Description
The RC0 release is out since the last hackweek see GFXprim pages. From that point 187 patches with various fixes, new features and new tests went in. New features includes support for various file formats, fixes and enhancements in python bindings, speedups, CMYK support, better documentation and more. Now it's about the time for RC1.
Gfxprim is simple modular 2D bitmap graphics library with emphasis on speed and correctness.
One of the key points of the library is meta-programming. Most of the operations and filters are written in Jinja templating language that is used to generate specialized code in C programming language. Creating code that works with less usual pixel types should be as easy as adding pixel definition into the configuration and rebuilding the library.
Some of the features are:
- Supports loading and saving most of the image formats (PNG, JPG, BMP, TIFF, PNM; loading only: PSP, GIF, JPEG2000, CBZ, ...)
- Can draw lines/circles/polygons (anti aliased drawing is being worked on)
- Has image filters (resampling, convolutions, point filters, ditherings, ...) some supports running in multiple threads
- Drawing and input support for X11 (with support for multiple windows), SDL, Linux Framebuffer, AALib, kernel input layer
- Text drawing with compiled-in fonts or TTF fonts using FreeType
- V4L2 frame grabbers
- Python bindings (work in progress, but generally most of the C API is covered at the time)
- Has number of unit tests
One of the tasks I want to tackle before the RC1 release is to make spiv (image viewer based on the library) to be full featured image viewer. The work has already began with implementation of feh-like actions, code cleanups, better help (-h), cleaner implementation of slideshow timers, etc. What is currently the most missing part is better configuration and handling for zooming.
There are more (smaller) tasks I have in my mind. If anybody wants to give helping hand feel free to contact me or ask on our our mailing list.

x64id: An x86/x64 instruction disassembler by m.crivellari
Description
This is an old side project. An x86/x64 machine code decoder. It is useful to get instructions' length and identify each of its fields.
Example:
C7 85 68 FF FF FF 00 00 00 00
This is the instruction:
MOV DWORD PTR SS:[LOCAL.38],0
What follows are some of the information collected by the disassembler, based on the specific instruction:
RAW bytes (hex): C7 85 68 FF FF FF 00 00 00 00
Instr. length: 10
Print instruction fields:
Located Prefixes 0:
OP: 0xC7
mod_reg_rm: 0x85
disp (4): 0xFFFFFF68
Iimm: 0x0
Lacks the mnemonic representation: from the previous machine code is not able to produce the "MOV..." instruction, for example.
Goals
The goal is almost easy: partially implement the mnemonic representation. I have already started during the weekend, likely tomorrow I will push the branch!
Resources
- The project: https://github.com/DispatchCode/x64-Instruction-Decoder/
- This is useful to avoid gdb and objdump in local: https://defuse.ca/online-x86-assembler.htm
- Another interesting resource is https://godbolt.org/
Progress
- An initial implementation can be found at: https://github.com/DispatchCode/x64-Instruction-Decoder/tree/mnemonic-support It is described under the "Mnemonic translation" in the README file!
Let's consider this example:
[...other bytes...] 43 89 44 B5 00 01 00 [...other bytes...]
Add a machine-readable output to dmidecode by jdelvare
Description
There have been repeated requests for a machine-friendly dmidecode output over the last decade. During Hack Week 19, 5 years ago, I prepared the code to support alternative output formats, but didn't have the time to go further. Last year, Jiri Hnidek from Red Hat Linux posted a proof-of-concept implementation to add JSON output support. This is a fairly large pull request which needs to be carefully reviewed and tested.
Goals
Review Jiri's work and provide constructive feedback. Merge the code if acceptable. Evaluate the costs and benefits of using a library such as json-c.
Port OTPClient to GTK >= 4.18 by pstivanin
Project Description
OTPClient is currently using GTK3 and cannot easily be ported to GTK4. Since GTK4 came out, there have been quite some big changes. Also, there are now some new deprecation that will take effect with GTK5 (and are active starting from 4.10 as warnings), so I need to think ahead and port OTPClient without using any of those deprecated features.
Goal for this Hackweek
- fix the last 3 opened issues (https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/402, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/404, https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/406) and release a new version
- continue the rewrite from where we left last year
- if possible, finally close this 6 years old issue: https://github.com/paolostivanin/OTPClient/issues/123
Smart lighting with Pico 2 by jmodak
Description
I am trying to create a smart-lighting project with a Raspberry Pi Pico that reacts to a movie's visuals and audio that involves combining two distinct functions: ambient screen lighting(visual response) and sound-reactive lighting(audio response)
Goals
- Visuals: Capturing the screen's colour requires an external device to analyse screen content and send colour data to the MCU via serial communication.
- Audio: A sound sensor module connected directly to the Pico that can detect sound volume.
- Pico 2W: The MCU receives data fro, both inputs and controls an LED strip.
Resources
- Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W
- RGB LED strip
- Sound detecting sensor
- Power supply
- breadboard and wires
Improve the picotm Transaction Manager by tdz
Picotm is a system-level transaction manager. It provides transactional semantics to low-level C operations, such as
- memory access,
- modifying data structures,
- (some) file I/O, and
- common interfaces from the C Standard Library and POSIX.
Picotm also handles error detection and recovery for all it's functionality. It's fully modular, so new functionality can be added.
For the Hackweek, I want to dedicate some time to picotm. I want to finish some of the refactoring work that I have been working on. If there's time left, I'd like to investigate two-phase commits and how to support them in picotm.
Picotm is available at http://picotm.org/.
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

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).

Improve chore and screen time doc generator script `wochenplaner` by gniebler
Description
I wrote a little Python script to generate PDF docs, which can be used to track daily chore completion and screen time usage for several people, with one page per person/week.
I named this script wochenplaner and have been using it for a few months now.
It needs some improvements and adjustments in how the screen time should be tracked and how chores are displayed.
Goals
- Fix chore field separation lines
- Change screen time tracking logic from "global" (week-long) to daily subtraction and weekly addition of remainders (more intuitive than current "weekly time budget method)
- Add logic to fill in chore fields/lines, ideally with pictures, falling back to text.

Liz - Prompt autocomplete by ftorchia
Description
Liz is the Rancher AI assistant for cluster operations.
Goals
We want to help users when sending new messages to Liz, by adding an autocomplete feature to complete their requests based on the context.
Example:
- User prompt: "Can you show me the list of p"
- Autocomplete suggestion: "Can you show me the list of p...od in local cluster?"
Example:
- User prompt: "Show me the logs of #rancher-"
- Chat console: It shows a drop-down widget, next to the # character, with the list of available pod names starting with "rancher-".
Technical Overview
- The AI agent should expose a new ws/autocomplete endpoint to proxy autocomplete messages to the LLM.
- The UI extension should be able to display prompt suggestions and allow users to apply the autocomplete to the Prompt via keyboard shortcuts.
