Once again, the SUSE band is coming together to make music and we're planning a party this time round!!!

New Development

Python is well known all over the world and has wide range of usage. Lets dive into to a bit.

Gang(ghe@suse.com) and Eric(zren@suse.com) will do a functional comparison analysis between OCFS2 and GFS2 during this hack week. we will try to setup a GFS2 cluster environment, compare the features and performance with OCFS2,

As every hackweek, lets package/update/cleanup some stuff fore factory:

We are right now testing a patch to Janus that will hopefully give us the stability we were missing in http://jangouts.suse.de. As a consequence, it's reasonable to expect a wider usage of Jangouts inside the company. Thus, I want to share maintainership of Jangouts as much as possible. The more developers know how to fix errors and implement features, the better.

This is the tool I've been working on since HW11 and it needs more work. Actually, there's always something which could be done on it. It is basically an x86 instruction decoder with special emphasis on the kernel and decoding interesting pieces of it in order to help in the development of low-level patching techniques, among others.

Working remotely has many advantages, but you sometimes lack some infrastructure. Specially if you use several computers or you share space with other SUSE co-workers. We are 3 Susers in Gran Canaria and we plan to share an office. So we have bought a Cubietruck, a tiny device with minimum power consumption, an ARM processor, a SATA interface and a Gigabit ethernet.

Description

It can boot up from udisk/floppy.

Minimal objective

This is what we consider is the minimum result we can achieve at the end of the hackweek.

Given that Leap is now available, as installation media, we are going to dedicate some time to release ready to use 'Just enough Operating

Dochazka is a long-term project to replace the obsolete Attendance & Time Tracking system used by the Prague office since 2007. Dochazka is a complex system consisting of three major components:

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.

PXEAT (stand for PXE Administration Tool) is a tool to easily deploy and manage PXE service.

We are using various tools, many of them are not yet in Tumbleweed (such as rst2html5, git-pimp and so on), aim of this project is to get them there.

I'm interesting in SLEnkins project and I want to learn it a bit. I will try it and know how it works and how to use it.

It's just my learning project about Docker, I will research and learn how to deploy and configure Docker and Docker cluster, and also I will try to learn everything related about Docker.

Packman reduction

In openSUSE Asia summit 2015, there was a talk about the software defined networking, from the virtual switch, the controller, to the simulator. Just want to take a look at open vswitch and Ryu to learn more about SDN.

gdb-kdump (and libkdumpfile) needs a plenty of improvements and tasks to be done. For HackWeek 13, Vlastimil chose to work on SLAB memory support, Petr, amongst other things, reorganized the libkdumpfile code and alnovak begun with libkdumpfile's ppc64 support. Our status in 4/5 of HackWeek 13:

DAPS is the tool used by the SUSE documentation team to generate HTML, ePUB, PDF, ... output of the SUSE manuals from DocBook XML sources. It uses the suse-xsl-stylesheets for this purpose.

Read in a crash or oops-style backtrace and access DWARF information to output the current content of the stack and registers in term of symbols, and the the crash commands to dump/pretty print them. In other words, when looking at a crash dump, answer the questions "Which variable is currently stored in $rax? What is the structure of the stack? Which variable is stored at $rsp+16?"

While in the past MIPS boards were either low-end PIC32 or found in routers running OpenWRT at most, Imagination themselves have recently released the Creator CI20 board (Ingenic, MIPS32) running Debian. And the Shield Pro (previously iGuardian) kickstarter project (Octeon-III, MIPS64) promises to become a playground for testing KVM hardware virtualization.

At SUSE LabsConf 2015 we decided to run some sort of automated tests on the SLE and openSUSE kernels after each push to kerncvs.suse.de

My car has it, nowadays every smartphone has it. But what's actually the math behind GPS (GLONASS) technique?

This is about porting the old KDE 3 based KDirstat to the latest Qt 5. KDirStat didn't use that much KDE infrastructure to begin with, and KDE seems to be more and more a moving target.

To say it's a review, it's better to say it's a good way to learn from others. I'll review test scripts in openQA project as much as I can, digest them and learn how to write Perl script more pretty. I'll make some notes for sharing.

Use python "textgrocery" class to classify the webpage informaton . It's very interest to analyze the "focus" of a webpage .

libvirt+Xen should support the qdisk (qemu) rbd backend, providing native access to block devices hosted on Ceph clusters. Adding this support to the libvirt+Xen toolstack will also improve interoperability with SUSE Enterprise Storage.

Smalltalk is an object-oriented, dynamically typed, reflective programming language and Pharo is a modern, open-source,

and find out how it compares to salt

This hackweek, we will be hacking on Weblate and adding features that we need to use it as a translation tool for openSUSE!

Linux Certification Preparation

Let's do this :) !!!

SCC doesn't require an email address, so could you automatically generate random keys until one matches and effectively 'steal' SCC licenses from customers?

Writing code is wonderful, but it gets its real value, when it's released and shipped to the world. You know the mantra: "Release early, release often".

Our QEMU/KVM testing needs to be improved.

While programming is occasionally a very rewarding activity, it's mostly a chore and the rest is filled with frustration. Let's teach an unsuspecting youngster program!

froxlor Server Management Panel

The Nvidia Jetson TK1 is an SBC with Nvidia Tegra K1 SoC (quad-core Cortex-A15, 32-bit ARMv7).

Micro-service for - making a report

The software is a rails app with an Angular.js frontend using the gphoto2 library to trigger a Nikon D60 camera.

I'm trying to write a static analyzer for Lua programming language. And I've ready done some parts, say, lexer/parser/AST/types...etc.

During the last CSM workshop we identified the need to have a good way to share the images we use for testing. We have documented the requirements and the current status in this wiki page (we even have a diagram).

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.
