write mkcloudcloud - a nested cloud setup software

a project by bmwiedemann

In https://github.com/SUSE-Cloud/automation/ we already have mkcloud, which can setup a whole SUSE Cloud on a single host for testing. However, it would be cool, if (instead of a single machine) we could use cloud.suse.de with its capability to add extra networks as requested.

openQA webVTT subtitles

a project by bmwiedemann

The webVTT standard (nearly the same as the older SRT subtitles) allows to add subtitles to a video. We could use this in openQA to show which keys were pressed at that point in the video, in which line of code we were or on what event we waited. This could make debugging easier and might be instructive to users, too.

Learn Salt by converting ansible scripts to salt states.

a project by kbaikov

I would like to learn Salt by converting ansible scripts to salt states. Current ansible scripts do some QA tasks on cloud nodes, so i thought it would be a good idea to convert them to salt after reading salt tutorial.

Search in internal wiki

a project by yosun

Now we are lack of using internal wiki page to solve problem. One of the reason is that we don't know if it contain the solution we need, and it's not convenient to search it manually in wiki page. It's much more slower than using google. In one group, we are most likely facing the same problem during work. So keeping the best solution, which we got from searching engine, in internal wiki is an efficiency way to collect standard workflow.

Bare metal testing in OpenQA

Tool to update images in an OpenStack Cloud

an idea by tbechtold

Currently there is an internal OpenStack instance (cloud.suse.de). Most of the images there are outdated so it's common that everybody just uploads a new image. Would be nice to have a tool which updates at least the most common images (SLE11&12, openSUSE, CentOS, Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora) automatically once a day. So ater spawning a new VM, there would be no need to first update (and maybe reboot) the machine or upload a new image before you can start to work.

Rusty Web

a record by oholecek

There is this rather new programming language from Mozilla called Rust. Its in development for over a two years and it is finally getting to some stable point and not changing every night or so. The language has many interesting features and concepts for safe concurrency and high performance worthy exploring. Thanks to my subtle desire to recover some long lost web programming skills I want to test how will Rust do as a, albeit very limited, web framework.
