Since I'm a maintainer of Gnome-Logs, I'd like to hack on Gnome-Logs. During the hack week I'll focus on the bug 753471 of Logs.

During hack week I will carry on the research I started to write my thesis. The work is called "Turbulence Driven Clustering in Nematic Active Particles" and will (hopefully) make it into a Physical Review Letters paper.

My hobby project is about using Lego mindstorms to turn a lathe / turning machine into a CNC.

I want to use this week to familiar with the SUSE products that i don't have time/chance to participate. For instance, SUSE Cloud, SUSE storage, Docker etc... Just like the presentations in SUSEcon 2015 closing keynote.

The goal is to jump forward with this fate: https://fate.suse.com/319319

and find out how it compares to salt

I have a few ideas of improvements for the delogo filter included in ffmpeg's libavfilter.

Openstack Congress provides Policy as a service solution for Openstack based clouds. Policy based fulfillment makes it convenient to write policies for VM migrations and evacuations based on data monitored from various data sources. The aim of the project is to integrate the service to SUSE openstack cloud and evaluate the use of policies as a means to develop HA solutions.

A normal Xen server today has many single points of failure. Those can be reduced by disaggregating Dom0 into multiple domains (xenstore, driver domains, admin domain). Following this path to it's logical end will lead to a setup where the running domUs won't be depending on Dom0 any more, so Dom0 itself can be made restartable.

Porting training labs to Python. This includes re-implementing the host side BASH scripts (which handle VirtualBox and KVM related tasks) to Python. For full details on this please follow training-labs project:

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.

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.

Our QEMU/KVM testing needs to be improved.

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.

Testing libgphoto2/gphoto2 is a long winding task and currently requires physical cameras.

Machinery [1] supports the inspection of os, packages, patterns, repositories, users, groups, services, config-files, changed-managed-files, unmanaged-files.

[MTUI][MTUI] is a tool used by QA-Maintenance in testing maintenance updates. Saddled with a host of questionable choices for its interfaces and implementation, it includes a number of difficult-to-fix bugs and hostility toward change. While not the first choice for me, the time's come to scout out a different approach. Welcome SMRT.
