As DBus a main component in Linux user space, in this hackweek I plan to learn more about it. Tentative Plan: a node js binding for sd-bus interface offered by systemd (available in SLE12)

YaST code organization is a mess at many levels (files location, namespaces, code dependencies...). Recently we created this gist to put some of the issues on the table Many YaST developers will be at openSUSE Conference, that overlaps with Hackweek. The plan is to lock them all in a room with a blackboard and reach agreements on how the code should be organized in the future. Then use Hackweek to iron the details, document everything in some kind of style guide and, if time permits, even do some experiments about how to adapt the existing code to the new conventions.

This project aims for enabling FCoE over virtio-net. With that we should be able to run FCoE within a KVM guest, and finally have a 'real' FC host in a KVM guest. This should enable 'real' FC testing, like link failure, multipath operations etc.

Right now, every time a new team wants a new room in our Jangouts instance, they have to ping me and I have to manually create the room. That means: * Adding some lines to the corresponding config file

The current Jangouts UI is limiting us when thinking about adding new features. Some examples: * This (using the whole thumbnail to pin a participant) was implemented, but the result is far from optimal (I have not even deployed it in production).

Our previous efforts to enable gdb to open kdumps was not received in upstream as well as we hoped for. The perhaps-acceptable way would be to extend gdb with the possibility of implementing targets in Python, then create example binding to libkdumpfile (which already got a Python binding). We've already tried that, yet it has to be tidyed up. So this project aims at:

Clair is a static vulnerability analyzer for containers. Currently it supports containers based on Debian, Ubuntu and RedHat. I already started this project on the CSM workshop, now I want to finish the integration for openSUSE and SLES based container images. You can track the changes at https://github.com/coreos/clair/pull/199.

Flatpak (previously known as xdg-app) is a bundle system, based on ostree, to easily make available applications bundle to users. Currently, flatpack is available on openSUSE Tumbleweed but we don't ship any runtime based on openSUSE (freedesktop or GNOME runtime). Also, it could be interesting to generate flatpak bundle directly from OBS, if possible, using either available packages or directly application sourcecode.

I've attempted this several times already and each attempt had different shortcomings. I'm kind of curious about how exactly will I fail this time. And it looks like I haven't failed this time.

Tigervnc comes with two very similar VNC viewers - one written in C++ and one in java. The java one can be embedded in a webpage as a java applet. We use that in our default VNC setup (the one enabled in YaST). That way if user doesn't have VNC viewer installed, browser is enough. However running java applets in browser is getting harder every day. Especially when the applet isn't signed by a trusted authority.

To make sure openSUSE can coexist nicely with an existing Windows installation, we need to have automated regression testing. UEFI and secure boot are especially interesting.That means installing Windows and openSUSE in parallel in openQA. Instead of just uploading some prepared hard disk image, openQA should ideally install Windows itself and save the generated image. In a second run openQA can then install the latest Leap or TW on that disk image.

Automation tools are our emotional friends. Know each other deeper and improve it, it's a way to be harmonious for our friendship. 1. SLEnkins

• Build zookeeper, mesos-master and mesos-slave on SLE12
• Setup a 3-nodes high-availability cluster (zookepper + mesos-master + mesos-slave run on each node)

L3 bug reproduction often requires becoming the admin for a moment. I'd like to write down some nifty tricks I used to get certain “interesting” system configurations to work.

In Beijing HA server room, we have a Huawei switch with a 10GB bandwith uplink FC port, a iSCSI HBA, a desktop computer, and some SFPs, I will build a 10GB bandwith iscsi server.

Implement a Little man computer in the Go programming language. Accepts LMC assembly code, compiles it and executes it.

I want to make ruby-lint usable. ruby-lint, as described by its author:

Create a console application for a crossword puzzle generator that can be fed with a custom list of word+explanation pairs. It may be used by people to quickly familiarize with a specific topic (e.g. a knowledge area, new hires to the company ...) to at least understand the terminology and the abbreviations that are used. Or to just have some distraction and fun :-) I think it consists of three components:

QA wants to set up a new QA Portal to get an new organized entry point for all Information that is QA related. The Hackweek Project is to start a discussion with the different QA groups, SLE QA, CSS QA and QAM to collect ideas and make a concrete plan.

There is a super cool framework for mobile phone apps available: ionic (http://ionicframework.com/) ionic allows you to write apps in HTML, (Angular) JavaScript, and TypeScript for any mobile phone platforms: iOS, Android, and Windows Phone. You just need to know how to use HTML and JavaScript and you can start writing an app and convert it to any mobile phone platform.

Together with my son, I'm working on improving the Salt support in Manager 3. The idea is inspired by SUSE OpenStack Cloud's Crowbar tool:
