Enhance the YaST ncurses package installation to show the changelog of a package and the level of supportability (on SLE).

kGraft is SUSE Labs answer to the rising need for being able to patch the running kernel without rebooting the system. I think this kind of tool is very cool, so by this hackweek chance, I want to investigate it how it works and how it was implemented. And also by this chance, I hope I can improve my ability of kernel hacking. If you are also interested in kernel live patching, please join this project together.

This mostly stems from

From time to time we face collisions when two teams would like to play at the same time.

Two trainees embarking on their coding adventure!

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

Over lunch the machinery team was talking about telepresence and mobile solutions and I came up with the idea of abusing a cheap wifi controlled toy tank as base for such a project.

As every hackweek, lets package/update/cleanup some stuff fore factory:

Learn QT and make something to try it.

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.

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

Introduction

WLAN, bluetooth, DVB, DAB, ... I'm not getting any data!

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).

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

> [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.

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.

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.

This is about starting to use functional programming paradigms that get used more and more?

Linux From Scratch (LFS) is a project that provides you with step-by-step instructions for building your own customized Linux system entirely from source.

Spacewalk is the upstream project of SUSE Manager.

VOVO is a server-client architecture to determine current abuild load on devel-network machines. The goal is to trigger machines on and off depending on build power. It is an attempt to reduce power consumption.

Make a final attempt to implement a graphical user interface for grub2 (gfxboot2).

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Learn ceph architecture and try to deploy a ceph cluster.

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.

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.

Each of the core dump upload servers in Europe and USA could be improved if the shell scripts were combined so that the same tasks can be performed on each site, e.g. downloading of all packages needed for crash usage with a specified core dump by allowing for configurable (or even automated) selection of locations to obtain data packages from.

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.
