The trend of adopting Web technology in Desktop is ubiquitous these days. Both as a learning project and a proof of concept, we'd like to

This project will focus mostly on getting to know the Clojure and ClojureScript ecosystem.

Continue development of generic job server in haskell with primary focus on continuous integration and later possibly as support tool for data analysis in semantic file storage server, software configuration engine, etc

Paul McKenney's blog article inspired me to try apply his approach to kernel's memory allocation flags (gfp_flags) and how their combinations affect the decisions and actions taken during page allocation. Recent upstream development around these flags leads me to believe that the complexity is too high for me to reason about them and change the code without unintended changes in semantics. So it might be worth to let the computer do the hard work.

I'd like to learn how to use Robot Framework for doing Acceptance Tests of a cli application: Machinery.

Apache Maven is a build tool used by many Java projects, which is incompatible with OBS in that it tries to download binary dependencies from the Internet. Several people have in the past years tried to somehow bootstrap Maven and failed.

Ionic + AngularJS + Node.js (http://ionicframework.com/)

Record two songs by the end of the week.

Needing to learn git, I thought it would be a good time to clean up the code and create a git project for it.

PXE boot is a quick and easy way to install any SUSE/openSUSE product on a machine. It doesn't require any boot media and today virtually any system is capable of booting using PXE.

The architecture team maintains a tftp server with boot loaders, boot loader configurations and installation images for a variety of architectures and products. Currently in the Nuernberg office this PXE boot service is only available in the network of the architecture team. Since tftp is unicast, the server should be reachable from anywhere in the internal network. What is missing is the information about the address of the tftp server and the image to boot from this server.

The user space interface of evdev is pretty generic. All hardware abstraction is done in the kernel driver, device properties are mapped to a set of generic properties. The properties can be queried thru a generic interface only very few parameters are set from user space. In user space the evdev API is used by Xorg's evdev driver and libinput.

As a part of this hackweek, I'd like to take a look at Clojure and use it to solve as many problems as possible from the project euler.

Or at least, test as many of them as possible.

Scaleway is a newly opened Cloud based in France (for now) offering ARM based servers. Those are BareMetal SSD cloud servers. They offer a range of operating systems to pick from (Debian, Ubuntu, ArchLinux...) as well as 'application images' (Docker, ownCloud...) but no openSUSE image yet.

open-sTeam is a platform for cooperative work and cooperative learning developed at the university of paderborn in germany. the platform is being used at http://societyserver.org/ and is being developed further.

Elasto is a cloud storage client project that has been developed across a number of SUSE Hack Weeks.
It currently supports Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure REST storage protocols, and includes a POSIX like file API.

For development purpose, it is very useful to have an infrastructure that can spot regressions based on commit base. Currently, our existing infrastructure runs mainly SPEC benchmark and is cumbersome from perspective of any further development. I would like to build a replacement that will combine buildbot framework with a custom web project (based on Django framework). The web project will be used both for submitting reports coming from a buildbot slave and for UI which will serve plots and data.

I am a beginner: I have read 1½ books on Haskell. I want to practice.

A new web UI for saltstack, possibly the future of systems management.
