Gerrit is used for code reviews by openstack and its related projects (e.g. chef cookbooks). The web interface is too slow when you get 100 changes to review each day. It would be nice to have a faster CLI. There are already some python client libraries available. I am thinking about either doing this as a standalone application with python and something like ncurses or an emacs/lighttable plugin.

The idea is simple. Dice is a light weight build service for KIWI images with full control over the build power by the user.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

To add more flexibility, variability and increase testing capacity we would like to move QAM cloud nodes from physical machines(in NUE) into virtual environment.
