Taskotop is a tool to check what taskomatic is currently doing on a SUSE Manager server: it's a command line python tool. The core of the tool is to get some info about jobs that taskomatic is running with a fixed time cycle running some queries and showing results to the shell.

Last Hackweek I created a rescue system that is composed of a SUSE Linux kernel in an NSS (Named Saved System) and an xip2fs file system in a DCSS (Dis-Continguous Save Segment). This allows any Linux guest on a z/VM system to say "#cp ipl rescue" and have a fully functional SUSE Linux Enterprise system come up to allow them to fix what ever is wrong with the guest. This Hackweek I want to try to figure out a way to take those two components and package them so that our customers could download them and put them on their z/VM system, using only typical z/VM tools. The rescue system is the output of a Kiwi build in the internal Build Service, which means it can be easily updated as needed.

Improving the openSUSE Websites

Task: - Learn Twopence structure

I will look into libmicro and learn some skill to analyse the results. And then I'll apply the function to IO test and so on.

Google recently open-sourced its Artificial Intelligence/Numerical Computing library called TensorFlow. I would like to use it to help us do a bug report clustering. A bug report often contains lots of comments. In order to find the similar bugs from different customers quickly and intelligently, I would like to choose a proper clustering algorithm and implement a model with TensorFlow, which can be deployed on a PC smoothly.

The support for Orange PI PC in mainline kernel has advanced a bit, so now it should be possible to build openSUSE image that has at least serial support with kernel 4.6 and usb support with 4.7. I will investigate this.

Unfortunately there is no UI designer or editor for YaST dialogs. All dialogs are hand crafted in Ruby code. The idea of this project is to provide some way how to create or edit the existing dialogs in a user friendly way, without touching any code.

With all the changes in the qa_virtauto world, our local CI testing has become rather fragile. This project is all about stabilizing the CI testing and ensuring all builds are fully tested - without manual intervention. :)
