Investigate the state of bioinfo FOSS (mostly interested in DNA sequencing and sequence analysis) on Linux (and possibly other platforms), learn some algorithms, learn to use the available software, find what needs to be improved and if time permits, start improving.

Currently GCC relies only on the most generic alias analysis when attempting to track data in aggregates in interprocedural (IPA) optimizations. In the course of this project I plan to revive patches for using simple escape analysis to track all data which do not have their address escaped and use that information to track constants within them, analyze the impact on a number of benchmarks and submit them to GCC trunk.

qemacs is a nice emacs style editor by Fabrice Bellard (qemu's original author).

XFCE currently has no support for monitor hotplugging, which makes it hard to use on Laptops with docking stations. This project wants to add support to XFCE to automatically adjust its display setup when the monitor configuration changes.

Working on a way to add exceptions using javascript (jquery), php, json, and mysql to modify the generated calendar used to manage who is on after hours.

I just learned about xenctx, which is used to help debug Xen issues. I am wondering if it would be easily ported to KVM. If not, perhaps at least creating the equivalent for KVM may be useful for handling problems with KVM guests.

Yast team has a great experience in automating tasks that can be done by machines in order to save time that can be used better. We usually use Jenkins for running these jobs.

The virtualization team's automated testing has a long history. It was born in the old Novell Integration Test framework. The virtualization lab ran an instance of this framework for many years. Over time, those who knew the framework left the company, taking their knowledge and leaving little documentation behind. As our testing needs increased, we found the old framework insufficient, but saw little value in improving it given the available open source CI frameworks.

Currently whenever there is a test, we need to find or build environment on our own machine or borrow some one else's machine temparorily. I hope we can collect all testing machines in our local team and build a sharable testing environment. Every one can reserve and use the machine, add machine, check machine info to find proper one (hardware and software) for test, share vm images, share other testing related resources, etc.

Using traditional hardware development tools, apply a Non-uniform Choppy Transformation to a block of ligneous substance. The end result should be a 3D rendering of the Geeko glyph.

CoreOS is a new Linux distribution that has been rearchitected to provide features needed to run modern infrastructure stacks. CoreOS is popular on most cloud providers (EC2, Rackspace, GCE), virtualization platforms (Vagrant, VMware, OpenStack, QEMU/KVM) and bare metal servers (PXE, iPXE, ISO, Installer).

SELinux Common Intermediate Language is a language that allows the creation of SELinux policies. Some of the traditional constrains (tight coupling, nested optionals, ...) are lifted or not as problematic.

GNU Guile-2.2 will be based on brand new backend, CPS(continuation passing style) as the most significant IR, and a RegisterVM. These are the prerequisite for the final AOT compiler.

It is well-known that two git commits within a single repo can be independent from each other, by changing separate files to each other, or changing separate parts of the same file(s). Conversely when a commit changes a line, it is "dependent" on not only the commit which last changed that line, but also any commits which were responsible for providing the surrounding lines of context, because without those previous versions of the line and its context, the commit's diff would not cleanly apply.

Storing the devices in libstorage as a graph looks like a natural approach. The boost graph library (BGL) could be used here instead of the selfmade iterator over iterator (not a graph) concept currently used.

CalDAV [1] and CardDAV [2] are client/server protocols designed to allow users to access and share calendar and contact data on a server. There are many CalDAV and CardDAV clients around, e.a. Thunderbird/Lightning and also free CalDAV and CardDAV servers like Baïkal.

> [arbs] is a tool for keeping an OBS project in sync with an ArchLinux package repository. More specifically, I use it to sync [home:roman-neuhauser:arch-community][h:rn:ac] with [community.git][c.git], a mirror of the actual svn repository underlying community.

Using NFC(Near field communication) tag / phone Lock and Unlock ( replace password login ) on openSUSE with Gnome.

Born as a hackweek #8 project OtoBUR (https://github.com/ismail/otobur) is an Android app to show Bursa (a Turkish city) Municipal Bus Timeline. Since I own a Windows Phone now I'd like to port it to Mono and later on Windows Phone (XAML).

bundler-audit is an open source that scans you Gemfile.lock (if you program with ruby) for known vulnerabilities.

Recent packages for Chef on the SUSE platforms are in a poor shape. In the meantime, Chef 12 is in the beta phase. Let's use the hack week to polish and update our Chef packages.

Learn QT and make something to try it.

Dive into VLC and fix mixing video and audio sources together with multiple transcoding and multiple outputs.
