While in general everything still works, the current (patached/extended) planet installation behind planet.opensuse.org is a bit outdated and not maintained any more. The initial plan is to:

Tahoe-LAFS is an open-source decentralized cloud storage system. It distributes your data across multiple servers. Even if some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire file store continues to function correctly, preserving your privacy and security. It provides a provider-independent security where the storage provider does not have access to the unencrypted data because all data is encrypted, erasure-coded, and hashed before leaving the client's machine thus preserving confidentiality, availability, and integrity of the data.

This Hackweek I would like to finish enhancing of the mysql-packaging git repository [1]. This improvement mainly consists of scripts for a kind of simple continuous integration and git hooks to enforce a few policies for our project. If there is a time I will also take a look at the mysql package itself and check if there is anything to improve. [1] https://github.com/openSUSE/mysql-packaging

<p>There are numerous testing tools for the GFX stack available - the oldes being the xtest suite. At the same time, we are still lacking automated test environments for the funktionalities of DRM, Mesa and X. Ideally the tests should be performed automatically and unattended and the results should be compared to previous runs to detect regressions.</p> <p>Research what tools exist to date and how they can be employed.</p>

Look at static code analysis and code coverage for a C++ project, in this case libstorage-bgl-eval. This could include:

There is a new kernel API/feature: powercapping. The perfect userspace tool to ease up usage and later possibly provide library calls is cpupower.

Learn Coccinelle ,we need automatic kernel backporting with Coccinelle.

CodeMirror is a text editor implemented in JavaScript for the browser, openQA introduced CodeMirror in its source viewer, this project is learn more things from CodeMirror and trying to improving the source viewer in openQA, already had a ticket related, even can polish source viewer more, eg. file folding, etc.

LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) is an emerging Internet standard for accessing directory information, and allowing LDAP-enabled applications to access multiple directories. LDAP v3 supports features such as secure connections, entry management, schema management, and LDAP controls and extensions for expanding LDAP's functionality. LDAP Libraries for 'D' enables you to write applications that access, manage, and update information stored in any LDAP-aware directories, using D language (http://dlang.org/).

Try to use acpiexec to debug AML for writing ASL codes. On the other hand, install Windows 10 on Qemu to poke the ACPI TAD implementation in Windows 10.

AFAIK, wireshark is the best Linux tool for analyzing network traffic. Primarily intended for Ethernet networks, there is now also support for very different protocols (e.g. USB). Sadly, there is no support for fibre channel, most likely because there is even no infrastructure in the kernel. I doubt I could write the complete stack within just one week. The result should be a clear plan of what needs to be done on each level and a proof-of-concept implementation of at least some parts.

Testing libgphoto2/gphoto2 is a long winding task and currently requires physical cameras. There is some testsuite, but it does not test the actual camera driver(s).

In SUSE Manager we want to offer support for bootstrapping systems that don't have the salt-minion installed and configured yet. This can be done using salt-ssh given just a hostname, username and password. See the docs about salt rosters for even more options. What we are missing: - Support for using salt-ssh in our library

Test the latest release of guesfs tools, and chech new p2v. Package it for openSUSE My branch

Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) is hardware and firmware technology for remote out-of-band management of personal computers, this hackweek I'd like to spend some time to learn how to setup Intel AMT on my workstation and X201 with VNC enabled.

Machinery [1] supports the inspection of os, packages, patterns, repositories, users, groups, services, config-files, changed-managed-files, unmanaged-files. The inspection of disks it's covered yet. The goal of this project is to fill this gap by using libstorage.

The idea is to learn a little bit more about virtualization.

We had old arndale images working, but those were based on openSUSE-12.x which is now long obsolete and bad (e.g. missing security updates). Thus we want to use a more modern u-boot and kernel, but those currently trigger a kernel panic.
