already existing events in radicale to sync them.
- It's a one way script only: from GroupWise to Radicale, the other way still needs to be done.
For this project there are two ways to go and I am still unsure which one would be the best:
- Use the GroupWise SOAP API: that's what evolution connector used to do and it's only activated on some post offices.
- Continue the IMAP way: that would require to loop over the whole content of the Calendar folder regularly... is that slower than looping over the events via the SOAP API?
The code of the hackweek project is on github. The project has progressed a lot, but is still not finished. I ended up with:
- Reading the ical events from IMAP: less parsing work than SOAP and easy to get working
- Diffing iCalendar files
- Listing on the changes on a iCalendar file using pyinotify
- Writing a simple SOAP client in python to access the events to update / remove them (adding could work easily through SMTP)
- Attachments files are downloaded and properly linked from the events
What is missing:
- Getting the event ID in a not too time-consuming way using SOAP
- Convert from iCAL representation to the XML description used by the SOAP API
- Actually delete / update events
- Actually add events (may not got the SOAP way)

ehh pragmatic comment on the choice of imap or soap - not knowing the complexity of neither the one nor the other, but Groupwise components rather use soap between them (webaccess to postOffice)(datasynchroniser to postOffice) The knowledge in the GroupWise team - should you need help, may be more ready available on SOAP. Bear in mind that Datasynchroniser conains a number of connectors if there are other ways to pass in and out of groupwise: http://www.novell.com/documentation/datasync_connectors1/ (hmm i think they stripped a few connectors in the latest doc - not a good sign . . .

Bring to Cockpit + System Roles capabilities from YAST by miguelpc
Bring to Cockpit + System Roles features from YAST
Cockpit and System Roles have been added to SLES 16 There are several capabilities in YAST that are not yet present in Cockpit and System Roles We will follow the principle of "automate first, UI later" being System Roles the automation component and Cockpit the UI one.
Goals
The idea is to implement service configuration in System Roles and then add an UI to manage these in Cockpit. For some capabilities it will be required to have an specific Cockpit Module as they will interact with a reasource already configured.
Resources
A plan on capabilities missing and suggested implementation is available here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ZhX-Ip9MKJNeKSYV3bSZG4Qc5giuY7XSV0U61Ecu9lo/edit

Update M2Crypto by mcepl
There are couple of projects I work on, which need my attention and putting them to shape:
Goal for this Hackweek
- Put M2Crypto into better shape (most issues closed, all pull requests processed)
- More fun to learn jujutsu
- Play more with Gemini, how much it help (or not).
- Perhaps, also (just slightly related), help to fix vis to work with LuaJIT, particularly to make vis-lspc working.
Collection and organisation of information about Bulgarian schools by iivanov
Description
To achieve this it will be necessary:
- Collect/download raw data from various government and non-governmental organizations
- Clean up raw data and organise it in some kind database.
- Create tool to make queries easy.
- Or perhaps dump all data into AI and ask questions in natural language.
Goals
By selecting particular school information like this will be provided:
- School scores on national exams.
- School scores from the external evaluations exams.
- School town, municipality and region.
- Employment rate in a town or municipality.
- Average health of the population in the region.
Resources
Some of these are available only in bulgarian.

Results
- Information about all Bulgarian schools with their scores during recent years cleaned and organised into SQL tables
- Information about all Bulgarian villages, cities, municipalities and districts cleaned and organised into SQL tables
- Information about all Bulgarian villages and cities census since beginning of this century cleaned and organised into SQL tables.
- Information about all Bulgarian municipalities about religion, ethnicity cleaned and organised into SQL tables.
- Data successfully loaded to locally running Ollama with help to Vanna.AI
- Seems to be usable.

Improvements to osc (especially with regards to the Git workflow) by mcepl
Description
There is plenty of hacking on osc, where we could spent some fun time. I would like to see a solution for https://github.com/openSUSE/osc/issues/2006 (which is sufficiently non-serious, that it could be part of HackWeek project).
Enhance git-sha-verify: A tool to checkout validated git hashes by gpathak
Description
git-sha-verify is a simple shell utility to verify and checkout trusted git commits signed using GPG key. This tool helps ensure that only authorized or validated commit hashes are checked out from a git repository, supporting better code integrity and security within the workflow.
Supports:
- Verifying commit authenticity signed using gpg key
- Checking out trusted commits
Ideal for teams and projects where the integrity of git history is crucial.
Goals
A minimal python code of the shell script exists as a pull request.
The goal of this hackweek is to:
- DONE: Add more unit tests
- New and more tests can be added later
- New and more tests can be added later
- Partially DONE: Make the python code modular
- DONE: Add code coverage if possible
