We currently have a set of shell scripts that verify if patches can be properly installed on multiple combinations of base products, extensions and modules. These scripts are all written in shell and are annoying to maintain, as configuration and code is all mixed up. My objectives are: (a) to rewrite all the scripts in a single tool, in Python; (b) separate code and configuration, so that adding a new product/SP requires only editing a configuration file; and (c) make the checkers more flexible, allowing execution from the command line against specific repositories (use case: checking one single maintenance incident before submitting it to QAM).

The basic idea is is to boot the plain SUSE installation system (inst-sys) but to not let it run YaST. Instead inst-sys runs Relax-and-Recover (rear) as generic installer that does the system installation.

There were several attempts to integrate ABRT to openSUSE. In this Hack Week I'd like to: 1. review those attempts;

• learn how to code on golang
• create a script for docker testing (bash or python)

motivation

jenkins is a great CI system (continuous integration) with a plethora of plugins available. SUSE QA uses openQA extensively as it excels in distribution and product testing - not only image comparison (common misconception ;-) ). How about combining both in using jenkins with plugins to act as a UI for openQA?

It's a CTF like game, where the goal is to unlock "lock" devices. Having access to a disassembled code you have to create an input that will unlock the device by exploiting a bug in its code.

See README for description of the Dove-eye project (poor man's Hawk-Eye). The main goal is to make 2D object tracking from a single camera more stable, so that it's reliable for 3D localization.

Challenge

The salt-minion client-side agent is still a bit hefty due to its dependencies and SUSE's strange Python packaging. Let's see how to create a minimal salt-minion packaging.

I want to use this hackweek to get some practice with git and rst and maybe more specifically, as a project, to set a blog written in rst and hosted in github.

French government provides a pretty up-to-date data set with the gas prices in France as open data. These data could be useful in the offline GPS application [Osmand][1] for drivers to find the cheapest nearby place to buy they gas.
