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.

terminal has it, git tool has it, so yast-devtools should also provide it for new rake tasks

qemacs is a nice emacs style editor by Fabrice Bellard (qemu's original author). qemacs is small enough so that it can be compiled as a 100kb executable, but also has a simple codebase

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.

Spacewalk is the upstream project of SUSE Manager. Currently Spacewalk runs on RHEL, CentOS and Fedora, while SUSE Manager runs on SLES.

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. Current status:

bundler-audit is an open source that scans you Gemfile.lock (if you program with ruby) for known vulnerabilities. Let's take the list of issues and enhancements and fix as much as possible

Learn QT and make something to try it.

From time to time we face collisions when two teams would like to play at the same time. As our kicker table moved back to our building, it should be possible to reach the space with WiFi. There is also power plug available so installing IP web camera should be easy enough.

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.

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

Bring the smbtamonitor-qt to a stage where it can be released, with some additional changes.

The project is to address fdisk/libfdisk TODO items from upstream util-linux project: https://github.com/karelzak/util-linux/blob/master/Documentation/TODO#L84

a widget to list events from a JSON backend. the widget may be included by any website to share community events.

I have cloned the classic Snake game in my spare time recently to learn about dynamic memory allocation and pointer stuff in C++. Last week we (the trainees) then had a C/C++ training and one topic was network communication with sockets.

Investigate how SUSE Manager will work (in place of Orthos) for managing Provo-based hardware in labs that needs to be shared across multiple organizations.

The aim of this project is to make openSUSE/SUSE more known in Turkey, to atract students there to more participate in opensuse community: 1) update http://tr.opensuse.org/ which is a bit old, check the links etc.;

Q: How many new bugs opened over time for a package? The question is simple, but need some effort to answer in the context of a distro with thousands of packages.

OpenCV is an open source computer vision and image processing library (http://www.opencv.org). During the hackweek I'd like to broaden a set of image segmentation algorithms in the library with at least the simplest ones. The indices for objective measuring of segmentation quality and first step for segmentation fusion might be other choices.

More and more customers use our products in mission critical environment. They have a huge need that things run smooth. With Hack Week we have the challenge

The primary motivation for crash-setup (created by l3team) is to make kernel crashdumps deployment and crash using as easy as possible. This has been the case for quite some time except the tool was quite l3slave centric. With a great help from tcech the tool is close to be fully usable from other machines and !.de network as well. Let's finish the last pieces. This looks like a very minor project but it will be great to have it finally!

We had a quick course of Coccinelle during the last Labs conference. The tool is really great and I would like to explore possibility of checking lock invariants for particular functions. Julia was really prompt and implemented something that should help but I didn't get to it since the conference.

If you want to use the full potential of SSDs as primary (and possibly only) storage on SLE or openSUSE systems, you are supposed to perform several configuration settings to make it fly, including: - changing the io scheduler of the device to noop or deadline

There is quite a popular Android software for connection OBD standard adapters but not for older, brand specific ones. One for pre 2001 VAG cars is this one:

Although I've been maintaining CRIU package, I had little time to play with it recently. It's still interesting especially in combination with various containers. So let's spend (or waste) some time.

provide a summary report of data from a sar data file. Report should be broken down into subsystems - cpu, memory, disk, and network, and provide individual summaries for each device (cpu, disk, nic).
