YaST module for IRSTa project by mlin7442 Intel Rapid Start Technology(IRST) is a firmware mechanism enables your system to get up and running faster from sleep, saving time and power consumption, it will cause the system to wake up from S3 and suspend to S4(with SSD)[1]. Currently kernel 3.11 already support it[2], however there haven't a graphic tool to control its wakeup event and timeout, like as similar tool on Windows[3]. This Hackweek I'll create a YaST module to handle those parameters. [1] http://mjg59.dreamwidth.org/26022.html |

Enable >256 vcpus for KVM guestsa project by bfrogers Although there isn't much demand right now, it won't be long before >256 vcpus in a KVM guest will be desired. Currently, due to 8 bit apic ids only being used the limit is 256. Implement the x2apic infrastructure that will allow QEMU + KVM to break the 256 vcpu barrier. |
KVM S3 and S4 handling in SLES and openSUSEa project by bfrogers There are issues with S3 and S4 handling in a KVM SLES or openSUSE guest. I'd like to figure out what's going wrong and get things fixed as much as possible. |
OmegaT automatic glossary insertiona project by vdziewiecki I want to continue my work on this feature for a CAT (Computer Aided Translation) program, OmegaT. When translating a segment (usually a sentence), I would like OmegaT to automatically replace all words it finds in an active glossary by their translations. This will save the translator some time. |

Chef Cookbook Attributes file documentation parsera project by iartarisi Write a tool to generate documentation (README.md) from chef cookbook attributes files including the comments that describe the attributes. The goal is to use this with the openstack chef cookbooks from https://github.com/stackforge/ and maybe integrate it the upstream Gerrit as a Jenkins job. The project is hosted at: github/mapleoin/chef-attrdoc |
Reduce the number of builds in the openSUSE Build Servicea project by dmuhamedagic In case any of the source files changed, openSUSE Build Service rebuilds the dependent packages regardless of whether that particular modification affects the dependency. This makes our resources footprint bigger (and the electrical power bills higher). It also affects users, because every new package build causes the package manager to include that package in the next update thus consuming network bandwidth and resources of users' computers. Current OBS controls for package rebuild triggers |

studio-appliance-editora project by bear454 Build an open-source appliance editor for SUSE Studio that interacts only with the API, using modern JS web frameworks. For users, this provides an opportunity to influence, or create unique tailored editing experiences for Studio appliances. For Studio maintainers, this provides a road towards a modern appliance editor, and a chance to remove tens of thousands of lines of brittle legacy code. For hackers, this provides a chance to get your feet wet with modern client-side web technologies, like |
Try another OS (or distro)a project by bear454 Feeling very comfortable with your (open)SUSE desktop? Don't get too comfortable; there's a lot of innovation out there. Try living in a different system for a few days, and see if you can find some innovative paradigms to bring back 'home' with you. Here's a few suggestions: * Feeling really crazy? Try Windows 8 |
pyg: PEG parsing runtime for Pythona project by rneuhauser pyg will be a PEG parser library formed as an internal Python DSL. it will be used in cramex, a copycat of cram with expect support. The surface is heading to resemble Boost.Spirit: grammars are composed using a vaguely (xBNF/PEG)-like syntax enabled through operator overloading. |
REST API for QADBa project by llipavsky QADB is the database used to strore results of automated tests in SUSE QA. It only has web intrface, which is mostly just a better DB view. The goal of this project is to create the REST API to it, which can later be used to query for results from external tools (and maybe even later used by the frontend) |

Podcast Studioa project by KGronlund I've been running a podcast together with two friends for over a year now. We have a recording and mixing process going, but unfortunately it involves using non-free operating systems and software all the way through. It is probably going to be hard to get away from using the things we use for the actual recording part for a while, but one thing I feel should be perfectly doable in openSUSE is the mastering bit. In theory, Audacity could work for this, but it is old and clunky and doesn't do real-time filtering, making it annoying to use. |
Extend iso_codean idea by tboerger I would like to extend my existing gem isocode (https://github.com/tbpro/isocode). Currently it translates all available countries and languages into multiple languages. I plan to integrate more ISO specifications like scriptnames, subdevisions and currencies. |
Finalize geozip geman idea by tboerger I have started many months ago a project named geozip (https://github.com/tbpro/geozip) and i would like to finalize it. I want to parse openstreetmap files and generate polygon geo coordinates for zip codes. After processing it should be exported to multiple file formats to get them imported into databases for various projects. |

libvirt TCKa project by jfehlig The libvirt TCK provides a framework for performing testing of the integration between libvirt drivers, the underlying virt hypervisor technology, related operating system services and system configuration. The idea (and name) is motivated by the Java TCK. Currently the libvirt TCK is not fully packaged for SUSE and the test suite itself contains a lot of Redhat-isms. Mike Latimer and Jim Fehlig will work on properly packaging libvirt TCK (it has a LOT of perl dependencies) and patching it to work better with SUSE virtualization hosts and SUSE guest operating systems. It has traditionally focused on the KVM hypervisor, so there might be some progress made to make it work better with Xen too. |
Kernel oops decodera project by benjamin_poirier Read in a crash or oops-style backtrace and access DWARF information to output the current content of the stack and registers in term of symbols, and the the crash commands to dump/pretty print them. In other words, when looking at a crash dump, answer the questions "Which variable is currently stored in $rax? What is the structure of the stack? Which variable is stored at $rsp+16?" Status at the end of hackweek 10 |
Support for the SMBus ARP protocola project by jdelvare The SMBus standard specifies an address resolution protocol (SMBus ARP.) It has two key features : * Handle I2C slave address collisions. If two SMBus slaves would use the same I2C address, ARP lets one of them pick a different address to avoid the address collision. |

UEFI on ARMan idea by gary_lin Aarch64 was added into UEFI spec recently, and the patches already landed into edk2. The goal of this project is to make an UEFI image to run on the Foundation Model and package Aarch64 edk2 in OBS, so that everyone can just download the latest image and play it. |
Enable python in crash and use it for most functionsan idea by jeff_mahoney Crash originated in a older version of gdb. Since then, gdb has added python to its scripting options. By converting much of the crash functionality to python, we can make it easier to extend existing functionality and allow our customers to do the same. |
Add MOKx for blacklisting any specific hash of kernel module (Hackweek 10 in Taipei)a project by joeyli Add MOKx for blacklisting any specific hash of kernel module. For kernel module sign function, similar to dbx in UEFI, we need a MOKx for blacklisting kernel module that can avoid direct revoke the modsign key in MOK or kernel. |
ohai plugin for querying details like serial numbers from hard drives in chef-client nodesa project by bigironman Gathering detailed information about hardware in an automated way with chef using an ohai plugin enhances transparency about the hardware being used in a datacenter. The idea is to write a plugin for ohai that gatheres information from hard drives used in a node that runs chef-client. |
Optimize packing of objects required for migration to new containera project by vuntz Moving objects to a new container is a problem everyone in R&D has faced at least once in his life. It requires a very advanced algorithm to pack the many different objects (which are generally heterogeneous, with different uses, types, weights and sizes), before the packs can then be transferred to the new container, generally through a dedicated bus. We can identify some usual cases: * In the worst case, the new container can be smaller than the old one, and a garbage collector is generally used to help find a solution that satisfies the problem (a SAT solver can be used to determine which objects should be destroyed). |
SUSE Manager/Spacewalk client debug/test shellan idea by dmacvicar When developing for SUSE Manager, it gets tiresome to setup clients in order to debug and test with clients. The idea is to create a nice shell (with history, command completion, colors) that allows to simulate being a client. |
Booting to btrfs snapshots with grub2a project by michael-chang The bootloader menu has to be able to list snapshots created with tagged attribute by snapper or other tools. These attributes control how snapshots are displayed and organized in the boot menu. All the changes are reflected in real time, that is when a snapshot is created it's ready to boot without the hassle to call grub2-mkconfig to refresh menu. The operation and navigating to the snapshot is intuitive and out of box and booting is even more easy to hit the button. The hackweek is based on current implementation to improve the code structure and testing, like code clean up and make it in better shape get upstreamed, improving the menu to use extended attribute to organize the boot menu with defined attributes which can be tagged by snapshot tools like snapper etc. |
salien - convert deb/pkgbuild/... into .specan idea by bmwiedemann There is the alien program to convert binary packages between various formats, but it would be even nicer to be able to take a debian or archlinux build spec and convert it into an rpm .spec file. Apart from the syntax conversion, this will need some mapping for package names, so that BuildRequires and Requires match the target. |

Create Quickstart for OpenStack on OpenStack (Triple-O)a project by dirkmueller Currently, opensuse-quickstart sets up a one-machine Cloud based on OpenStack, either with KVM or virtualisation. In order for bootstrapping further hosts, it would be much easier to set up only a bare-metal cloud on one machine, and PXE boot a 2nd machine via OpenStack Nova/Ironic. |
create openSUSE 13.1 images for ARMv7 and ARMv8an idea by dirkmueller Currently the last working images for ARMv7/v8 are openSUSE 12.3 based. Since then a lot of new features and regressions have been introduced, so it is time to refresh the appliances based on 13.1 and make them work. |

Add standardized REST interface to Hamstaa project by pkacer Hamsta currently lacks a standardized network interface that would allow other systems accessing its capabilities. There is a custom network interface with text-parsing based protocol that is poorly documented and needs to be implemented on the client side to be usable. This interface does not use any standardized way of communication or library. This project suggests to add a standardized web service interface (let us call it API) to Hamsta. Expected attributes are following. |
Library.suse.de update/replacementan idea by jnweiger Scanning books stopped 6 years ago. We need volunteers to take the scanner and walk through the offices.

Simple stretchable storage cloudan idea by hreinecke A project idea I've been carrying around for several years now. Based upon the 'referrals' concept from SPC-4 it should be rather easy to build up large volumes spread over several nodes. I'm thinking of an iSCSI target here, which gets updated via a corosync engine with any volume updates from the cluster. |
Add snapshot support to cifs.koan idea by dmdiss The File Server Remote VSS Protocol (FSRVP) was recently defined by Microsoft. It allows for SMB clients to remotely request the creation, exposure and destruction of share snapshots. Aside from support in Windows Server 2012, preliminary FSRVP server support has also been implemented for Samba. |
Add support for Amazon S3 cloud backed block devices to istgt / Elastoan idea by dmdiss Elasto is a cloud library and client utility for managing and manipulating cloud storage objects via REST.

An experimental tiny WM of Waylandan idea by NalaGinrut Wayland would replace X11 in the future (maybe soon?), we're researching/learning Wayland. And I planed to try a tiny Window Manager of Wayland for a practice. It's meaningful I think, since there's little independent WM for Wayland, except for Mutter which is a part of Gnome desktop environment. |

OpenStack Tempest Dashboardan idea by jctmichel Tempest is a functional test suite used for OpenStack. It would normally run in the order of 800 tests over the period of 2 hours on a newly installed OpenStack infrastructure. Tempest is written in Python and uses nosetests as the basis of its test framework. There is a large amount of verbose that is streamed to the log file and there is also considerable ambiguity in the overall success rate. |
Zeroconf with others (GNOME Shell, Firefox, Wayland and others)a project by cxiong Zeroconf/Bonjour/Avahi is a very interesting technique that targets at freeing users of services from tedious IP-based network configuration by automatic-distributed address-assigning, name-assigning and service discovery/browsing. It's named officially as zeroconf, Bonjour is the implementation in OS X, iOS and Windows, while Avahi is for Unix-like system. However, while Bonjour is popular and widely used in Apple products, few users take advantage of Avahi in Linux world and the number of applications that do integrate Avahi are still just a few and this feature is not often used. |

virtual wifi adapter in qemuan idea by lnussel one of the top features a distribution must always ship in a working state is wireless. Yet we have no way to test it in an automated way. To be able to do that via openQA we need qemu to emulate a wireless adapter. Whether it's emulating existing hardware or implements some virtio device that only works on Linux doesn't matter. |
Inqlude, the Qt software archivea project by cschum During Hack Week 7 I worked on an archive of Qt-based libraries. The goal was to easily make all available Qt libraries accessible to developers. Think CPAN for Qt. So I hacked on a web site and a command line client. There was a little bit of progress on the project since then, but with the upcoming KDE Frameworks 5 there will be quite a number of additional libraries available for Qt developers. This should be well represented in Inqlude as well. The coverage of Inqlude is also still not complete, and the tooling needs some improvement as well, especially regarding integration with distributions. |
